secondly, in Legends, R2 was given programming that actually restricted him. from sharing any information with Luke or Leia. about their parents or relation to one another. this was all part of the plan. to conceal this information from the twins.
C-3P0 didn't; his memory was wiped at the end of Revenge of the Sith to prevent him from spilling the beans. Why was Anakin always more attached to R2D2 even though he literally built C-3PO? R2-D2 was almost constantly around Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars, serving as his personal astromech.
Perhaps, Darth Vader just figures that this is another protocol droid and not C-3PO. Obviously, C-3PO does not recognize Vader because his memory was wiped at the end of Revenge of the Sith.
But to my knowledge there's no evidence at all that either of the droids ever met Darth Vader nor recognized him. At best, 3PO may have learned this later in life while serving Leia. R2D2 most likely learned it when Luke returned to Dagobah after rescuing Han. It's otherwise not touched upon in canon.
Although Lucas portrayed R2-D2 as a defiant droid who refused to listen to his master's orders, the theory video claims R2-D2 wouldn't stay with the ship because the last time he did that, Anakin never came back.
Why R2-D2 Never Told Luke that Darth Vader is Anakin - Star Wars Explained
Did R2-D2 know that Luke was Anakin's son?
R2-D2 was present when Padmé gave birth to Leia and Luke, so he knew Luke was Anakin's son – but what he didn't know was that Anakin became Darth Vader. In addition to that, Anakin's fall was surely a painful event in R2-D2's life, one that he definitely wouldn't like to remember or even talk about.
in the Dark Horse comic series star Wars Tales, which is now part of legends, it's revealed that Darth Vader did recognize C. 3PO on Cloud City. when 3PO was shot by Stormtroopers, his parts were brought before Vader. because the Imperials thought he could hold valuable.
However, one theory argues that Obi-Wan did recognize R2-D2, but he chose to pretend not to in order to avoid telling Luke the full truth. This would explain certain signs of familiarity between the Jedi and the droid and fit Obi-Wan's pattern of subtly lying to Luke.
You saw how Luke's attitude completely changed when he realised that was actually Yoda and so did Yoda's behaviour. As for the r2 thing, is incredibly likely he just suspected R2 had had his memory wiped several times since they last saw each other.
To answer the original question, I'm pretty sure that R2 never knew that Anakin became Vader. He wasn't there when Anakin was named Vader, he didn't know what happened on Mustafar. All he knew is that Anakin told R2 to stay with the ship, and that was the last time R2 saw Anakin.
She senses Anakin when she reaches out to the pilot — and Vader realizes that Ahsoka, his former Padawan, lives on. In Season 2, Episode 18, “Shroud of Darkness,” Ahsoka's guilt manifests as a vision of Anakin, who's angry with her for leaving him all those years ago.
Darth Vader can not use force lighting, because of his severed arms. Robotic hands can't summon the force lighting. However Darth Vader can still use other forms of the force, such as force choke.
Vader mocked Luke for his lack of training in lightsaber combat, and he easily pulled the lightsaber out of Luke's grasp through the Force. However, before Vader could strike the unarmed Luke down, he suddenly recognized Luke's lightsaber as his own former weapon.
Since Bail Organa had C-3PO's memory wiped previously in order to prevent him from spilling the secret of Leia's parentage, it could be that this was a semi-regular occurrence for the droid given he couldn't be trusted to keep quiet about things.
Absolutely not. Even high ranking Imperial officials like Tarkin had but a vague understanding that Vader was the last of the ancient Jedi religion, as stated on A New Hope. Maybe some members of Palpatine's inner circle and very few individuals knew the details. Also, Boba Fett had no reason to even care either way.
Darth Vader only learned he had a daughter in Return of the Jedi - but there's no evidence he realized she was Leia before his death and redemption. Darth Vader may have never known Princess Leia was his daughter in Star Wars and never cultivated a relationship with her, even when he was a Force ghost.
After making camp, the two encounter a strange alien creature, who is later revealed to be Yoda. As a test, Yoda deliberately acted looney and tried to get on Luke's nerves, rummaging through Luke's belongings and attacking R2-D2 with his walking stick.
However, while Yoda acts as though he had never met R2-D2 before, the Star Wars prequel trilogy, released decades later, revealed that Yoda was already well acquainted with the famous astromech droid.
Every time she speaks, he remembers Padmé. Fighting alongside Sabé reminds him of fighting alongside his wife. While that is certainly painful enough, it's also reminds Vader of the man he used to be, a past he had long ago attempted to kill and bury. However, the memory of Padmé via Sabé won't let his past stay there.
In The Phantom Menace, set 32 years before A New Hope, R2-D2 is portrayed as belonging to the Naboo defense forces, one of three astromech droids deployed for repair duty onboard Queen Padmé Amidala's (Natalie Portman) starship as it attempts to get past the Trade Federation blockade.
Shmi informs Qui-Gon that Anakin has no father, leading Qui-Gon to suggest that Anakin is a product of midi-chlorians (Force-imparting microorganisms). As the film progresses, Anakin leaves Tatooine to begin his Jedi training.
He states this with the line "I don't want the Emperor's prize damaged, so we will test it on Captain Solo." I would now add that he doesn't want Chewbacca killed either. If Solo is killed, Chewie is bait for Skywalker.
Why is C-3PO forbidden to translate the Sith-Runic language? Rather simple. All protocol droids have the ability to translate. But a Senate ruling put in a rule that required all translating droids to be forbidden to translate, and if such system is overridden, to erase the droid's memory.
