Master Spiff Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 It was cool to see these two hanging out in that one room on Bespin. But why are they there? They looked great, but didn't seem to have a purpose. I slashed 'em up good. If it moves, kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LessThanJake Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Probably just for the hell of it. It put a smile on my face. Then I proceeded with a quick chop down the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darky Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Did you ever think that they might not be Threepio or Artoo? OK, bye bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Spiff Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 Hmmmm, didn't think of that. But, maybe those aren't stormtroopers either. Maybe they're stormpoopers. And it wasn't Luke, it was Fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt_Dancer Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Oh I took them to be different droids of the same make and model. His voice is different... I saw them as just another of the references to the movies that they threw in. The one I thought was kind of cheesy is when Lando said "hive of scum and villany." Thought it was too exact a verbal refference to be funny. If it is the gruesome twosome then maybe they're on loan to Lando. Luke certainly doesn't need droids on Yavin.

GreyJedi Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Isn't C3PO the droid who greets you on your first visit to Yavin to retrieve your saber? How could he be on Bespin as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBrother Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Well they're just protocol droids so maybe one or both of them isn't C3PO. However, on Bespin where it's an r2 and a protocol droid together and they argue (sort of).... I think we're meant to assume they're our old friends.

Master Spiff Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 This has always bothered me since TPM. Little Anakin supposedly assembles C3Po by hand. Why is it that he just happens to look and operate just like "other" C3PO-like droids. Wouldn't he be kind of a custom job? I'm starting to sound like one of those dorks that picks everything apart. I should shut up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it wasn't Luke, it was Fluke. lmao i dunno why, that just made me laugh lol. Anyway, i assumed that they were C3PO and R2-D2, but that protocol droid didn't exactly sound like him. Also, does anyone else like to slash up the black protocol droids throughout the game? You hit them once and they say "I'm doomed" haha. Then they blow up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Spiff Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 I had just turned on the dismemberment cheat after getting into the garbage smasher level. One of those black droids was standing in the corner just waiting to be disassembled. I cut him up into so many pieces. You gotta love these games!

Gager Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Not that this has much to do with the topic at hand, but in reply to Master Spiff's question about Anakin building C3PO: Maybe he had a manual or something? They sell car manuals at almost every parts store, so why couldn't Anakin have come across a C3PO manual? When somebody tells you that they built a car, you don't assume that it's some bold new design do you? No, most people commonly understand that when somebody builds a car, though it may have some custom things added, it's still going to be a copy of some other make and model. With that said (getting back on topic) I don't think that the two droids on Bespin were the real Slim Shady's. (Ehh, not to sound like on of those dorks you were talking about...)

CatholLynAyt Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 We're way off topic now, but what the heck: Anakin built C3PO as a standard protocol droid because those were the parts he had. He was owned by a junk dealer, remember. So he probably had some of the pieces for a protocol droid, including the CPU, and scavenged the rest from other junk in the shop or things he found in the neighborhood trash. That would explain the fluency in 6 million forms of communication: it came built in. Then again, maybe GL will have an explanation for C3PO's programming in AotC. I liked the R2-D2 and C3PO appearance in the game. It was a funny throwaway reference, like some of Lando's lines. And unlike most of you, I left them alone. I'm a good Jedi. No sense destroying functional droids just for laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 For those of you who dont know its something called an easter egg....the same kind of thing was put into Jedi Knight when you found max.

caelestis Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 as everyone probably noticed raven put in just about every star wars reference they could think of. and that happened to include c3po and r2d2. so yes, i am sure they were meant to be c3po and r2d2, although i cannot think of any logical reason they would be there, you would think raven would have put them both at the jedi academy, but whatever, it's still cool and i wouldnt really call them an easter egg considering they were in plain site and they were an obvious star wars reference, unlike max in jedi knight, which is an easter egg (although i dont remember where he was).

Schizophrenic Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Originally posted by caelestis you would think raven would have put them both at the jedi academy I've always believed that the 3PO at the beginning of Yavin Temple was THE Threepio (even if the voice sounded nothing like him), and that one of the R2's there (one R2 and two R5's in the hanger, one of each in the control room in the back) was THE Artoo. The 3PO and R2 on Bespin were just another set of droids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essobie Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Originally posted by darky Did you ever think that they might not be Threepio or Artoo? It's definately Threepio and Artoo, or my name isn't Essobie. Essobie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
