=== Sequel trilogy ===
{{Main article|Star Wars sequel trilogy}}C-3PO appears in ''[[The Force Awakens]]'' (2015), the first installment of the sequel trilogy. He has a red left arm at one point, and is now fluent in seven million forms of communication. He is first seen with Leia and a [[Resistance (Star Wars)|Resistance]] team picking up Han, Chewbacca, [[Finn (Star Wars)|Finn]], [[Rey (Star Wars)|Rey]], and [[BB-8]] on the planet Takodana. During their adventures, C-3PO is reunited with R2-D2, who is reactivated after being shut off for years. In ''[[The Last Jedi]]'' (2017), C-3PO serves as an assistant to Leia and the Resistance pilot [[Poe Dameron]]. Daniels complained that his character was a "table decoration" in this film, and that C-3PO is "worth more than that".<ref>{{Cite web |date=25 November 2019 |title=Star Wars: Anthony Daniels Promises 'Weird Stuff' From C-3PO in the Rise of Skywalker |url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/star-wars-anthony-daniels-promises-weird-stuff-from-c-3po-in-the-rise-of-skywalker/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191128222144/https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/star-wars-anthony-daniels-promises-weird-stuff-from-c-3po-in-the-rise-of-skywalker/ |archive-date=28 November 2019 |access-date=30 November 2019 |website=[[Empire (magazine)|Empire]]}}</ref>

In ''[[The Rise of Skywalker]]'' (2019), the droid and his companions travel to Passana, where they search for a clue to the location of a Sith wayfinder. With the help of Lando, they locate the clue—a dagger with inscriptions in the Sith language. C-3PO is able to translate the runes, but his programming prevents him from sharing the translation with his friends. The group travels to [[Kijimi]], where a black-market droid-smith extracts the message from C-3PO, erasing his memory in the process. When C-3PO returns to the Resistance camp, R2-D2 is able to restore his memory.
