I don't think he's supposed to have designed it or anything. I think it's an existing model, and he just scrounged for scrap to put him together. It's basically the thing he's known for as a child. His pod racer seems a little more unbelievable, right?

    Not that he couldn't have put together a droid, but that he put this very specific, very integral-to-later-events one together himself. It's ludicrously coincidental.

    it’s very synchronous rather than causal. i don’t think the rhetoric and messaging of the original star wars was for you. if you’re familiar with the concepts and ideas that went into star wars in the first place then, at least imo, it’s a very natural plot turn that threepio was himself built by vader. yes, the story revolves around anakin in this grandiose and cosmic way. that’s a feature, not a bug.

    Hence why star wars is a chosen one, hero's quest, prophetised fantasy. Not a Sci fi.

    When you and your kin are all prophetised to do important shit, there is no coincidence. it's all part of a bigger divine plan of fate. Or it's the midi-chlorians or something I dunno, I slept through the prequels.
