SUMMARY
Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO is set fifteen years before the events of the 1977 Star Wars film.  The two droids have adventures with new masters throughout the series run.  Kenner produced a short live action figure line, where a few of the foreign released figures are the most expensive and collectible in the Star Wars Kenner line.  Marvel also published a tie-in comic under their Star Comics imprint during the show’s original run.  The 45-min TV Special “The Great Help” was a prequel to the final story arc (episodes #10-13).
