C-3PO

C-3PO is a humanoid protocol droid fluent in over six million forms of communication, known for his meticulous etiquette and neurotic personality. Built by Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine, he served Padmé Amidala during the Clone Wars and endured a complete memory wipe before becoming Princess Leia Organa’s aide. Throughout the Galactic Civil War, he acted as the Rebels’ chief translator and aide during pivotal conflicts including the Battles of Yavin, Hoth, and Endor. In the New Republic era, C-3PO continued diplomatic duties before joining the Resistance against the First Order, safeguarding secret Sith knowledge and contributing to the final victory over Emperor Palpatine on Exegol.
