Why doesn t C-3PO remember Obi-Wan?

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.
