Star Wars: Droids (aka Star Wars: Droids - The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO) is a Canadian American Animated series that follows the Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO before the events of Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope. Thanks to the prequels the series has become non-canon.
Overview[]
Star Wars: Droids is stated as taking place before Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, and has since (as of Episode 3) become none canonical. The series follows the two droids, C-3PO and R2-D2, during the 'Rise of the Empire' era. The two droids serve a variety of masters during the series as they encounter some notable characters from 'Return of the Jedi' such as IG-88 and Boba Fett. The series ends before informing us how the two came to serve Captain Antilles but was successful enough to launch a comic book series that expanded on existing stories and added new ones.
