Black C-3PO

Found this on Funny or Die, thought I would share it with you.

During the re-release of the original Star Wars movies to Blu-Ray, George Lucas had been toying with the idea of having a “more modern, urban sounding” C-3PO. This was the result.

C-3PO & R2-D2 Shoes by Adidas

As you all probably are aware, Adidas put out a line of Star Wars oriented clothing and shoes… but they left out two key characters, those being C-3PO and C-3PO.

In an article found on shoepimps.com

After releasing something like 13 different sneakers together this year, you may have been wondering why George Lucas and his Star Wars brand failed to honor R2 D2 and C-3PO in their collection with adidas Originals. Having put together shoes for many of the staple characters, bots and ships part of the Star Wars empire, we were in question as to why there was nothing honoring the robotic friends. As it turns out they weren’t forgotten, they were just held over for the continuation of the Star Wars x adidas Originals set to launch in the coming months. To pay tribute to the two galactic buddies, adidas and Star Wars produced a Top Ten Low using a 50/50 split with representation of R2 D2 on the outer side of the upper and C-3PO on the inner side. Graphics of both characters are also split between the tongue tags. According to Freshness, the sneakers are set to launch sometime in September. What I really wanna though is, can I get an Ewok model next?

adidas Originals x Star Wars Fall/Winter 2010 Top Ten “R2-D2 + C-3PO”

_{06 August 2010, 17.32}

In my opinion it is upsetting that they put C-3PO and R2-D2 together, and R2 on the outside implying a higher level character… but hey thanks for thinking of us Droid Fans Adidas

What Would C-3PO Do?

A new blog added to the universe of C-3PO, titled “What Would C-3PO Do?”

The purpose of this blog is to set up some hypothetical situations, and place C-3PO in that situation, and to discuss how he would react in the given situation.

This blog has a good premise and is showing some promise, we will see where it goes from there. I am excited to see where it goes, and sheds some more of the spotlight on the golden protocol droid!
