Guest PhantomMenace Posted October 18, 2001 Posted October 18, 2001 I watched ROTJ like 10 times...and i think i watched ESB like 2 or 3 tiems...but the first Star Wars i never really watched.. I do remember the ending when he swung with liea on that rope but that's about it...so i went out and bought the full box set and watched a new hope from start to finish, this time i was gonna analyze it with a fine tooth comb. I noticed that when Luke goes to Obi Wan's house for the first time, Obi Wan starts to talk to him about the old republic, the force and such... I then noticed that when luke asked Obi Wan about his father, Obi Wan had a strange look in his eye, then C-3P0 abruptly asked to be deactivated. Is there any reason why C-3P0 wanted to be shut off when Obi Wan began to talk about Luke's father or am i just reading into this?
Guest Lord Tirion Posted October 18, 2001 Posted October 18, 2001 Probably just reading into it because I dont think Lucas had any idea about the origins of C-3PO back then. It was also wierd that 3P0 said he didnt know anything about Tatooine when in fact thats where he was created. But good ol' Lucas can take advantage of that by saying his memory was wiped so we will have to see =)
Guest Olsmo Lahun Posted October 19, 2001 Posted October 19, 2001 it was probably an excuse to make obi stop talking
Guest Kudar Posted October 19, 2001 Posted October 19, 2001 Guess 3po just didn't want to hear about his past
Paragon_Leon Posted October 19, 2001 Posted October 19, 2001 I expect that not to be answered at all... it simply requires too much screentime to clear out. 3PO shutting down there just comes in handy for Lucas.
