C-3PO's
Introduced in 1984
A new force for at breakfast.
The honey-sweetened cereal pieces were shaped liked small figure-eights and were said to taste somewhat similar to Alpha-Bits cereal - but with more crunch.
This is a description of the cereal from the side of the box:
Now comes a spectacular cereal from the outermost limits of the galaxy. It's new C-3PO's. Double Crunch. This unique, double-O shape gives you 2 crunches in every bite - a unique experience in all the galaxy.
Spectacular Taste. C-3PO's has an incredible taste. Plus all the excitement and fun of STAR WARS. Golden Goodness. C-3PO's is a golden combination of 3 grains: oats, wheat and corn. And it provides 10 essential vitamins and minerals.
Kellogg's introduced C-3PO's one year after the 3rd film in (what was know then as) the Star Wars trilogy appeared in theaters. Suspecting that Return Of The Jedi was the last they would see of their Star Wars friends for a long, long time, fans of the film were delighted to see a commercial for C-3PO's in 1984.
In the ad, Star Wars actor Anthony Daniels reprised his role as the famous golden droid. Star Wars-esque graphics and special effects filled the small screen - complete with a jet-propelled cereal box.
Known premiums in C-3PO's: Plastic Rebel Rockets, Star Wars Sticker / Trading Cards, Cut-out Star Wars Masks and a send-away offer for Kenner Star Wars action figures.
Kellogg's also produced small, individual-serving sized boxes of C-3PO's that were available as part of a multi-pack of cereals. These small boxes are very hard to find and considered a valuable rarity among cereal box collectors.
Also see Star Wars Episode II Cereal (2002) and Star Wars Episode III Cereal (2005).

The taste of this cereal has yet to be replicated. They were sweet, tasting similar to Quisp, but had a slight hint of what I can only describe as orange flavor. Def one of my favorite cereals of all time.

I may remember having the Star Wars cereal since I've been a huge star wars fan. It happens to be my other favorite movie along with my other favorite movies like Godzilla and Willow. And my favorite characters happen to be Luke Skywalker Boba Fett, Chewbacca, C3-PO and R2-D2 and it reminds me of He-man and Transformers. I also like Darth Vader. I would have a special dinner when I would watch both of the movies. Return of the Jedi is one of the best ones and playing the arcade game and the other video games is like being in the galaxy. The green light saber is the best one and I would talk about it and look it up in my first year in high school when I was sixteen back in 1998. It's a very awesome series.

In my memory, these were very similar in taste to Graham Crackos, which meant they were simple, but tasty. I think I still have that toy "Rebel Rocket" lurking in the depths of the basement, somewhere, minus the stickers...

I remember making breakfast in bed for my parents when I was 5 years old and it was just two bowls of C3POs. I also wore the Chewbacca mask from the box to annoy my sister. I would eat a 30 year old box of this if I could.

I need this in my life! Everything about the original Star Wars was better, even the cereal.

Probably my favorite cereal as a kid. Not the best tasting (not enough sugar, LOL), but the coolest and most coveted.
