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.
