In the power vacuum left by the fallen Empire, none other than Leia’s son Ben Solo — eventually known as Kylo Ren — would rise to power, guided by the hand of another Sith lord. C-3PO, ever on the side of good, would once again fly through the galaxy on the Millennium Falcon, helping the new Jedi prodigy Rey and her friends battle the Sith threat embodied by Kylo Ren’s First — and later Final — Order.
Though these last and ultimately successful attempts to overcome the vestiges of the Empire occurred in darker times than ever, C-3PO continued to be of service and even made a new friend, the spherical chatterbox BB-8 droid.
After some close calls with the First Order, C-3PO was instrumental in bringing about lasting peace for the galaxy, when he saved the day by translating some forbidden Sith text for Rey. Due to programming restrictions, he had to have his memory and personality temporarily wiped to do so — but luckily, his forever friend R2-D2 was waiting back at the Resistance base with a memory backup… and a hero’s welcome.
