Star Wars Droids 1985 Title

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 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.

Theme[]

The intro music is 'In Trouble Again'. The song was written and performed by Stewart Copeland of The Police, a band popular in the 1980s.

Steppin' softly in a danger zone
No weapon in my hand
It's just this brain, designed by man
It's got me in trouble again
In trouble again
I put my life in jeopardy
In the service of my friends
I wouldn't care but it's a dangerous affair
'Cause I’m in trouble again, trouble again
In trouble, in trouble, in trouble
