I don't like the Starfighter designs for the Prequels with their impossible droid slots,
Well, X-Wings are not particulary more designed for droids; You need to have a machine to put the astromech droids on the fighter anyway, as seen in SW 77. It's just that in the prequels they invented flying R2 units that are looking silly when they jump out of the ship.
