I was rewatching the TPM review and saw this comment and was dumbfounded: "Hey, why not have Anakin build R2-D2, a mechanic droid that would be useful at, you know, a mechanic shop where he? works, and have C-3PO owned by Queen Amidala, you know, the queen who might need a protocol and translation droid."
That's such a brilliantly obvious and logical idea, it begs the question, was that posted by someone here? =P
