R2-D2 and C-3P0
A Youtini Reading Guide
"Don't you call me a mindless philosopher you overweight glob of grease!"
Who would have thought that a foul-mouthed and mischievous astromech and a prim and proper translator droid would be the best of friends? Yeah, R2 and C-3P0 may squabble but they always have each other's backs. While they may not be on the front lines, they were instrumental in pulling off the most seemingly impossible assignments. Not to mention providing some of the best comic relief.
They have appeared in all 9 Saga films as well as Rogue One, Rebels, The Clone Wars, and we cant forget all of the novels and comics! Speaking of novels and comics, this list contains a handful of the dynamic duo's best appearances in the extended universe.
Stranded on a violent planet with a group of other random droids, we finally learn how C-3PO came to have his red arm in The Force Awakens.
While this might not be quite as action fueled as some other one-off comics, the plot is surprisingly deep. It discusses the idea of whether droids can form emotional connections and if they need their memories to be who they are, also bringing up how 3PO had his memories wiped at one point in time.
Volume 4 contains four short, but action filled stories that fit perfectly in with the cartoon series. Another Fine Mess, The Brink, Orders, and Descent are all unrelated in plot, however Descent and Orders are set around the time of the execution of order 66. Best of all, this set of stories will entertain all ages and is a must have for a collector.
This light read is a collection of short comics. Featuring Darth Maul's probe droids, R2-D2, and BB-8. Each of the three stories shares a bit of insight into a droids day-to-day life outside of battle.
It is worth mentioning that the story focusing on Maul's droid has been printed before in the Darth Maul miniseries.
This 6 issue collection of short stories starring R2-D2 and C-3PO set between episodes 3 and 4. Our robotic duo is under the employment of the Pitareeze family. During their servitude, their daily lives are constantly interrupted by unwelcome dangers from pirates, thieves, and assassins.
This cute compilation is perfect for young readers and collectors alike. There is also an introduction written by Anthony Daniels himself!
Told through the perspective of R2-D2 and C-3PO, this 4 issue collection is an enjoyable read for all ages.
After unlikely droid rebellion leader C-3PO takes down Olag Greck, he hopes for a peaceful holiday on an Ithorian herdship. Unfortunately the herdship is inhabited by slaves under the influence of a new herb that makes them completely complacent. To make matters worse, R2-D2 contracts a virus causing him to protect the enslaved inhabitants at all costs!
You know those novels your mom always had by her bedside, the ones with half-shirtless Fabio embracing a dainty lady in a thin gown? Well this is kind of like that, but Star Wars style. Han finds out that Leia has arrangements to marry another man for political reasons, but he’s not having it. His plan? Kidnap Leia so she can’t get married to anyone else. That’s romantic, right?
