Filthy Jawa Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 So if I understand it, and you guys often show me that I don't, the droids belonged to Luke. Uncle Owen bought them, they naturally passed down to Luke when he died (although 3PO seemed to think they belonged to Luke from the get go).With Luke gone, they seemed to be in the custodianship of Leia - makes sense, she's Luke's next of kin so now that he's dead she would be their legal owner. So what happens if she dies in TROS (we sort of assume she does)? Do they become Kylo Ren's property? Maybe Leia wills all her possessions to her not-son Poe. But man, Kylo could contest that. This could be in the courts for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Actually, the Jawas illegally resold them. They belonged to the Alderranian royal family. If you want to add in the PT lineage and pretend they are a washer and dryer set you see how white trash the SKywalker family is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anakin created 3PO so he belonged to him. Padme used him but he sitll belonged to Anakin who was alive well after Threepio went into the service of Alderaan. Artoo belonged to Naboo but was serving under Padme who was an official of the government. I'd assume Artoo remained government property though. So the answer is Threepio is Leia's, they were battling it out in court over who inherited him from Anakin. Artoo still rightfully should belong to the government of Naboo.

Filthy Jawa Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Whoa that link is pretty good. The assumption that California statutes should be used to sort this out is a bit faulty, but I suppose it's as good as anything. I mean, most arguments we make assume transfer of property rights is at least somewhat analogous to laws we know here. The idea that they might both belong to Jabba or R2 to Naboo, I would think would be nullified by some intergalactic statute of limitations. It's quite debatable, but to me it boils down to the droids one way or another - through whatever combination of Anakin, Padme, or Luke - both currently belonging to Leia.

Filthy Jawa Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'm actually surprised that in that article they don't come to the conclusion that since Anakin was a slave, C3PO actually belongs to Watto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Wader Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Watto lost or sold off Shimi and Im guessing related property to that Hutt who sold off to the Lars...if Im remembering that sequence right. But basically Owen just bought back his own property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Darth Hunter Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 In the Clone Wars micro series Padme presented R2 to Anakin to use on his ship. Does this legally transfer ownership to him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Darth Hunter Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Well, Naboo did give the galaxy Palpatine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Jawa Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 I probably missed several threads about this back in the day, but did anyone ever posit the theory that Padme was working with Palpatine? They're from the same planet, she did most of the heavy lifting when it came to turning Anakin which basically brought down the whole Jedi order. It was her all along!!

Lord Darth Hunter Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Yes, it was her all along. She worked closely with Palpatine to turn Anakin and to throw everyone off the trail she used Jar Jar to help the plan proceed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zambingo Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Everything Padme worked for and admired was the exact opposite of what Anakin ends up doing. Its easy to be confused though because Padme just stands by Anakin whenever he says something very questionable or literally commits disgusting acts. Its not until Anakin hacks up all the Younglings does whatever spell Padme was under finally break. TBH, Im surprised no writer or whatever has suggested Anakin was mind tricking Padme all thru their relationship. Then again that would completely and utterly break the sagas plot that Anakin was actually a noble soul that made a very bad choice and spiraled into the insanity we see him spiral to. The Prequels really suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
