ben_danger said:getting rid of 3po would mean the throw away line "have the protocol droids mind wiped" would go too (please!) i do like the idea that r2 and 3po have probably been wandering around the tantive IV corridors endlessly for 20 years. so they just end up bitching at each other out of boredom eventually.
not sure if this is too personal ady, but where exactly are you from? i was pleasantly surprised that you had a midlands accent!
Let's not forget that the reason 3P0 and R2 have personalities is BECAUSE they've never had their minds wiped! To do so would turn them into Bender without his brain.
