...when R2 pushes 3P0 off the barge & jumps also, he does this knowing that he is part of the team, that he depends on others, like they depend on him, he takes that leap knowing that he won't be left behind...
Which sadly highlights yet another problem with the PT droids....theres already an overall lack of cameraderie in the PT....that slightly cheesy team spirit... "friends fighting for eachother" kinda feel that the OT had in spades...but the droids get the worst treatment in this particular aspect of the PT.....they're literally treated like they're just talking appliances. Theres no care or concern from any of the living & breathing characters towards the droids. They're treated as if they were disposable by the characters, and they're treated like plot devices instead of characters by the writers.
