- 27Google certainly thinks its "C-3PO" (O for Orange, not 0 for the balance of my bank account).TZHX– TZHX2015-04-17 18:49:10 +00:00Commented Apr 17, 2015 at 18:49
- 15It always bothered me that they were 4 character serial numbers. That doesn't add up to very many unique droid names.Sobrique– Sobrique2015-04-17 19:56:33 +00:00Commented Apr 17, 2015 at 19:56
- 20@Sobrique I always assumed (for my own sanity) that they were the head or tail of a longer serial code. Much like git tags are frequently reduced to only a few characters instead of the full hash.agweber– agweber2015-04-17 20:08:29 +00:00Commented Apr 17, 2015 at 20:08
- 11@Sobrique actually, it's a five digit serial number. The dash itself is a character. Notice C-3PO vs. R2-D2, the dash is in a different place. And some types of droids had much longer names/codes.Omegacron– Omegacron2015-04-17 20:18:06 +00:00Commented Apr 17, 2015 at 20:18
- 3@fluffy thanks, but the only place I want to see The Phantom Menace is in the stomach of a Sarlacc Beast.smci– smci2015-04-18 20:04:38 +00:00Commented Apr 18, 2015 at 20:04

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
