A general discussion thread for ‘Star Wars: Droids - The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO’ - the 1985/86 animated tv series
a thread nobody wanted, a thread nobody asked for - yet here it is… 😉
The Premise:-
Droids follows the adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO as they face off against gangsters, criminals, pirates, bounty hunters, the Galactic Empire and other threats. During their adventures, the droids find themselves in the service of successive new masters and in difficult situations as a result.
The series was retroactively placed four years after Revenge of the Sith and fifteen years before the events of Star Wars (1977).
