C-3PO (AU)

"Greetings, Jedi Masters, what brings you to this planet?"

- C-3PO to Mace Windu and Kit Fisto on their arrival

C-3PO, also called See Threepio, or Threepio for short, was a protocol droid built by local farmboy Annikin Starkiller.

Life
Threepio was built to help Annikin during his partnership with the Toydarian Watto. One day, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn came to Mos Espa to purchase a new hyperdrive for his ship. Threepio met all of Qui-Gon's companions, including an astromech droid named R2-D2. Annikin was interested in Jedi Arts and wanted to leave, but refused because he wanted to help his friends in town. His mother Shmi Starkiller told young Annikin to follow his dreams and that convinced Annikin to pack his bags and leave. However, the hyperdrive was not purchased yet because Qui-Gon and his party did not have any money. Annikin entered a podrace and won prize money worth a new hyperdrive. After the race Annikin left and was later killed by the Sith Lord Darth Maul along with Qui Gon, R2-D2, and the others. Threepio learned about the death of the young farmboy along with the other citizens of Mos Espa and a funeral was held.

Battle of Utapau
Thirteen years later in 19 BBY, Utapau was attacked by the Separatists. Threepio was held hostage along with the other citizens. He greeted Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Kit Fisto, who rid the planet of the Separatists.
