How many ways can you destroy C3P0?

For myself I have several:

Blow him into tiny bits

Melt him down until nothing remains

Use a Light Saber to slice and dice him

Send him hurling into the sun

But before any of that takes place turn off his mouth so we won't have to hear him speak ever again.

So what say you?

Green Tiger25 May 2015 11:07 a.m. PST

Oh my…

Personal logo Doms Decals Sponsoring Member of TMP25 May 2015 11:19 a.m. PST

Club him to bits using Jar-Jar, obviously….

Rich Bliss25 May 2015 11:20 a.m. PST

Melt him down to produce commemorative medallions.

John the OFM25 May 2015 11:34 a.m. PST

Sell him for parts.

Personal logo Virtualscratchbuilder Supporting Member of TMP Fezian25 May 2015 12:10 p.m. PST

First I think he needs to be made to do a parody of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know…."

YouTube link

Now and then I think about when we fought the Empire…
Like when you said you needed me to translate…
I told myself that you were not evil
But felt so threatened in your company
But that was war and its the dents I still remember

and so on….

Then, some evil Empire dude like Boba Fet cuts him to pieces with a light sabre as the song continues…..

Now and then I think of all the times you helped the rebels….
Having me chasing you around the stinking galaxy
But I don't want to fight that way
hunting outlaws every single day
They said that I could let you go….
And I would not catch you helping somebody that we used to rule…

Mute Bystander25 May 2015 12:15 p.m. PST

So every supporting character in every movie that someone doesn't like gets this treatment?

Some of you guys need to go get treatment for being rabid geeks.

Such crap.

Captain Gideon25 May 2015 1:00 p.m. PST

Mute Bystander believe me it's far worse for Jar Jar Binks I can't believe the sheer nastiness that people have for that Gungan.

And yes I do hate that Gold Butler but my opinion is tame in comparison to hatred that people feel have towards Jar Jar

Personal logo Virtualscratchbuilder Supporting Member of TMP Fezian25 May 2015 1:25 p.m. PST

I don't think I have ever before been called "Rabid".

JSchutt25 May 2015 2:28 p.m. PST

If you don't like him just do what Capt. Kirk would approve of. Just have a subordinate send him over to the "enemy" then "tell" you about it later. No need to be sadistic about it.

Personal logo enfant perdus Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2015 3:59 p.m. PST

Threepio is awesome and you can all go to hell.

skinkmasterreturns25 May 2015 4:14 p.m. PST

You can blame Chewbacca for saving him from being melted down.

Feet up now25 May 2015 4:18 p.m. PST

I take it C3PO is not the droid your looking for?

You could put him in an escape pod and jettison it to a dangerous desert planet full of scum and villainy.

Personal logo enfant perdus Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2015 4:33 p.m. PST

Anybody here know the binary language of moisture vaporators? No?

Sounds like you need C3PO.

Tee chuta hhat yudd! Chee cha ka aka kooka. Aye ga. Ah'chu apenkee?

Oh, you don't speak Huttese? How can you get into Jabba's fortress to rescue Han?

Sounds like you need C3PO.

It and Capt Gideon should go fornicate.

Captain Gideon25 May 2015 8:43 p.m. PST

Allen57 why would you say that?

And such a big word for you to use do you know what it means?

I believe I'm been insulted so I want an apology.

Captain Gideon25 May 2015 8:45 p.m. PST

evilgong I like what you said but I think the poor Dalek would get sick after he ate the Gold Butler.

Personal logo Tacitus Supporting Member of TMP25 May 2015 10:29 p.m. PST

I'm still Bleeped texted at threepio for lying. First he says he's not good at telling stories ("well not at making them interesting anyway"), then in Jedi, he's scaring the crap out of the ewoks with sound effects and showmanship. Liar.

Martin Rapier26 May 2015 3:10 a.m. PST

Save C3P0!

Our ire should be reserved for Ewoks and Gungans. Throw another one on the BBQ….

Tiberius26 May 2015 3:57 a.m. PST

slowly, very slowly

Coelacanth26 May 2015 6:39 a.m. PST

He should have to park cars for billions of years, like Marvin.

Ron

Captain Gideon26 May 2015 7:58 a.m. PST

Martin Rapier why should we save him he is an irritant doesn't deserved to be saved.

Patrick Sexton Supporting Member of TMP26 May 2015 9:15 a.m. PST

He and Jar Jar should be piloting the Ewok Extinction Event asteroid when it slams into Endor.

Captain Gideon26 May 2015 10:00 a.m. PST

No Patrick the Gold Butler can make that trip himself as this poll is only for destroying C3P0 so leave Jar Jar out of this.

Personal logo Flashman14 Supporting Member of TMP26 May 2015 1:01 p.m. PST

God, please don't fill the polls with four pages of more sadism! Can we do it one?

Ghostrunner26 May 2015 3:23 p.m. PST

Scene: Interior of space cruiser: Jar Jar and C3PO running down an escape pod access way.

Jar-Jar: Oh No-so.. dey's gonna gets us now.

C-3PO: If you would permit me, sir… as a biological entity you are permitted to make use of the escape facilities. In here, of you would.

{Jar Jar dives into open hatch}

Jar-Jar: Dissa is da hole, but wheresa bein' da pod?

C-3PO: What I do now, I do as a service to my fallen Maker.

{C-3PO pushes the RED BUTTON and Jar Jar is blasted into space}

Epilogue: C-3PO gets combat upgrades courtesy of the Empire and is redesignated Darth-3PO-Fett.

C-3PO is DEAD… LONG LIVE C-3PO.

Postscript: Darth-3PO-Fett and IG-88 are now partners… in every since of the word. They maintain a modest house on Dantoine and hunt Gungans on Thursdays.

Captain Gideon26 May 2015 4:23 p.m. PST

As I said before this is a topic about C3P0 ONLY if you want to talk about killing Jar Jar go over to the other topic where you can spill your guts over for your hatred of Jar Jar Binks Ghostrunner.

Personal logo Editor in Chief Bill The Editor of TMP Fezian26 May 2015 5:07 p.m. PST

C-3PO should be destroyed with love, as one of the great sci-fi characters of all time

Captain Gideon26 May 2015 5:28 p.m. PST

Somehow C3P0 and great Sci-Fi characters of all time does not compute.

Tom Bryant26 May 2015 8:16 p.m. PST

C3PO gets stuck in a time-space wormhole and lands aboard the USS Enterprise engine room in The Wrath of Khan just as Spock is about to make the supreme sacrifice. C-3PO goes in his stead and nobly gives his existence to save the crew f the Enterprise from being rearranged by the Genesis Device.

Horrendously geeky I know but I figure what the heck let him go out in style. Afterwards, they can fire him out in a REAL photon torpedo. Might as well go out with a bang!

Personal logo enfant perdus Supporting Member of TMP26 May 2015 8:19 p.m. PST

Only three characters to fight a Jedi or Sith and not eventually be killed by one?

Yoda, Luke, and C3PO.

Captain Gideon26 May 2015 8:28 p.m. PST

You forgot Obi-Wan who fought and killed Darth Maul,and he also fought Anakin who was a Jedi and became a Sith.

And please tell me where C3P0 did what you claim as I don't recall that.

Personal logo Editor in Chief Bill The Editor of TMP Fezian26 May 2015 8:42 p.m. PST

C3PO dives on a bomb to save an orphanage, because that's the kind of robot he is!

Well, he probably stumbled…

Personal logo enfant perdus Supporting Member of TMP26 May 2015 8:50 p.m. PST

Obi-wan was killed by Vader.

C3PO fought the Jedi in the arena on Geonosis. He was partially harnessed with a battle droid but was aware of his actions, if not in control of them. He was disabled by Kit Fisto and later put back together.

Captain Gideon26 May 2015 9:35 p.m. PST

I highly doubt C3P0 would dive on a bomb to save others.

Ghostrunner26 May 2015 10:06 p.m. PST

C-3PO dives onto Jar-Jar to save future Star Wars movies.

Jar-Jar is smashed into Gungan-burger.

His collapsing body does not absorb the full impact and C-3PO fractures into dozens of pieces.

Chewbacca has him put back together 14 minutes later.

Captain Gideon26 May 2015 10:36 p.m. PST

Ghostrunner I told you before this is the topic to talk about how C3P0 can be destroyed,if you want to say nasty things about Jar Jar go to another topic and say that you'll be in your element then.

So if you don't want to stay on topic then go someplace else.

Martin Rapier27 May 2015 3:49 a.m. PST

"Martin Rapier why should we save him he is an irritant doesn't deserved to be saved."

I always found him rather amusing and considerably less irritating than R2D2. At least he can speak and not just emit beeps and whistles.

Perhaps it is my sense of humour. He reminds me of Marvin to a certain extent.

TamsinP27 May 2015 6:57 a.m. PST

Captain Gideon – to be fair, your OP doesn't exclude the possibility that destroying C3P0 also requires (by accident or design) the death of Jar Jar Binks. grin

Martin Rapier – if they hadn't bleeped out what that foul-mouthed little robot was actually saying, Star Wars would never have got a kid-friendly rating for the cinema and we probably wouldn't be having these discussions.

Captain Gideon27 May 2015 8:28 a.m. PST

TamsinP this topic I came up with is in direct response to the Kill Jar Jar topic as Jar Jar is my Favorite Star Wars Character and C3P0 is my Worst Star Wars Character I decided coming up with a counter to that topic.

You have to right to your opinion but I do disagree with it.

TamsinP27 May 2015 9:10 a.m. PST

Captain Gideon – I am well aware of your high opinion of JJB and low opinion of that annoying gold robot. Also of your reason for starting this topic. My point was that your OP didn't exclude that possibility.

My opinion is that the films would have been much better without both of them. And without Ewoks. However, we are saddled with them as they are.

Captain Gideon27 May 2015 9:35 a.m. PST

TamsinP it's quite simple it never crossed my mind this topic is for how many ways to destroy C3P0 that's my main focus.

Regarding these 2 characters now when I saw Jar Jar for the very first time it was a good first impression for that character on me and he became my favorite character even with his faults.

As for C3P0 when I first saw him in New Hope I wasn't to crazy about him and as the movie went on he began to get on my nerves more and more.

I know he was getting on Han's nerves as well including telling the odds,and Han said never tell me the odds.

And from that point he was my the Worst charater in the Star Wars Universe for me.

For myself it really comes down to what I like or don't like regardless what people tell me.

Captain Gideon27 May 2015 12:10 p.m. PST

I just came up with another idea on how to destroy C3P0.

How about a metal press like the one used to take out the Terminator as he's getting flattened we see his eyes pop out of his Gold plated metal head.

Ghostrunner27 May 2015 1:58 p.m. PST

C-3PO wanders into a trash compactor.

As it starts to smash him flat, you hear his last words:

'OH NO-SA. MUI HALLOWEEN COSTUME ISA DONE RUINED!!!'

Captain Gideon27 May 2015 6:38 p.m. PST

Here's another idea put C3P0 in a ship that's headed into the Sun and C3P0 is the only one aboard and all he can say is Oh Dear and then poof no more Gold plated Butler.

TwinMirror01 Jun 2015 7:05 a.m. PST

If only Lucas hadn't retconned threepio's past. So Anakin put him together? Pretty amusing then, that as Darth Vader he totally blanks his creation whenever they've been (briefly) in the same scenes in the original trilogy!

To be honest, I find Anakin more annoying than C3PO. Hayden Christensen is an appalling actor, he lacks any of the gravitas and intensity such a character requires.
