(...) What I remember is that 3P0 and R2 developed their "personality quirks" because they didn't get regular memory wipes. But anyway, if 3P0 *did* get a memory wipe...how would he know, unless someone told him? It's entirely possible for both to (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) That depends. If you want to "juice up" the efficiency of turning food into energy, do you go to your doctor for a quick shot of mitochondria? No? If you want to be smarter, can you just put some neurons in a syringe and launch them into your (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Oh, come on! Calling it a piece of art sounds a lot like a smokescreen tactic intended to remove the film from discussions of quality. Even if it is "a piece of art," why can’t it also be considered a film, which it most certainly is? You are, (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Good post, Eric. I agree with almost everything you said. I think it's possible to over-analyze every movie. In lugnet.starwars, Eric Kingsley writes: <snip> (...) slap him at (...) Heh, yeah... we laugh about the Toschi Station line all the time. (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

While it is entirely possible that C3PO did indicate in one of the books that he'd never had his memory wiped, you've got to remember that Lucas is not bound by the books. Anyone that writes a Star Wars book is simply writing a modification to (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well, apparently, the entire "Droids" cartoon series, which purports to take place before Episode IV. Episode I makes it a little impossible. It does have the first mention of Pod Racing, though. And, if memory serves, Malastare. eric (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
