C3PO by all means is actually trustworthy and discrete. Take for example when the Imperials attack, C3P0 remarks to R2: "There'll be no escape for the princess this time." So, he knows who she is, etc.
And when Luke asks who she is, he replies, "I think she was a passenger on our last voyage. A person of some importance, sir--I believe..."
He's programmed not reveal vital information. Why wouldn't he be the same any other time. This is an unfortunate, unwarranted and undeserved characteristic that's been attached to him.
And then Lucas' takes even further in ROTJ and the PT's.

All I know is I haven't seen the real prequels yet.

Good point though, the first of many mistakes of PT-like proportions.

Seriously, wouldn't it have been highly suspicious for the droids AND Chewbacca to show up on the same day or the next morning, and THEN Luke shows up.
I just try to imagine a more "believable" rescue. A more action/scifi adventurey rescue

Yeah - that's pretty bad, actually. Strangely, I never even noticed it before until now.

Gonk droids can be tortured to talk, and we see 3PO's willingness to surrender a time or two. It was just exposition to tell the kiddies: Remember Chewie and maybe Lando? Keep an eye open for them. Your daddy will nudge you when Lando raises his mask.

That's poor exposition. Maybe that was about the time Lucas started developing his dementia and loss of Star Wars memory which became so overwhelmingly apparent 15 years later when the PT created even more plot holes.

incon-sith-stancy number 1: The emporer's face. Did he get additional lightnining bolts to his face between ep III and V? And even more between ep V and IV? Maybe space travel agitates his wringkles.

I used to laugh at 3po. He was mildly funny - well, he was such a pussy so it was really difficult not to find him at least a little funny. But in the OT the humor was so much more subtle. I have chosen to block out most of the r2/3po scenes from the PT. I have actually blocked out most of the PT.
but no matter how hard I try - I cant seem to forget about jar jar binks...
which reminds me - you guys ever see that skit on MadTV where they spoof a GL interview? Kills me every time.
