The phonetic names for "See-Threepio" and "Artoo-Detoo" make me think it's the novelization, which used the exact same phonetic names for them instead of C-3PO and R2-D2.

How could they get this so right and wrong at the same time?

montananightz t1_jbv4ibx wrote
Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio are how they're actually named in the script.
It does also say R2-D2 and C-3PO though. Both ways are story accurate.
They also abbreviate them frequently with just "Threepio" and "Artoo" being common.
IMHO, it kinda lends to the idea that they aren't just robots, but are sentient beings deserving of names

Yeah, caught me by surprise first time I saw it. It humanizes the droids to turn their numbers into proper nouns (which Kenobi promptly ruins by calling Leia's droid "Lola").
sade1212 t1_jbw600t wrote
"Lola" is LO-LA59. Obviously out-of-universe, the latter is reverse-derived from the former, but in-universe the idea is the nickname comes from the model number.
HashtagLawlAndOrder t1_jbxd4wp wrote
Right, and that's my point. According to the convention used for all other droids, she'd be Ello.
sade1212 t1_jbxh5ih wrote
C-3PO is usually "Threepio" not "See" or "See Three", though. Chopper in Rebels' model number is a real stretch (C1-10P). It's not a particularly rigid convention.
HashtagLawlAndOrder t1_jby3x6m wrote
Did... did you think my point was that it had to be the first few letters/digits?
It was Threepio (3PO) and not "Threepo," because every letter/number is fully pronounced. No droid in the EU broke that convention to my knowledge - their names were their alphanumeric designations, but written out as proper nouns to humanize them.
sade1212 t1_jby6ceb wrote
That doesn't cover Chopper, who is not "See One" or whatever, so even if the same convention was that rigidly copied it's not been in place for the last decade.
HashtagLawlAndOrder t1_jby6izc wrote
Could you explain to me how Rebels is the EU?
sade1212 t1_jbyiog2 wrote
>which Kenobi promptly ruins
If we're only considering the EU, Obi-Wan Kenobi isn't included so it doesn't ruin anything. If we're considering the new canon, Rebels did a similar thing nearly a decade before Kenobi.
Most importantly... Why would everyone in the whole Star Wars galaxy nickname their droids in any kind of consistent way anyway? What's the value in doing it the exact same way as it was done in the first movie every single time, besides sheer self-referential backpatting? It'd be ludicrous to suggest in-universe that, presented with "LO-LA59", anyone would go for "Ello Ellay Fivenine" or similar over "Lola".
HashtagLawlAndOrder t1_jbyrwsd wrote
The new material ruining things the EU established has been going on since, well, the EU was discarded in favor of new material.
As for "why would everyone...?", because they did. Decades of EU material followed the convention.
EDIT: Ah, I see you single downvoting everything I'm writing here. Petty of you, but let me do it right back.
sade1212 t1_jbz0z52 wrote
So you've now moved the goalposts from OWK back to any of the "new material" - does that include TCW too, a show with the exact same creator as Rebels? Are we going to go back over 15 years to the good old days when Star Wars wasn't ruined because it improbably had all characters follow one specific droid nicknaming convention, just for the sake of it?
This must be the absolute tiniest, silliest nitpick I've seen yet. It's also not even true - G0-T0 in KOTOR 2 is "Goto", not "Geeo Teeo" or whatever, the exact same pattern as "L0-LA" becoming "Lola". Did KOTOR 2 ruin the EU?

"MoVeD tHe GoAlPoStS"
Your lack of reading comprehension and penchant for arguing is not my problem.
Also, you're dishonest. G0-T0 created a false identity using a hologram, named Goto, and made everyone think the hologram was actually the head smuggler while G0-T0 was simply Goto's droid. That is why the name "Goto" was used. Like, you knew that, if you're citing KOTOR 2 (unless you never played it?).
sade1212 t1_jc059xz wrote
Yes, I played KOTOR 2, and as I recall Goto is still pronounced Goto even after you find out he's really a droid. Maybe I am misremembering, it's been a few years.
The goalpost move is when you went from "Kenobi ruined it" to "[anything that's not the old EU] ruined it". I don't know what you're hoping to achieve by quoting all the times you mentioned the EU after that.
Here: I'll concede that, every single droid in any Star Wars material released prior to 2014 did not receive a nickname of any form except the exact same one as R2 and 3PO (Goto doesn't count because he was trying to hide he was a droid, and RX-24/Rex doesn't count because he's from a theme park ride, and gonk/GNK and mouse/MSE don't count because they're clearly fairly clunkily reverse-engineered and are names for groups rather than individuals, and BLX-5/"Bollux" doesn't count because the Brain Daley Han Solo novels were written so early on and his model number was a later addition, and all the various droids who were given nicknames with no relation to their model numbers whatsoever like "Mynock"/"Jawaswag"/"Catch" don't count either because that's not quite the same thing - and "Mynock" becoming "Gate" instead of "Gee Eight" also doesn't count because, well, I know you said "fully pronounced" before but that's close enough, right) and that the subsequent deviation from this inexplicable but essential Star Wars tradition has made the franchise worse.
HashtagLawlAndOrder t1_jc0co46 wrote
Right - the character is introduced as "Goto" on deception, and the game doesn't change his name hours into the story over a technicality.
Also, no, since I was replying to a guy who admitted having read none of the EU. I pointed out the most recent example of it being ruined, without a pedantic breakdown of the EU and its subsequent scrubbing and replacement, because I wasn't yet talking to a pedant.
And thanks for the concession. I'll take your snark as a symptom of your poor social skills.
sade1212 t1_jc0eyqj wrote
We're arguing back on forth on the details of how Star Wars droid naming conventions have changed over time on reddit dot com, so I'm pretty sure that relative to normal, well-adjusted human beings, neither of us have any business claiming the high horse on social anything.
I'm unsure why you addressed GOTO for a second time - jokes aside I can see how the unique circumstances make it a bit of an edge case - but not any of the other examples I brought up in the last post. Or, again, why this extremely esoteric detail is a "ruination" of anything, or how it could even possibly make sense for no one in the entire Star Wars galaxy to ever happen to use a different method to come up with a designation-based droid nickname.

Honestly, I find it a bit of charming Star Wars history, the transcription of the alphanumeric names. While I find it a little grating in newer contexts, it reminds me of a better time. You know, before the special editions, before the prequels and before Disney. Star Wars felt different back then.
In any case, it's not really a serious quibble, by willingness to argue the point (and the severity with which I would do so) is in proportion to how hard the other side of the argument wants to engage. S'just a silly thing, and if you care enough to argue the point, we're already on the same side.
currentpattern t1_jbud1qy wrote
Seen that movie a thousand times but just now realized that Luke never slept on the night that R2 ran away. And how inevitable it was that the Imperials would track the droids to the sandcrawler, and then to the Lars homestead. Only surprised they didn't get there sooner.
Also, Obi-wan's comment that "we were made to think" the sand people did this. Seems doubtful that the empire would give a shit about disguising their slaughter as the act of sand people. How/why did the Imperials forge batha tracks?
Social_Philosophy t1_jbufbjw wrote
>Obi-wan's comment that "we were made to think" the sand people did this.
The man hid Darth Vader's kid with his closest living relatives. Just dumb luck that Vader never decided to visit his mother's grave or anything. Clever Obi-wan was not.

That's disingenuous. It's remembered fondly because the effects were revolutionary at the time and it made lasting changes in modern sci-fi films.
While yes, Empire is the best of the original trilogy, it wouldn't have been released at all if A New Hope had bombed at the box office.
ASK_IF_IM_PENGUIN t1_jbwne0w wrote
The effects are one of the bits which were revolutionary, but seriously go back and watch it with a critical eye.
Its not a good film. If anything its a forgettable chase film which, without Empire, would have been a footnote. I'm not being flippant. It's not good.

If you weren't trying to piss so many people off phrasing it how you did and were honest about its shortcomings you'd have gotten a much diff reaction here.
