C-3PO

**C-3PO** was a
recreation of Anakin Skywalker after he was found in the dunes of Tatooine by
Anakin and a fellow slave friend. He later became in possession of Anakin's
wife, Padmé and then their children, Luke and Leia. C-3PO and R2 were the only
ones who knew Anakin and Padmé were married. His memory was wiped off again,
and C-3PO did not remember anything that happened in the past. He later came in
the possession of Luke Skywalker who got them from Jawa traders, who traded
with Owen Lars. He later remained faithful to the Skywalker siblings and was
also best friends with R2-D2.

C-3PO later reappeared in Episode VII, and is one
of the very few characters to appear in all seven *Star Wars films*. Threepio was portrayed by Anthony Daniels.
