Okay so how can we off this Gold Butler?

For myself put him inside a spaceship and BLOW it into a million pieces,the less I see of this Gold Butler the better.

So anyone else?

Captain Gideon

Sysiphus10 Nov 2011 4:30 p.m. PST

Have him fall into a black hole.

Micman Supporting Member of TMP10 Nov 2011 4:30 p.m. PST

Melt him down for scrap. Just think of how much you could get if he really was gold. at $1750 an ounce. Pay for a lot of gaming goodies.


However if he could paint reasonably well I would have him paint my backlog and then start a painting service.

Fifty410 Nov 2011 4:39 p.m. PST

I like 3PO. He serves an actual purpose in the films. Unlike say, oh, Jar Jar.

PS Why didn't you post this to the Napoleonic Board? All the cool kids are doing it!

(I wracked up 2 more stifles today just for that!) ;-)

jpattern210 Nov 2011 4:57 p.m. PST

I like him, too. Don't be such a protocol droid hater.

Greg B10 Nov 2011 5:02 p.m. PST

I'm with you Captain – drop an asteroid on him.

Captain Gideon10 Nov 2011 5:05 p.m. PST

Fifty4 if it were'nt for JAR JAR BINKS the Naboo would've been overrun and wiped out by the Droids,Jar Jar got the Gungans to help the Naboo out.

Plus Jar Jar made me laugh which is what C3PO NEVER did except irratate me to no end.

What did C3PO ever do?

And jpattern2 I'm not a protocal droid hater I just hate that Gold Butler,who talks too much.

One other thing I did'nt post this on the Napoleonics board because it's NOT where it belongs,can you understand what I'm saying?

Uh…. C3PO got the Ewoks to help defeat the empire…..

Captain Gideon10 Nov 2011 5:25 p.m. PST

Sorry I forgot that totally slipped my mind since it was supposed to be the Wookiees who did the deed not a bunch of overgrown teddybears.

But they went with the furballs.

Meesa sorry.

Captain Gideon

NWMike10 Nov 2011 5:37 p.m. PST

Just convince Lucas to make him the center-piece of movie 7-9.

Dr Mathias Fezian10 Nov 2011 5:43 p.m. PST

Never cared much for C3PO as a kid, I actually kind of like the whiny shiny droid now. He might even be my favorite character.

John the OFM10 Nov 2011 6:27 p.m. PST

Buy his spare parts at Radio Shack.

C3PO – linchpin of the Star Wars films:

1. Episode 1 – kept young Anakin from Bleeped texting as a wee lad.

2. Episode 3 – keeps Padme alive long enough for her to give birth to Leia and Luke.

3. Episode 4 – saves Luke, Leia, Ben, Han, and Chewie by sending the Stormtroopers off on a false trail. (Luke, with the help of Han, later destroys the first Death Star)

4. Episode 5 – saves Lando Calrissian's life while strapped to Chewbacca's back (Lando Calrissian later destroys the second Death Star)

5. Episode 6 – convinces Ewok nation to ally with the Rebellion – the Ewoks are the absolute, definitive reason that the Emperor and the mighty Galactic Empire are destoryed.

Enough said.

TheCount10 Nov 2011 6:51 p.m. PST

Strap R2D2 to a very big stick, then give it to a pit Rancor. Throw C3PO into the pit, sit back and enjoy.

flooglestreet10 Nov 2011 7:20 p.m. PST

Hire an Artificial Intelligence Bounty can opener.

Wolfprophet10 Nov 2011 7:22 p.m. PST

I would keep him…for annoying as he is, having a universal translator is just too useful.

The Beast Rampant10 Nov 2011 7:32 p.m. PST

Original Trilogy, let it ride.

Prequels, break him down into a number of small parts, fire them from an orbital mass driver into Skywalker Ranch.

Wait, you say Skywalker Ranch isn't actually in any of the Star Wars movies? Well, it's not…YET.

Striker10 Nov 2011 8:17 p.m. PST

Okay so how can we off this Gold Butler?

Any way you can.

The G Dog Fezian10 Nov 2011 8:19 p.m. PST

Without him how will I ever program my moisture vaporators?

John Leahy Sponsoring Member of TMP10 Nov 2011 8:20 p.m. PST

Ahhhhhhhh……how we forget. 3PO convinces Luke and his uncle Owen to purchase R2D2 which starts Luke on his Journey which saves the Rebellion and destroys the Empire. No 3PO no Obi-wan and no Jedi.

Thanks,

John

Tom Bryant10 Nov 2011 8:54 p.m. PST

I kind of like 3PO. I've often wondered what would happen in a Star Trek TOS/ Star Wars crossover universe if McCoy got stcuk with the Gold Butler fro an hour. I'd bet he would never complain about Spock and his logic ever again!

vojvoda10 Nov 2011 9:39 p.m. PST

I always thought he was gay, I mean the funny walk, social mistakes, likes to take old baths, complains all the time, "Wait for me, wait for me", hangs around with little Ewok men. Yeap!

Stomp on him with an AT-AT.

Patrick R11 Nov 2011 3:32 a.m. PST

He's a bit annoying, but I can live with that.

Lee John Ayre11 Nov 2011 3:44 a.m. PST

He should be destroyed slowly :-)

infojunky11 Nov 2011 5:00 a.m. PST

There is nothing wrong C-3PO that a good memory wipre and replacement Personality chip wouldn't solve…

zippyfusenet11 Nov 2011 6:25 a.m. PST

With a sledge hammer. Charge all comers $.50 a pop and make a fortune.

parrskool11 Nov 2011 7:09 a.m. PST

How should he be destroyed ?
Slowly.

PapaSync11 Nov 2011 7:39 a.m. PST

"replacement Personality chip"

Just change his voice module. Something more along the lines of John Wayne or Sean Connery. Or maybe Pauly shore?

Oh Oh .. I got it ..Tommy Chong..

replacement Personality chip

Anyone else wondering what C3PO would be like with a Red Dwarf style 'Spare Head 3'?

Martin Rapier11 Nov 2011 9:30 a.m. PST

A rude head would be very funny. I like C3PO, at least he can speak, unlike the other one.

A dreadful fate for the Gungans would be highly in order though. Field test of Death Star 2 perhaps?

Captain Gideon11 Nov 2011 9:38 a.m. PST

Martin the other one that you're refering to would that be Jar Jar Binks?

If that's who you're talking about I must tell you that Jar Jar speaks very well at times,and I can understand him quite well.

Unlike the Gold Butler where he speaks and I can understand I'm sorry I can understand him.

Also I gather you don't like the Gungans as well,am I correct?

Captain Gideon

skippy000111 Nov 2011 9:38 a.m. PST

Be careful here-Protocol Droids have access to hidden files that contain the Terminator package download AND the insidious 'Darth Dexter' program. Since this post I saw him go into a housewares store and right now he's entering a gunshop….

John Jacobs11 Nov 2011 12:31 p.m. PST

I would rather watch a whole two hour movie of just 3PO than have to suffer through one minute of Jar Jar on screen.

Captain Gideon11 Nov 2011 4:43 p.m. PST

Kaladrax I would rather watch a whole two hour movie of JAR JAR BINKS than suffer though one minute of that GOLD BUTLER on screen.

Captain Gideon

Captain Gideon11 Nov 2011 10:34 p.m. PST

I just thought of the perfect way to destroy that GOLD BUTLER.

The Gold droid is in a spaceship and just when he thought he was safe the Space Battleship Yamato fires it's deadly Wave Motion Gun and the droid is all but a memory.

I should've thought of this sooner.

Captain Gideon

Captain Gideon12 Nov 2011 8:41 a.m. PST

Fifty4 C3PO – linchpin of the Star Wars films are'nt you forgetting someone?

To me if anyone is the Linchpin of the Star Wars films it really has got to be R2-D2,it was R2-D2 who saved more people than C3PO plus the fact that R2 remembers everything unlike the Gold Butler who had his mind wiped once.

It really does'nt matter what you say Fifty4 since nothing will ever change my mind about this droid.

Captain Gideon

Tom Bryant12 Nov 2011 6:11 p.m. PST

I like the "personality chip" idea. I say we use Oddball from Kelly's Heroes.

Greyalexis14 Nov 2011 8:19 p.m. PST

he did his job which is something george lucas had trouble doing.

Captain Gideon17 Nov 2011 11:33 a.m. PST

A friend last nite told me a very funny way.

Paint C3PO Green and put him in a woodchipper.

Captain Gideon

Captain Gideon27 Nov 2011 3:53 p.m. PST

Just thought of another idea.

Put 3so in a machine that makes a metal cube out of whatever metal item is placed in it.

Anymore good ideas?

Captain Gideon

infojunky28 Nov 2011 4:28 a.m. PST

There is nothing wrong with C-3po that a Personality module wouldn't fix. And maybe some new hand actuators, then we can put him to work somewhere in the bowls of the ship when we don't need him to talk.

I vote for the Tommy Chong chip too….

Captain Gideon30 Nov 2011 9:45 a.m. PST

infojunky that sounds interesting.

Captain Gideon

Captain Gideon11 Dec 2011 1:52 p.m. PST

I still think that the Star Wars Universe would be better off WITHOUT the Gold Butler IMHO.
