After a chase through an asteroid field, the Falcon escapes to Cloud City at Bespin. During this time C-3PO and Han are often shown as foils, with C-3PO quoting odds and Han defying them. C-3PO escapes with Han, Chewbacca, and Leia in the Millennium Falcon, while R2-D2 joins Luke in his search for Yoda ( Frank Oz). In The Empire Strikes Back, C-3PO is responsible for identifying the Empire's probe droid, alerting the Rebels to the Empire's awareness of their location on the sixth planet of the Hoth system. When R2-D2 is damaged in the Battle of Yavin, C-3PO offers to donate any mechanical parts helpful in his repair but this transference is never confirmed. C-3PO is originally the property of the captain on the Tantive IV, but seems to follow R2-D2 in a relationship akin to those between human children C-3PO often following R2-D2 around, and R2-D2 needing C-3PO to translate for him. Throughout the film C-3PO is a foil to R2-D2's antics, even when C-3PO translates R2-D2's machine speech for the audience. C-3PO and a repaired R2-D2 are present at the celebration of the Death Star's destruction at the end of the film. When R2-D2 is damaged during the Battle of Yavin, a grief-stricken C-3PO offers to donate his own parts to help repair his counterpart. When the ship is taken hostage on the Death Star, C-3PO helps R2-D2 shut down the space station's trash compactor, saving their human companions' lives, before escaping on board the Falcon. After Imperial stormtroopers destroy the Lars homestead, C-3PO and R2-D2 go along with Luke and Obi-Wan on a mission to rescue Leia, transported by smugglers Han Solo ( Harrison Ford) and Chewbacca ( Peter Mayhew) on board the Millennium Falcon. The duo ultimately lead Lars' nephew, Luke Skywalker ( Mark Hamill), to Obi-Wan, for whom R2-D2 plays Leia's message. In the process of being sold to Owen Lars ( Phil Brown), C-3PO convinces his new owner to buy R2-D2 as well (after they originally bought R5-D4 and his motivator exploded on the way back to the garage). There, the droids are captured by Jawas, and are taken to be sold. When R2-D2 ( Kenny Baker) attempts to leave the ship to deliver a secret message from Princess Leia ( Carrie Fisher) to Obi-Wan Kenobi ( Alec Guinness), C-3PO follows him into an escape pod, which lands on the planet Tatooine. In Star Wars, C-3PO is introduced to the audience when he and R2-D2 are aboard the consular ship Tantive IV when it is attacked by the Imperial Star Destroyer Devastator.

C-3PO also appears frequently in both canon and Star Wars Legends continuities of novels, comic books, and video games, and was a protagonist in the animated television series Droids. In the majority of depictions, C-3PO's physical appearance is primarily a polished gold plating with a silver plated right leg (from knee joint to ankle), although his appearance varies throughout the films including the absence of metal coverings in The Phantom Menace, a dull copper plating in Attack of the Clones, and a red left arm in The Force Awakens. ĭespite his oblivious nature, C-3PO has played a pivotal role in the galaxy's history, appearing under the service of Shmi Skywalker, the Lars homestead, Padmé Amidala, Bail Organa, Raymus Antilles, Luke Skywalker, Jabba the Hutt, and Leia Organa. Anthony Daniels has portrayed the character in eleven of the twelve theatrical Star Wars films released to date, with the exception of Solo: A Star Wars Story, where the character does not appear. Along with his astromech droid counterpart and friend R2-D2, C-3PO provides comic relief within the narrative structure of the films, and serves as a foil. Built by Anakin Skywalker, C-3PO was designed as a protocol droid intended to assist in etiquette, customs, and translation, boasting that he is "fluent in over six million forms of communication".
