The most famous robots — R2-D2 (R2-D2) and C-Threepio (C-3PO) — could have been called A2 and C3, but then George Lucas decided to give the droids more "full" names. According to the director, their names are just a pleasant—sounding set of letters and numbers that does not mean anything and cannot be deciphered in any way. C. Threepio, a golden droid that looks like a human, was made by Lucas in the image of a robot from the 1927 science fiction film Metropolis.
