Fun facts: A fan favorite, AP-5’s voice performance by Stephen Stanton was inspired by fellow actor Alan Rickman. ĪP-5, an Imperial inventory droid who defected to the Rebellion in Star Wars Rebels, is memorable for both his grumpiness and his…singing. While he is mostly remembered for this brief bit of screen time and his action figure, Arfive’s story continued in “The Red One” from the anthology From a Certain Point of View, and can be seen in Peli Motto’s hangar in a few episodes of The Mandalorian. Speaking of astromech droids, R5-D4 helped bring C-3PO and R2-D2 together on Tatooine in Star Wars: A New Hope when his motivator blew outside the Lars homestead. R2-D2 is always there for his masters when they need a holo transmission, a map, or a lightsaber. Never has a beep or a boop had as much character or meaning as when it comes from the most famous astromech droid in Star Wars. R2-D2’s memory bank holds countless tales of heroics and tragedy from the Clone Wars, the Rebellion, and the Resistance. 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. If you’re a Star Wars fan, the chances you haven’t heard of C-3PO are approximately 3,720 to 1. As such, here are 20 of the most memorable droids in Star Wars. And since droids are so important to the galaxy far, far away, it’s always a good time to celebrate these versatile mechanical beings. 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. From Artoo to Kaytoo, these mechanical beings have played pivotal roles in galaxy-changing events.
