That's such a brilliantly obvious and logical idea,

Is it? From what I recall, C-3PO was built to help Shmi at home, not at the shop. And R2-D2 belonged to the Queen's Ship, where he was indeed useful. This is a perfect example of searching nits to pick. That's why his reviews are all BS.

How the hell was C3PO supposed to help a slave? She didn't exactly seem like she was in the line of work that would require a snooty robot that translates. C3PO would be more useful for somebody important, who goes across the stars speaking to creatures with bizarre languages, like pamadalan.

Have you even seen Star Wars? The versions I most remember involved C3PO whining and complaining every time anything happened. The only time he was ever useful was as a translator.

I think the only droid Shmi needed was a Gonk droid, because it looks like it can get the job done on those lonely nights.
