All the movie characters of 'Star Wars' have become household names and are loved equally by one and all—especially C-3PO, which is a protocol droid.
The main work of C-3PO is etiquette, customs, and translation when the team travels to a faraway planet. C-3PO stands for Cyborg 3 Protocol.
He is friends with the other robot R2-D2, an astromech droid. Anthony Daniels plays C-3PO and is inside the robot.
It isn’t a computer graphic, but an actual human enacts his part. R2D2 and C3PO are the only characters to have appeared in almost all 'Star Wars' movies. C-3PO has also appeared in the animated film, series, and comics.
