He’s an annoying twittering thwart to the story. He doesn’t even add much if anything. Horses for courses though I guess.
In my experience, 3PO is certainly not hated more than Jar Jar.

He’s not supposed to add to the story. He and R2 were meant to be our view of the events as they happened. Come on, dime. You’ve read the histories. You know this.

Agreed. I didn’t realize there was so much hate for the character before these recent posts from dime and Joey.
Have I posted about 3PO recently?
Yeah, when I said I liked him more than Jim fuckface Halpert
:lol:

All I said was 'you must really hate Jim Halpert.'

Hate is a strong word. Loathed is better.

How many 3PO cosplayers have you ever seen?

There’s an entire army of cosplayers for every character. Even Including the guy with the ice cream maker in empire. And he’s a blink and you miss it character.

No 3po though.

Maybe this is your time to shine LV. Kinda literally. Be a 3PO cosplayer.

drrrrrr People don't want to play 3PO because he's timid, weak, a punch line among iconic, strong characters.

Your basing his popularity on cosplay? How many fucking IG-88 cosplayers have you ever seen? How many 4-LOM’s? That’s ridiculous.

I just tried being a contrarian wanker for a minute to see what it’s like and I got shit for it.
Made me wonder why these clowns get away with it constantly.

And wonder why they bother and where they get the fuckin energy
