Star Wars: A Droid Story -- R2D2 & C3PO Animated Series
R2D2 and C3PO are getting their own adventure on Disney+.
The streamer is developing A Droid Story featuring the duo. It will be an animated series produced by Lucasfilm Animation and ILM.
Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy said, “As we continue to develop new stories, the intersection of animation of visual effects, offers new opportunities for us to explore.”
“This epic journey will introduce is to new hero guided by our most iconic duo… on a secret mission known only to them. What could possibly go wrong?”

Eh.. this one I’m iffy on. They’re the kinds of characters that are better when featured together once in a while. Like for instance on The Clone Wars there are episodes where they’re the main focus. That works. Do we really need a full on series of the two though?

Maybe it’ll be a full remake of the old series?
But yeah, this kind of story is best in small doses.

Adding the tweet, it looks like Deadline reported wrong. Seems to be an animated feature, not a series. Others are saying series? A film seems like the better option.

If it’s a film then that’s different. Give R2 and 3PO an animated film that’s a bit over an hour and that would be fine. They don’t need a full series.

Meh on this.
The Droids stuff has always been lousy, whether it was the old cartoon, or the Dark Horse Comics series.
I'm surprised they would go back to this well...
