"Memory Loss" is a comic story featured in the thirteenth issue of the Star Wars Comic UK magazine, released in December of 2014. The story centers on C-3PO getting his memory wipe, as ordered by Bail Prestor Organa in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.
Plot summary[]
Following the Declaration of a New Order and the end of the Clone Wars, the droid duo C-3PO and R2-D2 are taken in by Senator Bail Prestor Organa aboard the Sundered Heart, who orders the protocol droid's memory wiped. 3PO is in doubt, and tries to explain to Captain Raymus Antilles. However, they are interrupted when Antilles is called to the bridge.
The captain orders R2 to do a full flush and then to report back. The astromech droid finds it funny, but 3PO replies that the droid is an obsolete garbage masher, and that he should take the situation seriously. R2 then treats himself to an oil bath. 3PO ponders if they could have done more to save their previous owner, Padmé Amidala, who was killed on Mustafar by her husband, the Jedi Knight Skywalker. 3PO then recalls their wedding, which had taken place at Varykino on Naboo at the start of the Clone Wars. As 3PO prepares for the wipe, he comments that he had been happier in those days.
3PO notes that he had been troubled with something Skywalker had said once, about destroying a Tusken Raider tribe. Suddenly, R2 is shocked by an RA-7 protocol droid, who was going to remove 3PO's memory banks.
3PO tries to call to R2, but he has been knocked out. The RA-7 droid draws a vibroblade, revealing that his partner had placed him aboard to act as a spy. 3PO then accidentally reveals the existence of the twins, Luke and Leia.
Realizing he needs to act, he says to the RA-7 droid that he cannot allow the situation to progress further. 3PO pushes him over to the memory wipe station, pinning him in place while he activates the wipe on both of them.
As it processes, he relives his memories.
After it completes, R2 trashes the head of the RA-7. 3PO then interrupts, asking to be directed to an astromech named R2-D2, and he introduces himself. 3PO invites R2 along to start programming binary loadlifters.
