The mission to rescue C-3PO,^[11] also referred to as the rescue of C-3PO,^[12] was undertaken during the Galactic Civil War by the rebel astromech droid R2-D2 when he took a lone T-65B X-wing starfighter to rescue his friend, the protocol droid, C-3PO from the Galactic Empire.^[8]

Prelude[]

During the siege on Tureen VII, C-3PO was captured by SCAR Squadron.^[13] When Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, and R2-D2 returned to the rebel fleet, they decided not to attempt a rescue mission because SCAR Squadron was deemed too dangerous. However, R2-D2 disagreed^[source?] and decided to conduct a rescue mission of his own.^[10]
