10 Major Star Wars Characters Who Didn’t Really Do Anything

By Chris Peet /

1. C3-P0

€œMy name is C3-P0. Human-cyborg relations. I am fluent in over six million forms of communication€. Well, thanks for that Threepio. In case you hadn€™t noticed, however, it appears the entire Star Wars galaxy is fluent in every last sodding one of those methods of discourse which renders your existence totally irrelevant. Seriously though, the basically dopey Han Solo understood Greedo€™s jabbering perfectly well just before he blew his head off; R2-D2€™s morse code-esque form of conversation is bafflingly recognised by everyone he comes into contact with, and let€™s not forget Chewie: whenever he opens his gob, the exact same noise comes out every single time yet every character knows precisely what it is he€™s braying on about. So as well as being a terminally irritating, self-defeating conformist, C3-P0€™s general purpose is to provide a service that no one requires. Get in the bin, you gold-plated git.
