20 of the Star Wars Galaxy’s Greatest Droids

Whether they are your best buddy, healing you from a wampa attack, or a bounty hunter on your trail, droids have played important parts of nearly every Star Wars story. And since droids are so important to the galaxy far, far away, it’s always a good time to celebrate these versatile mechanical beings. As such, here are 20 of the most memorable droids in Star Wars.

1. C-3PO

If you’re a Star Wars fan, the chances you haven’t heard of C-3PO are approximately 3,720 to 1. His crewmates might be tempted to shut him up or shut him down from time to time, but Threepio’s protocol and translation skills come in handy more than some people may care to admit.

2. R2-D2

R2-D2’s memory bank holds countless tales

On the Comlink: What Do the Women of Star Wars Mean to You?

On the Comlink is a feature in which StarWars.com writers hop on a call (virtual or old fashioned) and discuss a specific Star Wars topic. In this installment to celebrate International Women’s Day, Kristin Baver, Kelly Knox, Swapna Krishna, Jennifer Landa, and Amy Richau talk about their favorite women of the galaxy in front of the camera and behind it, how Star Wars books have changed the way they see favorite heroes, and how representation has shifted the way the next generation understands a galaxy far, far away.

Kristin Baver: We’re here because it’s International Women’s Day, which is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. And there are so many cool women of the galaxy — both in Star Wars on screen, in the

It’s the Umbara arc, says James.

There are a lot of really great storylines in Star Wars: The Clone Wars: exploring the growth and adventures of Ahsoka Tano, discovering mysterious Force entities, and looking at the relationships between characters as the war devours the Jedi and
