Why does c3po not remember obi wan




















As evidenced in the world of Star Wars , the galaxy is chock full of 3PO series protocol droids, making the odds of C-3PO being the same droid that worked on the farm decades ago incredibly slim. Owen could have easily assumed that these were two different protocol droids if he didn't put much thought into it. While C-3PO seems to have a discernible, precise personality and distinctive voice to fans, these might be common traits among 3PO series protocol droids.

To keep a moisture farm running, the Lars family likely went through dozens of droids through the years. This makes faces and time in the desert blend together, not to mention that it had been about 20 years since Owen last saw Threepio.

The lack of recognition could have come from an old man simply not remembering the passing droids of his youth. Lastly, Owen didn't seem the sentimental type to form any emotional attachments to droids. Being a practical man, he viewed them as tools to be used and replaced when they no longer functioned. He could have recognized C-3PO as a tool from his past, but showed no outward signs of remembering him because he thought it unessential.

And Aunt Berut sp? In Episode 3, Obi wan tells r2 d2 that he should not tell anything what has happened. Why should they remember the droids? They aren't people, they are machines, tools. Don't think they spent any real time talking to 3P0, just sending off to do tasks, and only had passing contact with R2.

Doubt that. They probably see so many protocol and astromech droids they probably never stopped to think the possibility the 2 they just got are the same. The same goes for protocol droids. I was thinking they would remember C3P0, as he was the driod that Ani's mom brought with her when she was bought by their father. So when Owen talked with C3P0 in ep4, when he bought him , I would have thought he would have remembered him.

Oh, confusion, confusion, confusion. Firstly, droids are ten-a-penny in the Star Wars universe and most are totally ignored except when issuing orders or complaining when they break down. Lastly, Shmi is Clegg Lars' second wife. Owen was born many years before Shmi arrived, he was already have been pretty much grown up by the time she and C-3PO moved in.

You come asking a question. People point you in the direction where this question has been discussed before. You become pissy about it, someone gets frustrated and you tell THEM to get off their high horse? When C-3P0 was passed on to Bail Organa, his memory was erased. It was not stated that the same had been done to R2-D2, so if he were to remember Obi-Wan which he did , it would make perfect sense. The reason Obi-Wan claimed he had no memory of owning a droid was not because of his fear of Luke knowing to much, it was simply George Lucas's mistake.

He admitted this at a Star Wars convention years ago, but he then excused it with a perfectly logical explanation. George said that Obi-Wan was just using lies of omission to his advantage, and that the astromech knew too much information that was key for Luke to discover in time. Similar to the way Obi-Wan said that Darth Vader had murdered Luke's father, as technically correct as that is, it is still a lie of omission and one can only hope that Disney is more careful than George was.

C3PO had his memory erased so he doesn't remember at all. And I agree with the above statement about Obi-Wan and R2 having an off set agreement about there friendship. In the end Obi-Wan cannot reveal anything about the past and Vader because it's Luke's destiny to find out who Vader is and determine whether he is good or bad.

As opposed to being forced to thinking he is bad. Well, actually he remembers them In episode 4 when he saves Luke from thw tusken he talks to r2 and calls him "my little friend". C3PO does not remember him, because he. Thus he forgot he ever belonged to Anakin and Obi never mentioned ever being acquainted with him prior to the Empire taking over. As far as the R2D2 mystery goes, I think Obi-Wan told him to keep that a secret and hide their acquaintance.

I think this is a ridiculous thing to argue about. Doesn't he know Darth Vader is Anakin? He is giving Luke the information that he needs to know in the wy he needs to hear it to start him on his path to being a Jedi.

Obi Wan obviously isn't married to the whole truth. Obi Wan never said "I don't recognize this droid. Jedi usually only "owned" what they could carry on their person. R2 definitely didn't belong to Obi Wan because he was always used by Anakin and then given to Senator Organa after order 66 and presumably still belongs to Senator Organa since he is being used by his adopted daughter Princess Leia.

As far as R2 saying he belonged to Obi Wan it's shown that R2 is capable of lying while conducting covert missions. This is why he is so valuable. Assumably, the easiest way for a droid to convince a stranger to bring it to the person it needs to go to is to say it's owned by that person. R2 doesn't immediately recognize Obi Wan because, really, would you?

So far there is no indication that the two have interacted since order This last point I have, honestly, doesn't prove anything but when Obi Wan first sees R2 he refers to him as "my little friend".

I like to think so. When it comes to c3p0, his memory was erased because, let's be honest, he's just not as coy as R2. Short of Obi Wan saying "My God! It's c3p0! I think we should remember that ANH was made first. It was the very first Star Wars film ever made. So the expanded stories that were used to make the later films weren't really fleshed out yet. Most likely, this detail was changed later to fit the story. It probably wasn't seen as too much of a problem in that you could make assumptions that he may just be lying to keep from spilling too much, but in reality it was just the way the story was originally intended.

Even within the first three movies the story was changed. It wasn't until they were writing the script for the Empire strikes back, did they add that Darth Vader was, in fact, Luke's father. That means that during the first movie, all actions within it, are based on Darth Vader not being Luke's father.

But changing that doesn't hurt the story because you can just assume he is lying. The bottom line is that you have to remember that the expanded story was evolving along with the movies. They didn't have a the complete Star Wars universe detailed before they started making these movies. Therefore, you are going to find minor inconsistencies. Maybe he knew everything was going to happen the way it was happening and believed Luke needed to think it was all random?

If he told Luke he let his aunt and uncle die so He would come with him Luke may have hated him. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
