Why no one tells C-3PO he is part of a secret plan

After watching Return of the Jedi on Spike, I noticed that C-3PO was completely left out of the loop on planning Han’s rescue, and I could only think that the reason was because he would completely bitch and complain about his role. This is supported by the following quotes:

“What could possibly have come over Master Luke? Is it something I did? He never expressed any unhappiness with my work. “ This shows his lack of knowledge. “..It sounds dangerous. “ This shows his fear of responsibility. “I have decided that we shall stay here. “ This shows his lack of ambition, and from the other’s stand point the inability to trust him on follow through. “I never knew I had it in me.” Shows that it is possible, and that C-3PO should try a little harder

No Droids Allowed

The piece below was selected to show how C-3PO would respond to persecution, and when one defends him.

Setting:Luke, C-3PO and R2-D2 walk into the Mos Eisley Cantina. The Bartender stops them.

“Oh, no, we’re not together.”

Bartender: Hey! We don’t serve their kind here!

Luke: What?

Bartender: Your droids. They’ll have to wait outside.

C-3PO and RD-D2 turn to leave.

Bartender: Oh, sorry, the short one can stay. Just not the shiny, prissy one.

Luke: I’m sorry?

Bartender: The effeminate one with the lisp. We don’t serve his kind here.

C-3PO: Apologies, sir, it’s a British accent. If it offends you, I can certainly…

Luke cuts him off.

Luke: What are you trying to say, buddy?

Bartender: I just think there are some cantinas on the west side that might be more his speed.

Luke: Oh, this is so Mos Eisley. You’ll tolerate a guy with a thousand eyes or a bulging phlegm sack, but the moment a robot wants to express his love with a robot of the same sex you freak out.

C-3PO: Excuse me, but I’m not gay.

Bartender: The droid chose an alternative lifestyle, he can choose an alternative establishment.

Luke: Wow, it is so not a choice. He didn’t ask to be programmed this way.

C-3PO: I’m not gay!

R2-D2 whistles and beeps.

Luke: What did he say?

C-3PO: Nothing!

R2-D2 projects a very explicit hologram of C-3PO and another robot. Everyone, Luke included, recoils in disgust.

C-3PO: I was in robot college. It was one time!

Bartender: I can’t believe you’re defending that.

Luke: That is a… perfectly natural… act of engineering between two consenting… You know what? We’re just going to find another cantina. Happy now?

C-3PO: You try telling the difference between a male and female moisture vaporator!

Luke leads the two droids out. The bar watches them go.

Han: Who the fuck were those guys?

Chewie shrugs.

How does C-3PO handle being famous?

How do you think C-3PO would deal with walking down the street now that he is one of the most famous robots in history? How do you think he would react to the crowd or the constant photographs, or constantly being asked where is R2-D2… ?

I think in the early stages of it he would not be sure what to do, and would have a small conniption fit similar to how he reacted to Jabba’s Palace in ROTJ. I later think he would get sick of all the fame over time, but being that he is an extremely polite droid, he would politely say hello to each person, while he kept moving trying to get the hell out of there.

C-3PO and Drunk Driving

What would C-3PO do, and or how do you suppose he would react to a drunk driving situation?

The scenario, Han Solo and Chewbacca have been saucing it up at the cantina and are now ready to blow out of there…

Do you think C-3PO would try and persuade Han from flying while intoxicated? Perhaps he would do so by explaining the odds of successful navigation through hyperspace, or perhaps explain the statistics of FWI deaths. I am sure Han would say “…Never tell me the odds!”

I imagine that after several attempts at trying to reason with Han, he would snidely bitch to R2-D2, “R2 are you sure this is a good idea?” and then throw his arms up and prance around saying his catch phrase We’re doomed!”

Here I found a Star Wars PSA ad on drunk driving, featuring C-3PO.

What Would C-3PO Do?

This is the first post on this new edition to the C-3PO fan club series. This blog will be a continuous account of random situations that one could place C-3PO in order to understand how he would react.  In all hopes this will be a series of humorous posts, also with an attempt to understand the philosophy and ideology of the great golden robot known as C-3PO.

If the Ewoks think he is some sort of deity, who are we to argue? There had to be some logical reason why they worshiped him. This is roughly discussed in the Wookieepedia Here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Golden_One

The Golden One was one of the many Ewok gods; it had long been prophesied that he would one day appear to the Ewoks in person.
When C-3PO and his companions with the Alliance to Restore the Republic arrived on Endor in 4 ABY, the Ewoks mistook the gold-plated protocol droid for the Golden One.
The Ewoks of Bright Tree Village, under the leadership of Logray and Chief Chirpa, almost roasted Han Solo, Chewbacca and Luke Skywalker at a banquet in C-3PO’s honor. Before the fires could be lit, Luke Skywalker used telekinesis to lift the droid into the air (supposedly as a divine power of the Golden One) to scare their captors. As a result, the Ewoks freed the Rebels.
Later that night, C-3PO recounted the Galactic Civil War for the Ewoks, and translated his companions’ pleas for help fighting the Galactic Empire. The Ewoks were convinced by Leia Organa’s plea to the Ewoks to join in the fight and defend their trees. The Rebels were adopted into the Ewok tribe, and won the Battle of Endor thanks to Ewok assistance.
