Classics Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO

Absolutely! I'm in my 40's, and was a young teen when Droids/Ewoks made it's debut in Fall 1985. It was nice that SW was still "alive" to some extent, even though the last film (ROTJ) had come out two years beforehand. Other than these cartoons & the two Ewok made-for-TV movies (1984 & 1985), there wasn't a lot of other new material coming out. (I remember talking to a friend several years later (a fellow SW fan) who claimed that, unfortunately, SW was 'dead' by the late '80's).

Those cartoons were also a nice complement to the 1985 "Power of the Force" toys that came out that year. There was an "Ewok Battle Wagon" toy that was also in one of the episodes, and the "A Wing Fighter" came out in "Droids" packaging, since it was both in ROTJ & Droids. There was also an interesting line of Droids & Ewoks figures.

 

My idea is we see Thall Joben, Jord Dusat and Kea Moll as Rebel couriers. They work as a speeder race team that works the race circuit to move information and material to route to the Alliance. You have those 3, the Sand Sloth freighter as their base, the White Witch race speeder, and use the Chopper concept art of a domed later C model (C2, C3??) astro droid with all original parts.

 

This would make for a great, great tie-in.

 

Here's a new article on Droids: http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/everything-youd-ever-want-to-know-about-star-wars-droids

 

This was posted elsewhere on the boards, but a cool thing that Droids fans will notice about this is the mention of Tammuz-an owning the original A-wing prototypes. I guess this means that Tammuz-an and their A-Wing fleet are now canon again!

 

She's already canon, because of that thing with Kes Dameron. Now we only need Latara to be canon! I know that somebody, somewhere, mentioned that she will be used in whatever media as a guerilla fighter type, but I can't remember...

 

The Pirates and the Prince arc got me started on SW. Good to a mention of that arc

 

That would not mean the whole squad is canon.

 

Just re-watched the Roon arc of Droids, because I needed to straighten out some details for a fanfic. I enjoyed it very much, the cautionary tale about greed is the sort that resonates with kids and adults alike. Not to mention that I find it superior to the other two arcs. Perhaps I need to re-watch those two, too.

Anyway, I came up with "Roon event horizon" when I first drafted some stuff in 2015. Now I see that it must've been my invention, as there's nothing in the cartoon that boldly suggests there being one. Am I thinking about some sort of a twilight zone here? O_O

 

We determined that the term was erroneously used elsewhere. But thanks, still.

 

Seems like there is a Droids cartoon reference in the new Smugglers Guide book. "Fromm" gang ?

So Han and Chewie did some work for the Fromm gang? That's some pretty cool new information! Thanks for sharing!

 

Ooo, me likey!

 

is there anywhere online that i can find a good, clean version of the DROIDS "In Trouble Again" theme? My mom loved that song and the only things i can find sound like they were recorded inside an old coffee can.

 

I so, so, so second your request.

 

I'm pretty sure the best quality youtube video of the intro sounds as good as it ever did from the available sources unfortunately.

 

I heard recently the the Fromms were mentioned in a canon source? Have any other things from Droids been made canon? Let's start a list.

 

have to say, R2/3PO, that group of droids in Siege of Mandalore arc, IG-11, K2-SO, D-Squad, etc, they make me wish there was a new Droids tv show. Could even be like 11 min stories too.

 

I’m not sure how long there has been official Droids art available from Star Wars Authentics, but I was pretty happy to discover it today! Some of these images I have never seen before.

Thought this was an interesting find and haven’t seen this R2-D2 & C-3PO appearance before

Like the old Droids cartoon and obscure EU lore

 

yah I saw a UK DisneyPlus post that says Droids in June. And here it says it's on Canada too June 4th Although sometimes different regions get different things due to rights issues but you'd figure Droids will land worldwide on DisneyPlus. I mean, I'm pretty sure nobody else owns it but Disney. Maybe they just didn't stick it with the vintage collection drop cuz it would have gotten lost/overshadowed the other content. Droids is good enough! And I'm pretty sure we're gonna get it. I'm in Trouble Again!

 

Checked this morning for Droids on Disney plus, and no luck. The link that the previous poster shared said that it was supposed to be added today in Canada. The wait continues.
