Marco L @decatur555 Jun 12 (CASTELLANO) Ver Droids hoy en día es como enfrentarse a un recuerdo borroso de una época en la que Star Wars intentaba expandirse sin saber del todo cómo. La serie, protagonizada por C-3PO y R2-D2, tenía buenas intenciones: mostrarnos sus aventuras antes de unirse a la Rebelión. Pero más allá del valor nostálgico y el carisma innato de estos dos personajes, el resultado es un producto menor, demasiado irregular y carente de dirección clara. Cada episodio es prácticamente un reinicio, con nuevos "amos" y tramas que rara vez enganchan. Ni la animación ni los guiones consiguen levantar el vuelo. Se agradece que intentaran salirse del marco habitual de la saga, pero todo queda en una propuesta infantil, vacía y poco ambiciosa. Eso sí, la canción de los créditos aún la recuerda más de uno, y probablemente sea lo mejor de la serie. Es una pieza curiosa dentro del universo Star Wars, pero más por su rareza que por su calidad. Ideal solo para completistas o fans muy acérrimos de la saga. (ENGLISH) Watching Droids today feels like digging up a blurry memory from a time when Star Wars was trying to expand without really knowing how. The show, led by C-3PO and R2-D2, had good intentions: showing us their adventures before they joined the Rebellion. But beyond the nostalgic value and the built-in charm of these two droids, the result is a minor product—uneven and lacking clear direction. Each episode is basically a reset, with new "masters" and storylines that rarely manage to grab your attention. Neither the animation nor the writing ever takes off. It's nice that they tried to move outside the usual framework of the saga, but the whole thing ends up feeling like an empty, overly childish show with little ambition. That said, some people still remember the catchy intro song, and honestly, that might be the best thing about it. It’s a strange entry in the Star Wars universe—worth seeing only if you're a die-hard fan or a completist.

The series features amazing animation and a fantastic theme song by Stewart Copeland! The series is also a very early example of serialized storytelling in American Animated series. The show fits well with the original Star Wars trilogy while also being a fantastic standalone Star Wars series! I recommend this series to anyone who is a Star Wars fan or a fan of 1980s animated series!
