Burtt wrote the last story arc about the droids’ encounter with adventurer Mungo Baobab. One of the people at Lucasfilm who worked regularly on Droids was sound designer Ben Burtt. Some have been used almost literally, others have been used as a concept or are similar in design. Something you might not immediately realize is the fact that the show features several elements or designs which have also appeared in the prequels.
Still, the series looks like it’s a part of the Star Wars galaxy and from time to time it shows ships and vehicles from the movies ( Lambda-class shuttle, Bantha II Cargo Skiff, and TIE fighters) and even from Kenner’s vintage line of toys (probably to promote toys that didn’t sell very well). There is no sign of any of the other heroes from the movies. Our beloved droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, hook up with three different masters and they meet a lot of new friends and enemies during these adventures. Droids also aired in other countries, such as Spain and France, where it was very popular.ĭroids takes place 15 years before the Battle of Yavin. Droids was a typical US cartoon (though Nelvana itself was Canadian) from the mid-eighties, so it couldn’t show physical violence. The episodes aired during the Ewoks and Droids Adventure Hour, which also showed an episode of Nelvana’s other Star Wars cartoon: Ewoks. The cartoon was developed by Nelvana, but it only lasted one season (13 episodes) and one special (“The Great Heep”). Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO aired on ABC in the US in 19.
