It focuses on the exploits of R2-D2 and {{nowrap|C-3PO}} between the events depicted in Star Wars: Episode III and Episode IV – A New Hope. Over the course of the series, the droids team up with four different sets of masters. The series falls into three cycles or arcs: at the beginning of each, the droids usually run into their new masters in an accidental way, and at the end are usually forced to leave. The Great Heep, a television special following the series, serves as a prequel to the final arc. The series' opening theme, "Trouble Again", was performed by Stewart Copeland of the Police and written by Copeland and Derek Holt. The series was later shown in reruns on Sci-Fi Channel's Cartoon Quest. PremiseDroids is set four years after Revenge of the Sith, and fifteen years before the events of A New Hope.[1] The series follows the adventures of droids R2-D2 and C-3PO as they face off against gangsters, criminals, pirates, Boba Fett, IG-88, the Galactic Empire and other threats. During their adventures, the droids always find themselves with new masters and new difficult situations as a result. Cast and charactersMain

Several episodes feature guest stars like Dan Hennessey, Chris Wiggins, George Buza, Andrew Sabiston, Eric Peterson, Rob Cowan, Jamie Dick, Cree Summer, Donny Burns, Alan Fawcett, Don McManus, Long John Baldry and Gordon Masten. Several episodes of the series were written by Star Wars sound designer Ben Burtt. The series was produced by Nelvana on behalf of Lucasfilm and broadcast on ABC. Hanho Heung-Up Co. was the Korean company hired to animated the series.[2] The shows, Droids and Ewoks, were also played on the Sci Fi Channel in 1996 as a part of their early morning Sci-Fi cartoon run, although somewhat edited for time. In the UK, BBC Television bought rights to screen the series in its entirety between 1986 and 1991 as part of the Children's BBC programming strand. The entire series was shown twice within this time (in 1986 and 1988 to coincide with the full release of the Star Wars trilogy as well as Droids on VHS). The Great Heep only made one showing in 1989 on BBC's Going Live!, which was a Saturday morning children's show—it was split into two parts over two weeks.{{cn|date=November 2018}} Different episodes from different cycles were also screened across the five-year licence, with the Trigon cycle being shown in full in early 1991 on another Saturday morning children's show called 15 from Manchester. Comic book seriesIn 1986, Marvel' Star Comics imprint published a Star Wars: Droids comic series spun off from the cartoon. The {{nowrap|bi-monthly}} series ran for eight issues.[2] Four issues and issue 5's cover of the series were drawn by John Romita, Sr. The "Lost in Time" crossover story from Droids #4 was continued in an issue of Ewoks.[2][4] The last three issues are part of an arc recounting the original Star Wars film from the droids' point of view. Additionally, Spanish comics publisher Editorial Gepsa produced two-page Droids comics as part of an anthology series.[5] In 1994, Dark Horse Comics serialized a Droids story in its self-titled compilation series, which led into a new comic series continuing the adventures of {{nowrap|R2-D2}} and {{nowrap|C-3PO}} before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.[2][6] MerchandisingIn 1985, Kenner produced a toy line based on the series, including action figures, ship models, and other items. Two action figures, Boba Fett and A-Wing Pilot, were repackaged figures from the main Star Wars line[2] The toy line was canceled after the first group of 12 figures[2] due to decreasing popularity with Star Wars. In 1987 and then 1988, Glasslite of Brazil issued remaining Kenner stock and produced a very limited run of remaining Return of the Jedi and Droids toys from a sell off. Certain vehicles, mini-rigs and action figures were issued by the company in new packaging. The character Vlix (Tig Fromm's henchman) was an action figure exclusive from unused molds by Kenner. Like the remainder of the Glasslite line, very few were made, even less were sold and most were recycled due to the failing economy when money was tight across the country.[7] Vlix is the most valuable Star Wars action figure at about $6,000 carded or $1,200 loose).[2] A book was issued in the UK of the Episode "A Race to the Finish" as well as another book that had limited print runs. Plans to release a storybook and cassette of the Trigon cycle for the publishing company Rainbow were abandoned after they lost the rights to re-issue their Star Wars run which included A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Planet of the Hoojibs, Droid World and Return of the Jedi: The Battle of Endor due to poor reflective sales of Buena Vista's "Further Adventure" series overseas which included Mission to Ord Mantell, An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. A computer game was released in 1988 for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64 by Mastertronic. The game went largely unnoticed and was pulled from production due to licensing rights of the end title theme tune being used. Release on home videoAlong with Ewoks, the entire series has yet to be released on home video. Some episodes were released on VHS in the 1980s and 1990s, most notably the UK PAL releases over four cassettes (Droids 1–3 and The Great Heep), which had the opening sequences and credits edited out. In 1996, Rick McCallum produced The Pirates and the Prince, a direct-to-video movie compiled from four episodes,[8] and while working on the Star Wars prequel trilogy, expressed hope for an eventual release of the series on DVD.[9] In late 2004, McCallum produced a DVD titled Star Wars: Animated Adventures – Droids, which featured The Pirates and the Prince and Treasure of the Hidden Planet, a new compilation film including narration from Mungo Baobab (voiced by Alex Lindsay). Both titles included some soundtrack changes.[10] McCallum retired from Lucasfilm in 2012, and Droids went unmentioned in the 2014 rebranding of Star Wars canon,[11] making the future of its release uncertain. Role in greater Star Wars continuityBen Burtt wrote liner notes for the Shadows of the Empire soundtrack, which referenced the Roonstones he had written about in Droids.[12] He made a cameo appearance in Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and named his character after the Baobabs. The official Star Wars website acknowledged several references to the animated series in the prequels, such as the Boonta Eve Classic in The Phantom Menace, the planet Bogden in Attack of the Clones, and General Grievous's wheel bike design in Revenge of the Sith. [13] Additionally, possible sources of inspiration for sequel trilogy main characters Rey and Kylo Ren have been noticed.[14] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://forums.starwars.com:80/thread.jspa?threadID=222689&start=2265|title=Star Wars: Message Boards: Books, Comics, & Television VIPs|last=Chee|first=Leland (Tasty Taste)|website=StarWars.com|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070305041157/http://forums.starwars.com/thread.jspa?threadID=222689&start=2265|date=June 14, 2006|archivedate=March 5, 2007|accessdate=November 2, 2018|df=}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web|url=https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/everything-youd-ever-want-to-know-about-star-wars-droids|title=Everything You'd Ever Want To Know About Star Wars: Droids|last=Greene|first=Jamie|website=Syfy Wire|date=January 18, 2018|accessdate=January 20, 2019|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190120050018/https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/everything-youd-ever-want-to-know-about-star-wars-droids|archivedate=January 20, 2019|deadurl=no}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|url=https://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=charlie&p=107&item=B:06292|title=Ewoks And Droids Adventure Hour: The Cries Of The Trees / The White Witch {Series Premieres} (TV)|publisher=Paley Center for Media|date=September 7, 1985|accessdate=March 2, 2019|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190302205750/https://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=charlie&p=107&item=B:06292|archivedate=March 2, 2019|deadurl=no}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.starwars-holocron.net/comics/ewoks-10-the-demons-of-endor|title=Ewoks #10 - The Demons of Endor|website=Star Wars Holocron|date=February 21, 2012|accessdate=November 11, 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.starwars.com/news/droids-and-ewoks-return-spains-lost-star-wars-comic-strips|title=Droids and Ewoks Return: Spain's Lost Star Wars Comic Strips|website=StarWars.com|date=April 10, 2013|accessdate=November 11, 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/94-548/Star-Wars-Droids-Special|title=Star Wars: Droids Special|website=Dark Horse Comics|accessdate=November 11, 2018}} 7. ^The Star Wars Collector's Archive 8. ^{{cite web|title=Cargo Bay: Droids: The Pirates and the Prince|work=StarWars.com|url=http://cargobay.starwars.com/webapps/cargobay/item-detail/7141|accessdate=June 24, 2007|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070609033411/http://cargobay.starwars.com/webapps/cargobay/item-detail/7141|archivedate=June 9, 2007|df=}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.starwars.com/community/askjc/rick/askjc20020626.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050310100228/http://www.starwars.com/community/askjc/rick/askjc20020626.html|title=Star Wars: Community - Ewoks on DVD?|website=StarWars.com|date=June 26, 2002|archivedate=March 10, 2005|accessdate=October 19, 2018|dead-url=no|df=}} 10. ^{{cite web|last=Rivera|first=Mark|title=Star Wars Animated Adventures Droids The Pirates And The Prince & Treasure Of The Hidden Planet Double Feature DVD Review|work=Genreonline.net|year=2004|url=http://www.genreonline.net/SWDroids_DVD.html|accessdate=June 24, 2007}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.starwars.com/news/the-legendary-star-wars-expanded-universe-turns-a-new-page |title=The Legendary Star Wars Expanded Universe Turns a New Page|website=StarWars.com|date=April 25, 2014|accessdate=October 19, 2018}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.starwars.com/news/the-droids-re-animated-part-2|title=The Droids Re-Animated, Part 2|last=Peña|first=Abel G.|date=July 5, 2013|website=StarWars.com|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140804021837/http://www.starwars.com/news/the-droids-re-animated-part-2|archivedate=August 4, 2014|accessdate=November 26, 2018}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.starwars.com/news/from-boonta-to-baobab-droids-and-the-star-wars-prequels|title=From Boonta to Baobab: Droids and the Star Wars Prequels|work=Starwars.com|date=April 1, 2014|accessdate=September 15, 2016}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.cbr.com/wait-is-star-wars-rey-a-copy-of-a-character-from-the-droids-cartoon/|title=Wait, Is Star Wars' Rey A Copy Of A Character From The Droids Cartoon?|last=White|first=Brett|date=December 2, 2016|website=CBR.com|accessdate=November 26, 2018}} Further reading
