Currently moving. Living with a roommate whom I bicker with. Resistance X-wing. Imperial shuttle. A vacation somewhere warm. Time away from other people. New gadgets. Following orders. Being brave. Showing emotion.
Picking up on sarcasm. You're K-2SO! Take this quiz again! You're R2-D2! You're C-3PO! The battle droids made up the bulk of the Separatist army that fought the Republic in the Clone Wars. They were the constant cannon fodder used by Darth Sidious in his secret bid to take over the Republic.
They may not have been able to hit the broad side of a Super Destroyer, but without them, Palpatine would never have had the pawns he needed to build his Empire. And even though they kind of sucked, battle droids have a really cool design and they used some pretty boss war tech.
From the flying STAPs, to those sick tanks, to the rolling fortresses and personal carriers, the battle droids were certainly well-equipped losers. Roger, roger. The stormtroopers would have found R2 after slaughtering the Jawas and the Death Star would have taken out the Rebel Base on Yavin easy-peasy.
But thankfully, R5-D4 had a bad motivator and broke down just as Uncle Owen was ready to lay down his hard-earned space dollars on the little red and white astromech. R5-D4 may have been faulty or lazy , but his little droid nervous breakdown saved the galaxy.
The hell with Ultron, IG is an assassin droid to truly fear. All sharp edges and stabby bits, IG is made for killing. One memorable short story in the Tales of the Bounty Hunters anthology saw multiple copies of IG try to bring about a droid rebellion. One of the IGs even downloaded himself into the second Death Star right before it was destroyed by the Rebellion. That could have gone very badly for organics.
Beetee is equipped with rockets, blasters, explosives, and pretty much everything else you can think of. Triple Zero is C-3PO if he were keen on murdering humans and then draining them of blood to power his makeshift battle droid army which he planned to use to overthrow his Imperial masters. Chopper is just that darn special. This little astromech is like the pissed off old man of the Star Wars universe.
Chopper gets the job done every single time but grumbles the entire way there. This droid is one of the highlights of Star Wars Rebels and has helped his rag tag band of freedom fighters out of countless jams. Plus, Chopper is more than a bit homicidal, so he has that going for him. K-2SO is the droid that steals the show in Rogue One. K-2SO used to be an Imperial enforcer droid, but he was reprogrammed by the Rebellion and now is one of the most loyal Rebels in the galaxy.
And believe me, this tall drink of destruction sees plenty of action in Rogue One , as no Imperial is safe when K-2SO has blasters a blazing. But that is far from the case. BB-8 played an integral role in finding Luke Skywalker and helped make sure that Finn, Rey, and Poe survived each and every encounter with the First Order.
BB-8 is a unique astromech, a spherical droid that speaks to the wonder of physics. BB-8 brings any scene he is in to life because the little prop has charisma and character. BB-8 is way more than just adorableness with a circumference, he is now a major part of the story of a galaxy far, far away. There are few droids like L in the galaxy far, far away. During Solo: A Star Wars Story , she rallied other droids to break free from their oppressors and become the individuals they were always meant to be.
Indeed, L3 is more of a friend and romantic interest? She actually has! No other droid in the galaxy displays the same amount of individuality. C-3PO was at the center of just about every major Star Wars event.
He escaped with the plans to the original Death Star and accompanied his Rebel friends to the fully armed and operational battle station where the hapless droid witnessed the death of Obi-Wan Kenobi. He was on Endor when the Empire fell and, before his memory was wiped, he bravely served the Republic in the Clone Wars and was present when Anakin Skywalker began his dark transition to Darth Vader.
C-3PO is the sad clown of Star Wars — he is a polite, unassuming innocent that forever finds himself swept up into adventures beyond his comprehension. C-3PO just wants to serve in matters of protocol and linguistics, but he is constantly being swept away on epic missions to free the galaxy.
The all-purpose mechanic, adventurer, super computer, and rolling arsenal of Star Wars , and proof that judging something by its size you should not. R2-D2 defines the Star Wars universe. He is a piece of technology with a personality and a spirit of pure bravery. R2 is loyal to a fault to all his companions. Whether it be in the era of the Old Republic, the Empire era, or thirty years after the Battle of Endor, R2 will do anything to assure victory for the humans he serves.
R2 is so much more than a cold and emotionless machine. Just think, R2 shut down because he lost his master Luke Skywalker. Thanks to R2, Luke was found because R2 always gets the job done. R2 is a top notch co-pilot, an awesome little spy, and a spirited warrior. His friendship with his robotic life mate C-3PO is the stuff of galactic legend. Skip to main content area. U-3PO Yeah, U-3PO barely appeared in the original Star Wars , but this silver protocol droid needs to make this list because it is one of the first characters introduced in the entire Star Wars saga.
CZ-3 Look at this freaky looking thing. Join our mailing list Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox! Because of the high costs associated with comprehensive meddroids, some model lines such as the DD line or FX-7 models were not as sophisticated and were usually used as assistants. These medical assistant droids offered some independent functionality but were meant to be used in cooperation with dedicated medical droids, or with organic physicians.
An RX-Series pilot droid. Droids were also used in piloting roles, both directly and indirectly. Some were used for atmospheric flight, while others were used for interstellar navigation. Droids were well-suited for piloting roles for several reasons: they could be programmed with detailed schematics of a ship, they would not panic when under enemy fire, they could maintain tight formations and execute precision attack plans, and, because of their close integration with the ship's computers, they could monitor and repair damage to the ship far more effectively than a Human.
Because of their expendability, droid pilots did not require escape pods or other life support systems, saving cost and complexity on the ships they flew. A TC-series protocol droid. Droids that were used to handle diplomatic affairs, and aid in translation between various languages , were known as protocol droids. Like medical droids, protocol droids utilized massive databanks, being programmed with thousands of different languages and dialects.
Protocol droids were equipped with aural sensors, to receive audio information, and processing units, to analyze and apply necessary programming.
Because of their close integration with sentients, protocol droids were often given in-depth personality matrices, allowing for a variety of different personalities and behaviors through a process called metaprogramming.
Droids were used in exploration and scouting roles as well, providing a cheap yet effective mobile sensor platform. Probe droids , often launched by the thousands, would use a one-shot propulsion system to reach the targeted area. Upon arrival, these droids would analyze the area with their powerful sensor arrays; sending the results of the scan back to the droid's creator.
Droids of this type were used in many roles: military reconnaissance, deep space exploration, and mineral prospecting primarily in asteroid fields. Other models were atmospheric-bound, relying on repulsorlift technology to move rapidly and traverse height differentials. Most scout droids carried a similar core loadout—a multiple-spectrum photoreceptor, a magnetic imaging device, a thermal imager, and signals transmission equipment.
Some models featured built-in weaponry, such as a blaster , or expansion slots that could be used for a variety of additional sensors or weapons. Some droids also included a self-destruct mechanism to prevent acquisition by others. Because of their clearly defined role and the need to keep the cost per unit down, probe droids were given inexpensive processing units and relatively "dumb" A.
This resulted in a lack of flexibility and systemic errors when confronted with unknown circumstances not outlined in the computer's parameters. These drawbacks aside, probe droids were very effective in their native role: providing inexpensive but broad sensor capability, regardless of climate, radiation levels, or hostile presence.
A DUM-series pit droid. In addition to the primary roles outlined above, droids served in a myriad of other, more specialized functions:. Jawas often captured and sold droids that they found. Droids were typically treated as property. More advanced droids sometimes received proportionally more respect. Some protested the status of droids as slavery.
This was a contentious issue, owing in part to the difficulty of assessing levels of artificial intelligence , and determining which droids if any could be considered properly sentient.
Although emancipation of droids was a radical concept, some opposed memory wipes except for very simple droids. The Naboo considered higher level droids equal as fellow sentients. Under the Galactic Empire , no laws protected droids from abuse and those who showed them respect were looked upon as strange. During the Clone Wars , general dislike for the battle droids who made up the bulk of the enemy army was spoken of between clones and their generals, which would regular use such slang as "clankers" or "tinnies" to refer to them.
The father of modern droid language was widely held to be Yperio Baobab , whose Bab-Prime revolutionized robotic communication in BBY. The following is a brief chronological list of other droid languages, previous and subsequent. Bab-Prime was responsible, at least in part, for the droid tendency to develop a personality if not given frequent memory wipes. A hapless employee of the Baobab Merchant Fleet , in an attempt to create a new Bab-Prime algorithm, actually created a personality virus that ran rampant through the galaxy's droid population, exacerbating what was apparently an existing problem.
Since then, administering memory wipes to droids became commonplace. The word droid is derived from android , which means "man-like. Droid is the exclusive term for every robotic entity in Star Wars. The word "robot" is used only for primitive Pre-Republic era droids.
Droids' legal rights are often a fiercely debated topic among fans. In one television documentary, George Lucas said that C-3PO—and thus by extension all droids—had no soul. Early Star Wars Legends material sometimes spelled droid with an apostrophe 'droid , short for android. George Lucas holds a trademark on the term "droid.
Pixar Animation Studios ' film The Incredibles contains a reference to Lucasfilm's droid with the large weapon of destruction, the Omnidroid; an apparently unrelated killer droid of the same name also appears in Star Wars Galaxies. The credits of the film give a nod to Lucasfilm. From Mickey News 25 November : [1]. Verizon Wireless has licensed the term "Droid" for its line of smartphones based on the Android operating system.
Motorola's late Google Android-based cell phone is called the Droid , and this line of phone has been expanded to include other Android-based phones released under Verizon. The term is used under license from Lucasfilm.
