Also Obi-Wan and Yoda both act like they don't know who R2-D2 is. In retrospect that is hilarious.

I had heard the theory as far back as the 90s (and probably before that, I was a kid) that the movies were supposed to be the stories of C3PO and R2D2. A retelling of events they were present for.

That tracks with what we ended up getting; those are the only two characters who appear in all 9 of the Saga films, and they are in Rogue One too.
