Darth_Death Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 R2-D2 is the greatest droid ever and this is the thread to praise him... alll hail R2-D2 R2 kicking ass Astro Edit - Watch how you word your threads DD. I'll leave this thread open for discussion about peoples favorite droids from the films or EU, including R2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Yes, R2-D2 my be my one of my favourite characters. He is easily one of my favourite droids in the Star Wars Saga. R2-D2 does have some great screams in the trilogy. Go R2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Yes, R2-D2 my be my one of my favourite characters. But this doesn't really belong here. It's spam. Obi Wan, I'm going to have to give a friendly reminder not to moderate on our behalf. I personally would love to discuss R2 and astromechs R2 is definitely one of my fave characters EVAR. However, he does whine and scream like a wuss at times. R2 had some great screen time in ROTS, which was fun to see You watch R4, obi wans astromech, both in AOTC(whne he was only a head), and in ROTS(when he was completed). Getting shot at by Jango or even ripped apart by buzz droids didnt make him trill or whine as much as R2 would. My other fave astro droid is one from EU, called "Whistler" He belongs to Jedi Knight Corran Horn, and definitely has a great spirit like artoo does. Theres a really cool chapter of an EU novel entirely focuing on him carrying out a mission mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 ALL HAIL R2-D2, the best character in the history of anything! But if we're allowed commenting on non-movie droids... I have to mention HK-47 and T3-M4. I would be negligent as a KotOR fan if I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Terros Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I really liked I-Five from shadow hunter but yeah R2 is the best. And who doesnt love the little mouse droids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 shyte.... yeah, I forgot to include HK-47 That is one awesome bag o' bolts ! Speaking of kicka$$ droids, we cant leave out IG-88 and 4-LOM The Spider droids in Jabba's Palace were very interesting. Theyre actually powered by the brains of monks ! In EU, Bib Fortuna actually gets imprisoned in one by an unhappy Bounty Hunter... mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I really liked I-Five from shadow hunter but yeah R2 is the best. And who doesnt love the little mouse droids! I-Five...umm....I remember him. I personally don't like him. I just don't know why, but I don't like him. Yes, how could I forget IG-88 and 4-LOM. And possibly General Grievous.

Hallucination Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Personally, I think HK-47 is the best droid ever. He has a very good definition of love. But if it was from the movies, I have to say the Magna guards are cool, especially the one Obi-Wan takes on in ROTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Andrew Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 You just have to love R2. When he went through the Tantive IV corridor amid heavy blasterfire is a classic moment. I didn't like him quite as much in RotS's opening sequence, though; mostly because his antics took away the seriousness from the situation.

The Doctor Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 ^ That was the point - he was comic relief at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Andrew Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Meh, it was too much comic relief. Everything R2 did on the Invisible Hand was overdone, and the battle droids' new voices didn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineCult Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Meh, it was too much comic relief. Everything R2 did on the Invisible Hand was overdone, and the battle droids' new voices didn't help either. What other comic relief is there in the movie? They probably felt they should put it in because the rest of the film is so dark and tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Terros Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 and the battle droids' new voices didn't help either. Agreed there! what the hell was up with those voices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Andrew Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 What other comic relief is there in the movie? They probably felt they should put it in because the rest of the film is so dark and tragic.True, but why sacrifice one of the better sequences in the movie for some lame attempt at comedy? I think it would have done the movie better if jokes akin to the dialogue between C-3PO and R2 in the original trilogy were used instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinga1 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I used to like the battle droids, back in TPM when they had cool, not girly, voices. Super battle droids are a cool concept, but they always came off as pretty weak to me in AOTC and ROTS. I always was interested in the IG assassin droids, but there's not really a lot of material about them (Incidently, I thought the story where IG-88 becomes the Death Star central computer was horrible).

MachineCult Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Lets all just say that only the Droid technicians and workers have the stupid voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Death Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 I also like IG-72. I dont know why but i think he's just plain cool for a droid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachineCult Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Nice contribution there, venom. [/sARCASM] the HK47/50 droids are def. the coolest assassin droids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaV™ Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 The Magnaguard Droids are very neat, but R2 is great comic relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSR Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 sorry, its just that that's all they seem to say. [/sARCASM]. Still, HK takes the crwon. Although he's only in the KOTOR games, he can talk as well as being usefull. And an assasin. R2 can be useful, but can't really talk. C3-POcan talk, but is just iritating.

MasterRogue Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Whistler was a cool droid, but his buddy, Gate (Wedge's 'droid after Mynock got a mem wipe) is just as cool... i also admire the R2 units in the Jedi StealthXs....those droids put up with alot of work, as the StealthX is such a high mat. vehicle type. OH! for those whom dont know this, R2-D2, since he has NEVER had a mem wipe for as long as the series stands so far, has been in one X-Wing (Lukes obv.) for so long that the X-Wings computer has molded itself around R2's personality, and this makes it impossible for techs to work on Lukes ship without R2D2 there to translate for the computer.....thought that was a riot!

Lieutenant_kettch Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 talking specific droids? R2-D2 wins the gold, however, droids in general, mouse droids win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
