some confusion by fans as to why Threepio acted as if he didn’t know who Leia was in the film, despite that being nearly impossible.
What’s this bit all about? I just remember Threepy saying ‘There will be no escape for the princess this time,’ clearly indicating he’s well aware of her and her exploits. When does he ever act unfamiliar with her?
“Who is she? She’s beautiful!”
“I’m afraid I’m not quite sure sir. I think she was a passenger on our last voyage, a person of some importance, I believe.”
EDIT: ugh, while I was checking to make sure I had the quotation right it looks like I was beaten to the punch.
