    • Nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker made C-3PO from scrap parts collected in a junkyard to help his mother Shmi around their slave hovel in Mos Espa, Tatooine.
    • Having just met, C-3PO and R2-D2 work closely together to help perfect Anakin's Podracer which, in winning the Boonta Eve race, will earn Anakin's freedom.
    • C-3PO stays behind with Shmi when Anakin leaves for Tatooine with Padmé and Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn to begin his Jedi training. The protocol droid later went with Shmi to another home when she went to live with moisture farmer Cliegg Lars.
    • Anakin reunites with C-3PO only after tragedy strikes and he returns to Tatooine too late to find his mother kidnapped and killed by Tusken Raiders. At this point, C-3PO's exposed inner workings have finally been covered with a battered droid shell.
    • C-3PO accidentally became part of the Battle of Geonosis when his head was affixed on top of a battle droid's body after a mishap in the Geonosian droid factory.
    • R2-D2 and C-3PO witnessed the secret wedding between Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala on Naboo.
    • On a mission to the desolate ice world Orto Plutonia, the Jedi meet with Chieftain Thi-Sen and bring C-3PO with them to translate a dialogue between the Talz and the Pantorans, who both claim ownership of the planet.
    • In the middle of a routine shopping trip on Coruscant, C-3PO is abducted by the bounty hunter Cad Bane to retrieve valuable blueprints of the Senate building the protocol droid is carrying. Finding Threepio's brain devoid of such detail, Cad targeted R2-D2 next, where he found what he was looking for. The two droids were dumped back on the streets, their memories wiped of the incident.
    • Unlike R2-D2, Threepio's mind is wiped of all memories after the birth of Luke and Leia. Senator Bail Organa assigns C-3PO to duty aboard an Alderaanian diplomatic cruiser, serving under Captain Antilles.
    • During the time of the Galactic Civil War, the royal house of Alderaan became a secret supporter of the Rebel Alliance. C-3PO and R2-D2 narrowly avoid Darth Vader and his stormtroopers, fleeing the doomed diplomatic cruiser in an escape pod to the desert planet of Tatooine.
    • After Jawa traders take C-3PO and R2-D2 captive, they are soon sold to moisture farmer Owen Lars and his nephew Luke Skywalker.
    • C-3PO and R2-D2 are crucial in assisting Luke Skywalker's rescue mission to free Princess Leia from the heart of the Imperial space station, the Death Star. The droids stay in a control room, communicating vital information and Imperial troop movements to Luke via comlink.
