Droids have been a staple in the “Star Wars” galaxy from the very beginning. They are engaged as loyal companions, etiquette and protocol aides, and sidekicks. “Droids have been a centerpiece of “Star Wars” for generations, capturing the hearts of fans and igniting imaginations,” said Lynwen Brennan, executive vice-president and general manager at Lucasfilm.

Aside from the awe-inspiring looks and clever functions, much of their appeal comes from their relatable personalities – at times they’re funny, quirky, irascible and even sensitive. Numerous “Star Wars” adventures have followed since the first film debuted, bringing with them a growing menagerie of treasured droids, as well as joy and inspiration to their fans.

Constructed by a young Anakin Skywalker and programmed for etiquette and protocol, C-3PO is a human-cyborg relations droid who is conversant in over six million forms of communication. “Threepio” is a mainstay of nearly all the “Star Wars” films and a constant companion to R2-D2. Though worry-prone, C-3PO was involved in some of the galaxy’s most defining moments and thrilling battles.
