C-3PO is a character from the fictional Star Wars universe. He is a protocol droid - an android specifically designed to interact with organics - with a very proper manner and British accent when speaking in English, though he is, "fluent in over six million forms of communication." He is portrayed by actor Anthony Daniels.
C-3PO (See-Threepio) is generally seen with his counterpart, R2-D2, who is a small, wheeled astromech droid. His main function as a protocol droid is to assist with etiquette, customs, and translation so that meetings of different cultures run smoothly. He is very loyal to his masters (as his programming dictates) and has served over 40 since his creation.
C-3PO is one of the longest lived characters in the Star Wars pantheon, appearing in all three films of the original trilogy, but also in The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones (prequels released after Episode IV through Episode VI). In The Phantom Menace, we learn that C-3PO was built by Anakin Skywalker who would go on to become Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker's nemesis in the original series of films. Appearing mainly in a skeletal state in the film, he doesn't gain his coverings until Attack Of The Clones. From publicity photos, C-3PO appears in his familiar gold state in Revenge Of The Sith. It is presumed he will have his memory wiped in that film, as he doesn't seem to recognize Tatooine or the name Skywalker in A New Hope, although there is evidence that Threepio, in his capacity as a protocol droid, does have some expertise at concealing the truth.
In 2004, C-3PO was inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame.
