Ranking the Star Wars Movies by their C-3PO usage

I love how James will take any excuse to talk about Star Wars without having to talk about the entirety of Rise of Skywalker at all.

I love that Schaff refuses to rank these movies to the point where he will rank them based on anything else at all. Please rank every "I've got a bad feeling about this" from all movies

3:51 The confirmed ( according to my understanding ) dialogue in this scene between R2 and 3PO is actually really sad. R2 apparently tells 3PO that Anakin “Doesn’t really talk to me anymore.”, and that “I don’t know what’s going on with him.” I think it’s pretty depressing that Anakin stopped treating R2 like his best buddy around this point, adds to his fall even more for me.

I actually cried a lot during the scene in The Rise of Skywalker when C-3PO said "Taking one last look, sir... at my friends..." because I genuinely thought that his sacrifice was gonna stay and he wasn't gonna get his memories back AT ALL. MY TEARS DIDN'T MATTER I SPENT DROPS ON THE RISE OF SKYWALKER FOR NOTHING

I love that Anakin and Padme exchange funny droids instead of rings. Peak spacification.

No Joke: Anthony Daniels tried to pitch ideas to George for heroic 3PO moments and George tells him "He's Always Scared." everytime.

Suggestions for random Star Wars rankings: 1. How good the lightsaber fights are 2. The use of the force 3. Costume design 4. SFX (including practical and digital) 5. The use of the Wilhelm scream 6. The use of “I don’t have a good feeling about this” 7. Worldbuilding 8. The number and variety of alien species 9. Scene transitions

That being said, I think the gag of 3PO interrupting a Han Solo and Leia Reunion might be the PERFECT joke in the whole Sequel and Prequel trilogy. The idea that you've waited decades to see Han and Leia together and C-3PO interrupting like he does the entire Empires Strikes Back is honestly amazing.

A detail in Star Wars I love is that Anakin and Padme traded droids as wedding gifts. Anakin got R2, Padme got 3PO

Gotta love how you just outright refuse to rank the movies so you do random shit like this. Please continue, I want to see how long this goes.

If C-3PO is a brother to Luke and Leia, does that mean he’s the last remaining sibling now. He outlived the younger ones he’s proven his dominance. He shall now inherit the true Skywalker Legacy!

On the topic of Luke and C3PO being brothers: consider the Darksaber. -Pre Vizla starts as the rightful owner. -Maul defeats Pre Vizla in single combat, after issuing a direct challenge. He is now the owner of the Darksaber -Later in that very same episode, Maul encounters and is handily defeated by Palpatine, making Palpatine the rightful owner. -Palpatine is killed by Vader on the Death Star, making Vader briefly the rightful owner before he passes away -It can be argued that the Darksaber should then be passed to his heir, but Luke and Leia eventually both die, leaving one more descendant -C3PO has a rightful claim to the Darksaber and the Throne of Mandalore. -You can also say that Palpatine wouldn't be able to claim it, because he didn't actually kill Maul, but in that case it then goes to Obi Wan when he kills Maul in their final duel on Tatooine, and then still ends up going to Vader when he kills Obi Wan on the Death Star -"Ummm, achktually, it doesn't follow elder wand rules that's not how it works" shut the hell up, I'm having fun.

Schaff is just making the most random videos at the moment and I couldn’t be happier

I like the idea that James will rank the 9 main Star Wars movies on everything except the actual movies, I can’t wait for the ranking based on the meme lines like “Somehow Palpatine returned.” and “I don’t like sand.”

I’ve always considered C3PO to be Luke and Leia’s brother. He’s integral to their entire life story, so adding that link makes the story of the family feel stronger.

Luke was supposed to completely ignore 3po in The Last Jedi but Mark Hamill said he needed to ATLEAST acknowledge him. Once again the actors understanding these characters more than the writers and directors.

Rise of Skywalker not being in the bottom 3 of any ranking video is something I never would’ve imagined

The ranking we didn’t ask for - but always needed

It's actually kinda sad that'd the friends he'd take his last look at are the friends he had known for the least amount of time. Makes it more sad when everyone considers him annoying while he considers them friends. Poor C-3PO someone give him a decent friend and hug after the original trilogy.

fun fact about C3PO in RotS: in the novelization, when Anakin after his fall goes to talk to Padme something about him triggers 3PO's threat detection sensors! Out of all of Anakin's loved ones he was the first to know that something fucky was up. (also in the PM novelization its revealed that 3PO has 3 in his name because he's the third person in Anakin's family and something about that makes me want to cry-)
