C-3po
Okay, not being all-knowledged in the SW universe, I turn to those of you who are. Or at least know far more than I.
In Episode I we are informed that Anakin built C-3PO. But how is this possible? C-3PO was built for languages and protocol. How could Anakin possibly have known these, having been a slave on Tatooine all his life? I sincerely doubt there were many visiting Ewoks... So are we to assume that C-3PO was reprogrammed or something later in his life and was just a... robot droid during his time with Anakin?

Well... let's think about this.
C3PO Claims to have been programmed for Etiquitte and Protocol. Yet Anakin, who Built C3PO, couldn't have known enough about Etiquitte and Protocol to come up with such programming. Therefore, it follows that Anakin didn't program C3PO. But who did? Well, Anakin built the droid out of spare parts - It's pretty clear that 3POs 'AA-1' Verbobrain came preprogrammed, and ready for installation in a droid. Likewise, his 'TranLang III Communicator module', which several sources inform us was the source of his fluency in millions of forms of communication, would have been ready to play when Anakin installed it.

Thanks for that extremely evidentiary explanation.
Note: this is what I mean about superior knowledge of the canon.

Yeah, well. If I didn't have the ability to devise extremely obvious-seeming answers off the cuff in response to questions, with an uncanny tendency of being right most of the time, I wouldn't be any good to anyone, now would I?

Further proof that enough technical terms and large words make your comments in life less subject to question.

A moot point, since everything I say should already be beyond question by definition.

Are you mocking my mock philosophy? *indignant sputter*

The Star Wars Databank for one. As well as various written sources which would be too much effort to track down and cite.
