    C-3PO was a parts kit. It wasn’t that Anakin designed his own brand new droid, he gathered enough parts from scrap yards to mash together his own based on schematics that would have been available to anyone who regularly works on droids. In our time it was about as impressive of a feat as building a bookshelf out of lumber you salvaged from a local dump pile. Impressive for a boy that age, but anyone with the time and tools could do it.

        Red neck rockets strapped to a chair that drift vs recycled multilingual protocol droid.

        Going to have to know information to make a determination.

      My fascination is with the derpy friendly nature of C3PO and him aiding in his own creators downbringing. The stark contrast between Vader and C3PO. One would not assume they were related. Im indifferent to Anakins tech skills.

        I guess the implication is that given it’s a kit build, anyone else building to such schematics would get a droid with the same derpy friendly nature since that’s presumably what it’s designed to be like.
