==Behind the scenes==
In the Italian translation of the original Star Wars trilogy all astromech droids are called "C1 units," translating the original English "overusage" of "R2 unit" for "astromech droid." R2-D2, who may be the most famous astromech droid of all, is called "C1-P8" in the Italian translation. Rumors are that, as the Italian pronunciation of "C1-P8" rhymes with the name of the comedian duo Gianni and Pinotto, which George Lucas seemed to like, it was Lucas himself who chose this translation, although it is probable that the resemblance with the names, especially "Pinotto," was made to parallel the resemblance of "Artoo" to "Arthur." Despite this, it is unknown how much influence this had in the naming of the "canonical" C1 series.
