#N:inmet:8100004:000:743 inmet!porges Jun 24 12:26:00 1983 And yet another unanswered question..... Just how did the Ewok tribe come to have a god who looked like a golden robot? Unless, of course, C3PO and R2D2 have been to the forest moon before, during the first trilogy, before C3PO's memory banks got cleared somewhere in between (but probably not R2D2's). Yeah, a lot of hypothesizing. This is in the same class with Luke's feeling in ESB that Dagobah felt familiar...presumably he was taken there as a small child while OB-1 and Yoda plotted to hide him. And, I felt that Anakin, in a addition to ana-kin, has overtones of the Ankh, the Egyptian power symbol. -- Don Porges ...harpo!inmet!porges ...hplabs!sri-unix!cca!ima!inmet!porges ...yale-comix!ima!inmet!porges

It is as reasonable to ask how the Ewoks revered 3PO as it is to ask how the
ancient Mexican cultures revered White skinned beared people (which THEY had
never seen, but which allowed the Spanish to take over the whole area).
Nobody really knows.

It is no surprise that the EWOKs would have seen a C3PO model
robot before. C3PO and R2D2 are standard models of robots. There
is a R2D2 robot in every fighter in ANH. I belive we also see
another C3PO in TESB. Besides the EWOK's language had been
cataloged and was in C3PO's memory.

#R:inmet:8100004:ucbmonet:22600006:000:191 ucbmonet!arnold Jun 28 18:13:00 1983 The EWOKs have a god that looks like a golden robot for the same reason that the Aztecs (or was it the Mayans) had a god that looked like a white man in a sailing ship. Next question? Ken
