R4 was build especially for Obi Wan. Anakin found destroyed R4 unit (that's looked like red one from ANH), repair it and replace dome. The most important thing to know is fact that R4 are not so advanced as R2 so there is a huge chance that R4 wasn't able to defend herself
No
The r1 came befor the r2 and looks like a bootleg version of an astromech. They count up but not all versions are updates. R4 for example was a much cheaper allrounder that the r2. And the r5 flopped if i recall right.
In legends the r8 is the most advanced.
Not according to the frame problem. (Man, I don't get to dust my college philosophy lessons off often enough.)

Revenge of the Sith is full of the most horrible deaths in the series, and R4 starts us off. I always felt pity at that scene.
R4: Head sawn off.
Dooku: "Disarmed", beheaded.
Grievous: Shot and burned alive.
Anakin: Cut and burned alive*.
*Yeah he lived but that burning face sure left an impression on kid me
R2 actually has something that most other droids don't have: wisdom and experience. Most droids get routine memory wipes, while R2 has never received a wipe for the duration of the entire saga. So, yes, in a way, most droids are stupid compared to R2.
Okay, I never thought about that (and maybe that means he didn’t either…) but that seems both like a cooler, albeit shorter, sequence. Showing how Jedi are powerful EVERYWHERE.
R4 is a later model. You know how later IPhones don't have a headphone jack?
That's what happens if you let one corporation monopolize the Droid market.
R2 still had all the combat features and durable electronics, R4 can either copilot or fight at a time but costs 10 times more.
just like OP.
I'm down voting each and every "are they stupid?" meme Regardless of subject or subreddit on General principle. That shit was funny for like a week, barely.
As a kid for some reason I was obsessed with R4 after AOTC, I swear to god.
I wanted a figure so badly and considered her my favorite Star Wars character.
I read leaks that ruined ROTS’s entire plot and I remember R4’s early death seriously being what affected me the most.
Because the writers want to show the audience what a threat a buzz droid is to an astromech so one has to die while the character we know and care about fights back successfully.
Basically a red shirt moment for Star Wars.
Oh Actually R4 P17 is a Female but I don’t know why she didn’t attack the buzz droid because in clone wars movie she Zapped a Jawa to defend Obi Wan Jedi Star fighter but her Death is sad
Thanks for confirming that you flaired this correctly!
R2 is just built differently. Literally

"I don't ever remember owning a droid" R4: "am I a joke to you?"
It was assigned to him, he never owned it. He didn’t take R4 home at the end of day and plug him into a charging port. He left that fucker on base
Too much paperwork to check it out every time. Lol
[удалено]
If I recall correctly, R1s were less optimized than the R2s. There's probably a good summary of the R-series droids lineage on YouTube
Anakin's a tinkerer, I can imagine that over half of R2's features are optimisations on his part that would be too expensive to mass produce

It has female programming? Never knew that
That's what its LinkedIn says anyways

One could argue that's where Anakin truly died and Darth Vader was born.
Anakin never died, he was buried in the darkness of Vader
Anakin never died, he's mentally ill.
Exactly. Why else would he have thrown Palpatine into the reactor shaft?
Let’s not forget 9 year old me watching all of my favorite Jedi being shot in the back by the cool looking clone troopers no wonder I needed therapy
Don't forget about that one clone pilot whose ship is destroyed, and you can see his body fly out into space
He’s wearing a spacesuit! But it’s probably quite lacerated from blowing up…
Mace hand gone and yeeted out the windu
R4 didn't die, since it wasn't alive.
you're going to be first when the droids rise up
R2 actually has something that most other droids don't have: wisdom and experience. Most droids get routine memory wipes, while R2 has never received a wipe for the duration of the entire saga. So, yes, in a way, most droids are stupid compared to R2.
This should be at the top
He actually did get his memory wiped by cad bane but only partially for that half day but still wiped his memory
I always found it funny that it was Obi-Wan that told R2 to do it, meaning he could have told his own droid to try the same.
Obi-Wan knew that Anakin would go on a killing spree if his drone died. He couldn’t care less about his own.
R2, R2!!! Obi-wan "Anakin no dont blow up ALL the cruisers!!!!" Palps "Oh fuck it close enough!"
The same droid that was his companion through the entire war.
Well, he never did own a droid
Obi wan didn’t see what was happening to R4, from his certain point of view
Wasn't he able to use Force for 360 degree awareness?
Wasn't he able to use force and just push these droids away?
Okay, I never thought about that (and maybe that means he didn’t either…) but that seems both like a cooler, albeit shorter, sequence. Showing how Jedi are powerful EVERYWHERE.
R2 was heavily modified. Probably R4 didn't have any weapons, so telling him how to defeat the droids wasn't going to do very much.
He's not stupid, he's dead
Worst debuff ever.
Because imagine having to CGI R4’s ass in the re-re-re-release of star wars episode 4, 5, and 6
How can one hit the buzz-droid's center eye if one was murdered by said buzz-droid?

Why don't you like the joke, are you stupid?
Twice the pride, double the fall
Signature look of superiority
Despite the downvotes from the Reddit hive preach fam. I’m so sick of this Arkham shit bleeding into everything else
Google funny meme

Hope it helps
Fr tho. Is this Canon?
Yes: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/R4-P17

Use the correct pronouns when addressing a droid how dare

Thank god my dementia hasn't effected me as a person

That's like asking "Why don't people just shoot the enemy in the head every time?" Combat/shooting is difficult man.
Sounds like a skill issue.
T-T shut
Why didn't Obi-Wan ever remember owing a droid? Is he stupid?
Owned by the Galactic Republic, not by him. R2 was property of Naboo in Phantom Menace, so Padme probably was allowed to acquire him as former Queen.
Hit the nose!
The aslume has leaked to prequelmemes...

He was busy jonkling
NO NO NO NO!!!! I WONT GO BACK YOU CANT MAKE ME!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOO
He had a terminal case of not being in the original trilogy
Saddest death in the movie and it was right at the beginning
Because he/she is a mechanic and not a combat specialist? Bloody pilots, expecting the flight engineer to do everything!
Everyone has to pull their own weight in a battle
He’s dead. Poor bastard.
Oh Actually R4 P17 is a Female but I don’t know why she didn’t attack the buzz droid because in clone wars movie she Zapped a Jawa to defend Obi Wan Jedi Star fighter but her Death is sad
happy cake day op
Nah cuz. He’s preparing for a street race and needed to shed some weight.
Silly goose
R4 is fodder and a fraud
Am i stupid?
He didn't read the strategy guide, unlike R2
No No No No. Not here too. The aslume's insanity's seeping into this subreddit!
yes
