Full title: In Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002), C-3PO cries out: "Oh, my goodness! Shut me down! Machines making machines. How perverse!" This is a reference to the fact that in the SW universe, every single machine is handmade, and no automated assembly line exists which produces machines.

C3PO is an Orthodox Cathodist who doesn't believe that machines made by machines are droids. They are robots, yes, but not true droids.
