# A dead Jar Jar Binks, a dead Boba Fett, a dressed up Darth Vader and a flaming See-Threepio!
And just looking at wikipedia; it seems See-Threepio is now officialy C-3po, and Artoo-Detoo is also R2-D2

# I had an annual back in 1981
It refered to them as R2D2 (Artoo Deetoo) and C3PO (See Threepio). It's probably in my Mum's basement. I'll look for it next time I visit.

I think they were always letter/numbers like a model number.

# I reread the orgnal Star wars book last year when I was in hospital, it was in the little bookshelf library section they had on the ward,
It refered to the both as Artoo Deetoo and See Threepio....
I remember all the Star wars colectables I had and kept for years, It was alway promised they would be worth a fortune, but they never were, so one day the lot went into the dustbin to make space, then years later when they relesed Phantom menace, all the stuff I'd thrown into the bin was suddenly worth thousands! :-(

# Fantastic work!
It's quite good at the moment 2000AD. The current Ezquerra Strontium Dog run and an ongoing mega epic makes it feel just like old times.
