10 Best Droids In Star Wars
1. R2-D2
While there have been a lot of droids introduced in the Star Wars Universe over the years, few even come close to R2-D2. Alongside his closest friend C-3PO, R2 rolled onto theatre screens in the first moments of A New Hope. His cacophony of electronic beeps and boops immediately captured fans' hearts and imaginations.
The prequel movies turned R2 into an even bigger badass, giving him abilities like flight which had mysteriously disappeared by the time of the original trilogy. R2's loyalty to Anakin throughout the Clone Wars was unwavering. It's hard not to wonder if the droid ever found out his former master became Darth Vader and how he felt about it.
A legitimate war hero during the Clone Wars and the Rebellion, his role during the Resistance was scaled back dramatically in favor of BB-8. And while BB-8 is pretty cool, he's no R2-D2.
No droid can compare to this rude little R2 unit who was the main reason anyone's plans ever worked out. Without him, the Empire might never have fallen.
