Description

We're kicking off a BRAND-NEW (to us) series and diving into the classic Star Wars: Droids: The Adventure of R2-D2 and C-3PO! It's an animated show so spectacular it demanded two colons in it's title (but, sadly, only one season). In our first episode, we cover the series premiere and talk about the history of the show and Nelvana, the animation company that brought it and it's companion show Star Wars: Ewoks to ABC in 1985.
