*A fussy and often worried protocol droid, C-3PO was built from discarded scrap and salvage by a nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker. Unfortunately for the embarrassed droid, though, it was several years before he received his outer casing. Elated to finally hide his "nakedness," C-3PO's droid coverings provided a protective shell around his once-exposed internal parts and wiring. Although left on Tatooine with Anakin's mother, Shmi, when Anakin began his Jedi training, C-3PO was destined to cross paths with his creator years later. *Source: Back of card
