I think it might be, there’s no way Anakin would be able to buy proprietary hardware or software. So either he stole it, which his mother probably would not have allowed. Or he was able to scrap all the parts together because there is a template for humanoid protocol droids that we have also seen round Star Wars. And then the software itself either Anakin programed entirely himself, (which I know he’s very smart, but even that seems a stretch) or he forked it. So it would make more sense that there was an open source catalog of protocol droid software. It also would make more sense due to the fact that a lot of people have droids, but they are not all created equal. I would think many of the droids on Coruscant were proprietary, while many of the droids in the outer rim are open source.

    Yeah he is a translator/protocol droid he isn’t the most useful in a crew who all speaks galactic basic and is running from blaster bolts. But he did everything he was supposed to do just fine. People just don’t care to see a droid plugged up to a moisture evaporator doing “nothing”

    He served as a translator when Padme was a senator

    People mention the ewoks

    He was a diplomat for the Jedi for a bit

    Believe he I infiltrated the first order as a spy or some shit as well…

    But one could argue Luke would be dead if C-3PO hadn’t told him R2 had taken off and subsequently followed him.
