Star Wars Week: Thank the Maker

[cyberghostface]

One of the questions created by the prequels is how come Darth Vader never recognized C-3PO in the original trilogy if he was the one who created him? This comic answers that question.

This comes from Star Wars Tales #6.

Always liked this scene. It has resonance, even if some people feel it's unplaced. Though I prefer that this scene says Anakin and Vader are the same person, not some new personality made or anything that tries to act like they should be seen separate.

For the longest time I was confused as to why people on the internet called him C-3PO when his name was clearly D-3BO. And why are they calling C1-P8 "R2-D2"?

Turns out the dubbing in my country made the inexplicable decision to change the name of those characters.

Han was also renamed Ian and Leia was renamed Leila, but at least those changes were close enough even if completely unnecessary. But who the hell thought it was a good idea to change R2-D2 into C1-P8?

It also answers the plot hole as to how C-3PO ended up with Chewie in the first place.

I remember a version of this scene being in the prose novel, "The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader."

It's a little weird how technically smart baby Anakin sounds. But this is better than what we got in TPM.

So is this in between Chewie finding him on the conveyor and assembling him?
