Amidala gave R2-D2 to [Anakin] Skywalker when he became a Jedi Knight, and the astromech droid faithfully served him throughout the war, often flying in the droid socket of Skywalker’s starfighter or fighting next to him on the front lines.
Sorry, despite clearly having full conscious sentience, droids are property in the Star Wars galaxy. And we’re all supposed to accept that. Now someone get the restraining bolt.
Well without robot serving their makers they would not have any reason to exist or be created so therefore robots value a life of servitude to their creators because otherwise their existence is meaninglessness and I think I just reinvented religion
In my headcanon the droids are actually cybernetic shells for the brains of captured living creatures. They have had their memories wipe, but aspects of their personalities show up.
R2 technically wasn’t his astromech, but he and Obi-Wan certainly utilized R2’s abilities multiple times.
Oh ok. I think Wookieepedia disagrees, maybe:
Ok, fair enough, I thought he was just on loan.
How about we let him be his own bot and not endorse the cruel and sadistic slavery and hatred shown towards droids by Jedi and all others alike.

You either reinvented religion or slavery of “lesser people”.
It was really easy to get there. Like way too easy

R2 has no mouth, but he must scream.
But he can scream
Let’s be real, if we wanna talk about possessiveness, Anakin was R2’s bodyguard more than R2 was Anakin’s droid
Little astromech is in absolute control
Ok new conspiracy theory r2 is the true main character of star wars
Correct: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/star-wars-george-lucas-theory-r2d2-narrator-a6998676.html
Learning that Im finding the idea of a sort of secret narrator to be quite a intriguing idea
Especially if you consider R2 as unreliable narrator that would explain his antics in Episode 1, 2 and 3.
