I don't know when you think GL is going to have time putting this into the script. I mean there are other important things going on then 3po's platting or r2's rockets be taken off.

all the other times people thought he should have used the rockets and didn't, did you ever stop to think maybe he just didn't have any rocket fuel left? DUH!!!!

That is very true, ObiAniFan happy

I know we are all wondering what will be happening along those lines, but I also wonder what they will be doing in the movie, what they will be involved in and how they will take part in the Anakin/Darth Vader.

I don't remember a SW movie where C3PO doesn't lose one part or another. I don't think when he gets his golden plating (in between movies?) they will forget his leg. He'll probably lose a leg and the replacement will be silver.

I think the droids will have their memorys wiped, c3po completly and a2d2 partualy.
He will retain knowledge of certain worlds but not people. remember when the two first arrived on tataween, 3po ask artoo why go off in that direction and after a few beeps he states what makes you think there are settlements over that way. It would imply he still retains map directions of the planet! And 3po will get glod plate to alter his apperance then given to captain antilles this will bring us up to EPIV.

Well, Lucas has confirmed that the droids are going to have a memory wipe, but I think that they will have more an expanded role than in AOTC.

Here's what I think about the memory wipes: the droids are witness to something horrific, traumatic (seeing someone die/killed -- by Anakin?). Some point after that, they get their memory wiped, but for a very practical reason -- because there neeeds to be a secret kept (where the twins are sent) but the dramatic subtext of this is that the droids will be spared the anguish of that traumatic memory, because it really @*!#s them up.

I think it might be a better set-up if 3PO is the one who gets wiped, and not R2. R2 has a solid head on his shoulders, can keep a secret, and deal with the trauma. 3PO would most certainly have a breakdown and would need the lobotmy to stop from coming apart at the joints as per usual.

Wow, thank you GS for making this an Official Thread happy

Interesting theory, Bart-O-Lounger happy

True. They didn't really have much to do with the storyline in AOTC as they did, in say the OT. They should have more of something in Episode III, maybe something to do with Anakin's Changing, the Death of Padme or something to do with the Jedi?

Don;t know if this has been speculated yet but I think Darth Vader wipes their memory, because they know that Anakin is Vader. I am not sure how, but they find out or witness it or something and Vader wipes their memory so that they can't tell anybody about it. Just a thought I had.

I belive the reason their memories are erased is so no one can get the info on the twins whereabouts or existance.

I think you are partially correct. R2 doesn't get his memory completely erased, since he knows where Obi-Wan lives, as well the fact we don't know what other data lives inside that cool droid.

C3PO obviously gets his memory completely wiped, since he seems to babble about anything and everything at the wrong times. wink

I also agree. I think either Obi Wan, Yoda, maybe Mace Windu at his last or even Padmé will wipe R2-D2's to keep the Twins safe, and possibly even Obi Wan.

Now C3-PO on the other hand, probably has his erased completely, just because he doesn't remember anything, as wstraka5 has pointed out. I guess he remembers R2, but I don't think that really has anything to do with his memory, does it?

I some how don't think that Yoda or Mace will do the wiping, though Yoda does seem to have "disagreements" with a certain blue droid. tongue

Seriously, I think it is more likely that Obi-Wan does the erasure, since it would be a sensible for him to program his location on Tatooine incase of Emergency.
