Like all of us, C-3PO, one of the three iconic droids of the Star Wars universe – welcome BB-8 to C-3PO and R2-D2‘s side! – has a life story (one which now includes an explanation for that red arm he sports in The Force Awakens).
From his humble origins in a small backwater workshop at Tatooine where one Anakin Skywalker (SPOILER! aka Darth Vader) brought him to delightfully cantankerous life) through to being found by Luke and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the hands of scavenging Jawas on the same planet years later, and his epic role alongside Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and the others in defeating the Empire, right through to reappearance with Rey many years after that, C-3PO has been through an awful lot (and don’t think for a minute that he’s happy about it!)
Now Luc Bergeron aka Zapatou has brought C-3PO oft-commented upon life story – the comments mostly being made by the self-referential droid himself naturally – to life in a beautifully edited gathering together of iconic Star Wars moments, all set to the song “Mr Roboto” by Styx.
It’s a musical homage to the one of the most memorable, delightfully cantankerous droids in sci-fi history and it shines a whole new light on him while your earworm a Star Wars-worthy tune to hum all day.
May the Fourth Be With You, Mr Roboto!
