We include 8D8 on this list because the skeletal torture droid showed us one thing in his brief appearance in Return of the Jedi – that droids feel actual pain and that’s all sorts of messed up. So thanks FX-7, you and your ridiculously playable action figure are remembered fondly. It seems FX-7 helped patch Rebels back together throughout most of the Original Trilogy. Artoo and Threepio of course go on to forge their own legacy, but U-3PO simply walks out of the shot.įX-7 would pop up again later, helping to build Luke’s robotic hand, and if you have your pause button handy, you can spy FX-7 during the Rebel briefing in Return of the Jedi. After the Star Destroyer catches Princess Leia’s blockade runner, the film cuts to C-3PO, R2-D2, and good ol’ U-3PO making a run for it. Yeah, U-3PO barely appeared in the original Star Wars, but this silver protocol droid needs to make this list because it is one of the first characters introduced in the entire Star Wars saga. Join us as we take a look back and thank the Maker for the 30 greatest droids of the Star Wars saga! 30. So here’s to the astromechs, the protocol droids, the medical droids, and the assassin droids that have been whirring and clanking their way into fans’ hearts since that first opening scrawl so many years ago. The Disney era of Star Wars is full of fantastic new droids, including BB-8, Rogue One‘s K-2SO, and 元-37 from Solo: A Star Wars Story. And these are just a few of the many droids that have made the galaxy far, far away such a fun place to visit over and over again.
