C3PO

Protocol Droid from Star Wars.

Generally teamed with R2D2, C3PO is a golden humanoid robot with a tendency to not go five minutes without some body part falling off. And a tendency to twitter in an English twit's (Anthony Daniels') voice at great speed and high pitch. Sigh. Why the Ewoks took him for a god in 'Return of the Jedi' I'll never know. Still, it's got to be better than Lucas' idea of him talking in the drawl of a Texan car salesman... --TL
