I'm doing a watch/rewatch of Star Wars: the Clone Wars because I only watched like 2.5 seasons back when it was airing and I've got Disney+ back, so I might as well.

And I'm being reminded that poor C3PO is treated like this big glaring annoyance by literally everyone for no reason??? He's a protocol droid who keeps getting dragged onto battlegrounds and thrown into space fighter jets and held at gunpoint, and people keep telling him to shut up and pushing him around for talking about his function or being upset about having guns in his face?? He's so used to being bullied that the second anyone says anything halfway nice to him he's like a golden retriever who was told he was a good boy. Everyone stop being mean to Threepio he's a little dumb but he's good at what he's built for and he's doing his best at everything else he gets thrown into :'(

I want to give him a big party to plan, with lots of important picky people who all speak different languages and like different cultural foods. He deserves enrichment activities!
