A New Hope, by Hidetaka Tenjin.

“Various Star Wars iconography has been redesigned into a more Japanese style over the years, but personally I've always wondered what Star Wars: A New Hope would look like if it were reimagined as a Japanese period piece. With this idea in mind, I attempted to create a theatrical poster resembling that of an Akira Kurosawa jidaigeki film by referencing classic posters in order to capture the feel of that era.”

I feel like... a lot of people seem to forget how genuinley important C-3PO is to Anakin.

When Anakin first found C-3PO in a junk pile, he took him home and put him back together for the sake of helping his mother. He wanted to give Shmi a droid to help her around the house because her life as a slave was so difficult. He loved his mother so much that he gave her C-3PO.

When Anakin left to become a Jedi, Shmi never sold C-3PO. He was her only reminder of Anakin. And even when Shmi was sold to Cliegg, C-3PO came with. He was either sold alongside her or she insisted he be brought with. Shmi refused to part with C-3PO. She took him everywhere, he was Anakins gift to her.

When Anakin returned to Tattoine a decade later to find his mother, C-3PO was there. C-3PO had spent the last ten years with Shmi. Waiting with her, alongside her, every day, waiting for Anakin's return home. He had ten years worth of memories to share with Anakin. He was probably so eager to share them, and Anakin so eager to hear them.

When Anakin married Padmé, he couldn't give her a wedding band. He had none to give her anyway. Instead, he gave her C-3PO. He gave Padmé what he considered to be his most valuable possesion as a wedding gift. He gave Padmé the only physical memory of his mother he had- the droid he had put back together for her.

Sometimes I think about the fact that protocol droids can record and play back voice recordings. And the fact that Shmi probably talked about how much she missed Anakin to C-3PO, so very much. And sometimes I think to myself- what if C-3PO recorded Shmi's voice from some of those talks? What if, because of C-3PO, Anakin was able to hear his mothers voice again, even after her death?

I think about that a lot.
