Obi-Wan doesn't remember "owning" R2-D2 because, technically, he never did; the droid belonged to Anakin Skywalker, and later Bail Organa, so his line was a technically true, albeit misleading, statement to protect Luke and the truth about Anakin's past, though deeper canon reveals he did recognize R2 and shared a moment with him on the Falcon, calling him "old friend," confirming he remembered.
Anakin's decision not to wipe R2‐D2 balances operational pragmatism, personal attachment, and narrative necessity. The droid's retained memory preserves a trusted, highly capable asset and keeps open options (technical, tactical and emotional) that a full erase would sacrifice.
Because R2 and Yoda rarely crossed paths. At most R2 would remember Yoda but only as a Jedi master. To Yoda, on the other hand, R2 probably was a background droid.
Because they only met R2 for a few days and There's millions of r2 units. The bigger memory is going to be anakin and Padme there, not the random droid that can't even speak to them and probably wasn't just hanging around owen and beru imprinting on them.
IG-88 is a battered chrome war droid who has become a bounty hunter, and answered Darth Vader's call to capture the Millennium Falcon during the events surrounding the Battle of Hoth.
Absolutely. Growing up on Tatooine, Anakin Skywalker was already accustomed to grasping and understanding many different languages. Not to mention, he was a droid fanatic himself—being a great mechanic—and most likely knew the language of Artoo's “droid language” or picked up on it quite quickly.
Protocol droids were pretty common and C- 3PO had his mind wiped which is why he didn't even recognize Tatooine.
Fortunately, this mechanical amnesia was only temporary, as R2-D2 had backed up his friend's memories before C-3PO left. The protocol droid's memories were soon restored, and he celebrated with his friends after they returned from their hard-won victory at Exegol.
After Anakin's fall and defeat, R2 left Mustafar with Obi wan and Padme. Once Padme died, Bail Organa took R2 and gave him to Captain Antilles on the Tantive IV. From there he became Luke's and then Leia's. Anakin and Padme traded droids as if they were wedding rings.
At the end of Revenge of the Sith C3PO's memory is wiped to protect the twins. R2 retains memories but doesn't explicitly state the history he and Obi Wan has. C3PO is perplexed by the way R2 is acting while trying to get to Obi Wan in A New Hope because of the memory wipe.
R2 couldn't have had a memory wipe, because he told the whills about everything. He wouldn't have been able to if he had gotten his memory wiped.
R2 and C-3PO were best friends. The two of them had been on countless adventures together. Several of these adventures took place during the Clone Wars, in which both droids participated in. While they were usually on good terms, the two often got in small disagreements.
George Lucas didn't let Carrie Fisher wear a bra during the filming of the first Star Wars movie 🎥⭐️❤️ Carrie told, well into the new millennium, that she had asked Lucas why he couldn't put on a bra, and he replied that Leia didn't wear them.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's biological father, but there's a strong theory (especially in Star Wars Legends and early drafts) that his experiments with midi-chlorians to create life led the Force itself to create Anakin, the Chosen One, as a reaction, making Plagueis the "unintentional father" of the prophecy. In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.
Fun fact: Thrawn met Anakin on Battu during the clone wars, years later Thrawn and Vader went on a mission to Battu and just from observing Vader and seeing how he fought, felt, thought, everything. He found out that Vader was Anakin but kept the secret to himself.
Anakin said "stay with the ship" and he did. Even when everything inside him told him not to. He waited. And watched him leave.
Fox, also identified by his clone designation CT-0000/1010, was a loyal clone trooper who fought as a soldier in the Grand Army of the Republic throughout the length of the Clone Wars. By 19 BBY, he was serving as a Clone Sergeant in the 501st Legion on the Republic's capital, Coruscant.
Yes, R4-P17, the astromech droid assigned to Obi-Wan Kenobi, is canonically female and described as having "feminine programming" in the Star Wars universe, often operated by female droid technicians. She was a loyal companion who served with Obi-Wan during the Clone Wars, though she was famously destroyed by buzz droids during the Battle of Coruscant.
