[List of appearances]

C-3PO is Star Wars Minifigure released in 2000. It is based upon the protocal droid named "C-3P0". He was introduced in 2000 and has made ten appearances in sets so far. He is well known as a minifiure due to being released specially in 14 carrat gold.

Background

C-3PO was a nervous protocol droid built by Anakin Skywalker, and was a pivotal character in bringing down the Empire. His main companion was R2-D2. He was present in many missions of Anakin Skywalker after his mother's death on Tatooine, but was given to Padme as a gift. After Padme's death, however, the droid's memory was erased. He soon found himself in the care of Luke Skywalker, and was with him on many adventures being one of the few characters to appear in all six films.
