![]() ![]() The official Lucasfilm word is that it's Rune Haako "for all intents and purposes", but many fans are unsatisfied with this decision, based on the fact that the character neither looks nor sounds anything like Rune, who is back to his old Episode I self by Episode III. Much confusion has surrounded whether Nute's companion should be considered Rune Haako, Gilramos Libkath, or Lott Dod. ![]() Unfortunately, a mix-up in the end credits not only erroneously lists Alan Ruscoe in the part, but also says the Neimoidian is Lott Dod (the Trade Federation Senator seen briefly in Episode I). Although the "new" Neimoidian had no official name during filming (the character was only referred to by the crew as "Nute's friend"), he was eventually named Gilramos Libkath, after costume supervisor Gillian Libbert and production controller Kathryn Farrar. The production crew gave uncredited actor David Healey the mask of Daultay Dofine instead. However, Rune's mask was lost shortly after the first film completed shooting. The Neimoidian seen with Nute Gunray on Geonosis was originally intended to be Rune Haako. This resembles the Empire trying to capture the hero (Luke), only for him to escape at the last moment. In the end, the Galactic Republic tries to capture the villain (Count Dooku), but he manages to escape. Anakin and Luke lose part of their right arms in duels with the villains at the movies' climaxes, and they are saved due to the intervention of a friend (Yoda and Leia). Both films have C-3PO being disassembled, and repaired again by R2-D2. In both movies, a Sith tries to lure a Jedi to the Dark Side, who responds by saying "I'll never join you" (Obi-Wan and Luke). In this film, it is Anakin and Padmé (Luke's parents) who come to Obi-wan's rescue. Han and Leia (Kylo Ren's parents) are captured, and Luke must rescue them. For the majority of both films, the three heroes are separated from each other: Obi-Wan (who trains Anakin) goes off on a mission by himself, just as Luke (who later trains Kylo Ren) goes off on his own to find Yoda. Empire began in a snowy wasteland, but ends at a city in the clouds. This film begins in a mile-high city but ends in a desert wasteland. Perhaps Owen had given his permission off-screen, before Shmi's funeral. Anakin gave 3PO to his mother when he left for the Jedi training, so it is no more than fair that Anakin receive the droid again after Shmi's death. However, C-3PO is Anakin's, as he is the droid's maker (3PO even identifies Anakin as such when they meet again). No explanation has yet been given, on the other hand, as to why Anakin simply walks off with the Lars' protocol droid without even asking. By that point, C-3PO had undergone a memory wipe, so he doesn't recognize Owen either (although R2-D2 presumably might). The metal plating covering C-3PO in Attack of the Clones was a rusty brown color, and not at all the shiny gold he sports in the later episodes, further obscuring his identity when he appears again, 22 years later. In addition, we see throughout the series that C-3PO follows a standard protocol droid design which seems to be quite common. Owen dies the next day, so this fact has no chance to come to light. ![]() In the narrative as to why Owen Lars didnt recognize C-3PO in Episode IV if he'd owned him previously, as in this film, If you look back at Episode IV, we will see that at no point does C-3PO give his number to Owen in the one and only conversation the pair ever have. ![]()
