Maybe he was jealous so did it on purpose. 
Considering back in the days 3PO was serving alongside Padme maybe he became too emotionally attached to any princess / royalty nearby and became possessive, which seems to fit considering the Frostpacker’s behavior when it comes to Aiko.

I wouldn’t rule that out. Who knows what goes on in that dirty cybernetic head of his. Let’s not forget he was made by the wicked Anakin Skywalker.
You have a point there.
I would not get between those two.

You will need some context because it’s an old film… the woman is Cabiria, a innocent sex worker who all along the film has been cheated, abused and taken advantage of. The last straw, she sells her house to marry a man, they meet in the forest and he leads her by a cliff. Earlier in the film, her pimp did the same before running with all her savings. So she knows that this last man is gonna kill her for the money and begs him to end it all, but he just cowers, grabs the money and runs away.
So there she is, alone, moneyless, all her last hopes destroyed, and yet…
…life goes on, and here’s Giulietta Masina to look at you through the fourth wall.

Now, for the big guns…
“Johnny got his gun”, 1971
Context (and major spoilers): Johnny was hit by an artillery shell in WW1. He has no arms, no legs, no eardrums, no eyes, and no face. He doesn’t have a whole abdomen any more and his guts are permanently exposed. Doctors think he’s also brain dead, but he is not. Eventually he bonds with a nurse and she learns that he’s not shaking his head randomly, rather playing morse code: S-O-S-H-E-L-P-M-E.
He senses taps on his forehead and so can communicate. He ask to be put in a glass urn and run through the country as a freak carnival to show people what war did to him. But his condition prevents that.
Thus he changes course.
K-I-L-M-E-K-I-L-M-E-K-I-L-M-E-K-I-L-M-E-K-I-L-M-E-K-I-L-M-E-K-I-L-M-E-K-I-L-M-E-K-I-L-M-E-K-I-L-M-E
But the military are really interested to learn from him, his endurance, whether he will heal any further or not.
It’s not an easy film and the end is about as bleak as bleakness goes. He senses the warmth of the sun, the footsteps of people around him hitting his back through the floor and the bed, and the touch of hands and gaze and cloth as his wounds are dressed. But he wants to die and that inconveniences the military. He won’t even name himself.
And thus, he’s deprived, by military orders, of all stimulation and company, left alone in a dark room, and too weak to move his head.
