C-3PO doesn't remember Obi-Wan because his memory was wiped at the end of Revenge of the Sith to protect Luke and Leia, while Obi-Wan didn't overtly acknowledge them in A New Hope because he never technically owned them (Anakin/Padmé did), was being secretive with Luke, and C-3PO looked different with new coverings, making recognition harder. Obi-Wan likely did recognize R2-D2 but played along, while R2-D2 kept secrets about their shared past, notes Reddit user r/StarWars_Fan_66 and Reddit user kyle404.
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.
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.
There's no visible level of recognition between them in ANH, but it's possible that Chewie either didn't recognize Obi-Wan becsuse he had aged so drastically in just a few decades, or they decided to not make any complicated explanations.
I genuinely believe ahsoka was one of yoda's favourite Jedi ever!!! : r/StarWars. Unofficial community for Star Wars, an American epic space opera franchise, created by George Lucas and centered around a film series that began with the eponymous 1977 movie.
Darth Vader acts like he doesn't even know C-3PO or R2D2. They were with him since he was a child. He did everything he could to forget his past. Also, his plating had been replaced many times, and protocol droids all look very similar.
Because of who his creator was there may have been conflict of interests. Because R2's not a snitch. Both droids did NOT witness the same crucial events , thats why . C-3PO is an accidental narc with no chill.
Droids aren't unique. One blue R2-D2 looks exactly the same as the several thousand other blue R2-D2s built by Industrial Automaton. Owen and Beru would have to check their serial numbers, and then that's assuming they even bothered to check their serial numbers when they first had them.
R 2D2 has never had a full memory wipe. That point often gets confused because of the end of Revent of the Sith but let's take a look at that clip. Captain Antilles, get your hearts. I'm placing these droids in your care.
C3PO had his memory wiped at the end of the PT so he didn't remember who Anakin was. R2D2 did know who Anakin was, but he didn't know that Anakin ever became Darth Vader.
C- 3PO was gold when the Jawas brought him to sell. Protocol droids were pretty common and C- 3PO had his mind wiped which is why he didn't even recognize Tatooine.
In the book, the two have an exchange that is clearly and unambiguously queer when Kaeden reveals she wants to kiss Ahsoka. The passage reads: "'I could kiss you. ' Ahsoka stopped in her tracks.
R2-D2 (Nicknamed 'Artoo' or 'Artooie') accompanied Ahsoka and Anakin on many missions. He often flew in battle with them in their starfighters.

Introduced in the 2003 video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, he is an extremely efficient assassin droid constructed by Revan to assist them in hunting Jedi, until both have their memories wiped and made to serve the Jedi themselves.
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.
