R2D2 and C3PO (No one's been Boxing Star Wars SPOILERS, this will be no different)

Why do they need to do anything?

@E-Sabbath

They’re not there to do anything

Right. That’s the beauty of it!

I know that’s from a movie, but I just can’t put my finger on which one…

Considering that Anakin was (a) living in a city with a spaceport, and (b) might have been building C-3PO for years, this isn’t that hard to believe.

Some schmucks land at Tattoine for a layover, the dust makes their creaky 3PO unit fall apart, Watto picks it up for salvage, Anakin picks a few parts, lather, rince, repeat.

Kind of like that old Johnny Cash song where the guy keeps stealing car parts from the factory so he can build his own…except it works.

So you’re saying that really…
He’s an A9, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, C1, C2, C3-PO protocal droid?

Actually the car he built worked too. It was just a little different [/country music geek nitpick]

Now I’m going to have to go back and listen to the song again.
