"Oh, nice to see a familiar face."
"E chu ta!"
"How rude!"
―C-3PO and E-3PO[6]

E-3PO[7] was a silver[6] 3PO-series protocol droid[2] with yellow photoreceptors who was present in Cloud City, a tibanna gas mining colony that floated in the Life Zone of the planet Bespin, shortly after the Battle of Hoth.[6] E-3PO was equipped with a TechSpan I module which allowed him to directly access Imperial networks.[5] After exiting a room of Imperial stormtroopers, he was greeted by a fellow 3PO unit known as C-3PO[6] but responded with a Huttese insult[2] and continued down the hallway. After calling the protocol droid rude, C-3PO heard an R2 series astromech droid inside the room that E-3PO had exited and, believing that it was his friend R2-D2, entered to investigate the sound. However, instead of finding R2, he was blasted to pieces by stormtroopers.[6]
