C-3PO is way better than R2-D2

[Note: Please watch the video to the right when I mention it]I’m watching the video of Rosie from the Jetsons, and she looks suspiciously like R2-D2 with that zapper arm. Is my opponent saying that to zap people is bothersome, and therefore that R2 himself is an annoying hunk of junk? The video goes on to show George Jetson begrudgingly waking up and being forced to get ready for his day. We can infer that he would not have woken up on his own, and needed Rosie’s (analogous to C-3PO’s) help. It does not take long to realize how essential this is in Star Wars. Suppose the Rebels wanted to sleep in! That would not have been very good for them. We cannot deny that motherly figures, or “grandma” figures, have their place in the universe, even in war time.We can indeed say that C-3PO is a better droid by definition. Droids are divided into classes, based on their “creativity, intelligence, and capacity for independent thought” (Wookiepedia). Astromech droids, like R2-D2, are Class 2 droids. That is better than being Class 1, certainly, a step above calculators. Protocol droids, like C-3PO, however, are Class 3. These droids are “the most advanced droids ever invented.” As we know- since he loves to say it- C-3PO is fluent in over six million languages and has seemingly infinite knowledge of the galaxy’s cultures. Most people are not even learned enough to know two languages, let alone six million. Can I get a “BADASS” please? This trait also makes him (and other protocols) perfect ambassadorial assistants, another war-time essential. Who can forget how C-3PO managed to save Luke, Han, Chewie, and R2 from the Ewoks by pretending he was a god? That’s badass too. He told them he’d kill them! His knowledge of the Ewok language and culture saved Luke Skywalker from being roasted by fuzzballs, thus saving the Rebellion from certain destruction. Who would have fought Vader then? Jar-Jar Binks? I don’t think so.C-3PO is more badass than he gets credit for. He took a blast from a Stormtrooper in Cloud City for crying out loud. His body was blown into six pieces and he still managed to get on with his life after Chewie put him back together. We all can agree that when people lose limbs and keep pushing through life that they are pretty awesome. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you C-3PO, badass extraordinaire.Furthermore, 3PO has more of a capacity to be badass than R2 does. R2 may have a bug zapper arm, or a keen oil snot-rocket ability, but 3PO used a GUN in Episode II. We also see him in the above video in The Force Unleashed wielding a lightsaber. As someone who has played the game before, I have to say, seeing C-3PO kick the crap out of Stormtroopers is just about the most badass thing I have ever seen in my life, and I saw a guy eat a slug once. Imagine R2-D2 using a lightsaber. Looks pretty lame, doesn’t it? He wouldn't be able to move correctly.We all admire badassery, but consider this as well. Later on in Return of the Jedi we find 3PO telling an exhilarating tale of the heroic deeds of Luke Skywalker and the Rebellion, complete with sound effects! So not only is C-3PO a necessity in the war-room, he is an entertainer, a droid who will go on to be loved in times of peace and war alike. R2-D2 will fix some broken landspeeders, maybe.To summarize:1. R2 is apparently annoying for zapping people.2. C-3PO is like the bugle guy in the army who wakes you up in the morning. Essential for war.3. C-3PO will beat you in a language and culture contest.4. C-3PO can trick your foreign enemies into thinking you will kill them.5. C-3PO is an accomplished entertainer.6. C-3PO will take a bullet for you.7. C-3PO looks better with a lightsaber and will shoot you if you give him a gun.http://www.youtube.com...;
