Ben, Anakin, Palpatine, Owen, Beru, and Yoda are really the only established characters who had any business being in the prequels the way they ended up being written.
That's exactly where I'm coming from on this, though! Now, I know it may not be the case
, but I believe that I can write a better PT than the Luca$h version. What I want from the PT is something which fits together stylistically with SW '77, has a good story with a few surprises and shows us the background of the SW '77 story and characters.

C3PO and R2D2 always seemed like like the little guys of the stories to me. They had obscure lives in the past, they had probably had their minds wiped multiple times, and they were easy to sympathize with in terms of the fact that they had no control over what they did.

That's exactly what makes them the perfect companions! We, like the droids, are not in control of the story that unfolds. We are observers. They are characters with which it is easy for us to identify and they provide a ready source of humour with which to leaven the drama and action around them. They are pivotal characters in SW '77 in terms of the structure and style and were included for very good reasons. This is what makes them, in my opinion, indispensable to a PT that is to have the same feel as SW '77.
