I was a kid when this came out and what you're describing is exactly my experience. I watched it because I like C3P0 and it was a cartoon but I fucking hated it anyway.
Interesting story: This was my introduction to Star Wars when I was like 6 or 7. And then one day A New Hope was on TV and I was like, "hey, those are the two robots from that show that I liked." I watched A New Hope, loved it, and I've been hooked ever since.
Fun. Fact: Lucas intended for R2 and C-3PO to be like Abbot and Costello. Like David Prowse, Anthony Daniels wasn’t meant to voice C-3PO. Both droids were supposed to have Brooklyn accents. A famous voice actor was brought in to do their voices. However, he took one look at the footage of Daniels, and told Lucas that no one could voice the character better than Daniels. The voice actor was Mel Blanc.
**young Maso looks out the window one day after school while watching Star Wars droids, wondering what to do with his life. Sees a tram go past his house, he now knows what he wants to do.**
I remember watching it on TV as a kid. Star Wars was my favorite thing, so anything Star Wars was loved. Droids was no exception. I remember missing the Star Wars x-mas special because we went to some church x-mas party. I only caught the last 2 minutes when we got home. I was in my 30's before I saw it all. Kinda glad I missed it. The Donnie and Marie Star Wars Special was better than SW x-mas and it was corny af. I bought the Droids and Ewoks series on DVD for my kids. They liked it too.
I think that droids is cannon, but it’s how R2D2 perceives everything like he has no real clue what is happening, he just fills in the blanks with his imaginative metal doggo confidence
Fun Fact: I've actually saw the VHS tape for these three episodes of Droids and begged my mom to buy it for me when I was 7. When I went home to watch it, I was both confused and bored, but I never once expected it to tie into Kylo Ren's backstory. Now that's some clever worldbuilding!
Maso’s imagined experience of his life watching Droids, then going forward in existential angst has been my life. I now wear turtle one is and read giant depressing novels.
Well judging by what James & Maso said around 1:40, they're gonna need to drum up that 500k-600k/1.7m dollaridoos to produce an episode _of this high quality,_ clearly. That's gonna take a few more Patreon pledge tiers, I wager :D
Great vid. I remember that show as a kid, but there were so many cartoons in the 80's it was hard to get into and keep up with. I also recall not being interested in Star Wars lore without ther legacy heroes. There was also an Ewok cartoon...
I loved “Droids” as a kid, that and “Ewoks” a better Star Wars cartoon was “Robostory” it wasn’t actually a star wars cartoon, but it had little evil dudes that looked like Darth Vader.. does anyone else remember that cartoon?
I know this is a year later but I really need to ask what is Robo story where did you see that because I've had I want to say dreams about a cartoon I've seen before that involved a bunch of little Darth Vader looking dudes.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I've been waiting for another "Droids" episodes for so long! I honestly think these are some of your best episodes and they were what got me into watching "Caravan of Garbage."
*"THE UGNAUGHT INITIATIVE"* There's actually quite an interesting story behind the mini tie fighter at 2:04. The Empire actually had a corp of Ugnaught pilots, as they were known throughout the galaxy for their outstanding piloting skills. The Empire provided them with custom miniature Tie Fighters. The Empire typically didn't allow non humans within their ranks , but Grand Admiral Thrawn had spearheaded "The Ugnaught Initiative" and was able to convince Palpatine of the potential value of having Ugnaughts piloting these miniature tie fighters. Being so tiny, they're more difficult for the enemy to hit , just for starters. It would seem that Kylo Kahn 's criminal faction was able to get their hands on at least one of these Ugnaught operated mini ties. I believe he had some Jawas in his organization , obviously they would have been able to pilot a specialty Tie such as this. (Or it could have possibly been Kenny Baker piloting. )
I remember watching this as a kid and your thoughts are correct. But when Kylo Ren was announced this is the first place my mind went! Long live Kybo Ren Cha!
It was on Saturday mornings - and you’re right - we watched it - but didn’t like it - because we knew there was more out there just knowing the movies and what wasn’t included.
Came across the VHS tape of this literally in a dumpster just last week. Couldn't get through the first episode. It's fate was to be trash so I hurried it along it's way.
(5:02) I can't help but think that the animators drew inspiration from Empire Strikes Back for how the characters follow 3PO as he flies through the air, a la Luke Skywalker watching R2 after he got spat out by the underwater swamp monster. It's just too dead on, the way they slowly track him through the air. Just shows you how they were providing fan service from almost the very beginning. ;)
I had these episodes as a kid and i liked them. I grew out of them and i haven't watched them since. I don't know if i would like it now i probably won't
Lol that was a short episode. I know you like to upload the full verion on the weekly planet but caravan of garbage feels it's best at around 20 minutes in my opinion
Guys, I did watch this when it was on and as a kid I loved it because it was more STAR WARS, truthfully until y'all started bringing it on the Caravan all I really remembered was when you would have a cameo or see vehicles that I recognized lol
You should do the ewok movies 'Caravan of courage' and 'The Battle for Endor'! It's the first time we see the 'Blurrgs' who show up in episode 1 of The Mandalorian.
the perfect Star Wars movie for caravan of garbage is the Long forgotten ewok movie “Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure “ and it’s sequel, “Ewoks: The battle for Endor “
I watched this as a kid, forever wishing Luke would show up, much as I did with the Ewoks movies (but not the cartoon oddly) it was really, really boring but I’d watch it anyway... Then I saw the Kybo Ren episodes on UA-cam and watched it when I was drunk. I probably commented and asked when you’d do this but I’m not sure and not checking. Anyway, did you get Mallett’s Mallet in Australia? "You mustn’t pause, you mustn’t hesitate or you’ll get a whack on the head like this" etc.
I remember watching a little bit of one episode and that's it. I think it's competition was Disney's "Gummi Bears" cartoon and Jim Henson's "Muppet Babies"
i like the first couple of episodes where they meet the Fromm gang, Size Fromm looks like a cross between a fat marlon brando and Jabba the Hutt, and Boba Fett pod races in one of the episodes
I did watch this show before school in the late 90s, when it was rerun on The Sci-Fi Channel (before it was SyFy). I felt about it exactly as Mason imagined he would. There was also an Ewoks show. Worth a Caravan of Garbage spot, if you ask me...
This was on ABC's Saturday morning cartoon block. I watched it. I don't have bad memories of it. Actually I don't have any memories of it. I remember it existed. As with all things Star Wars at the time we watched these in the hope they'd have Han or Luke pop in.
Actually the star destroyer in Star Wars droids is called a gladiator class star destroyer which is both in Star Wars legends and was introduced in canon a while back
I was the perfect age for the Ewoks and Droids cartoons, and I saw maybe one episode of each. Also, I don't ever remember any of my friends ever talking about it in school. I looked up the old Saturday morning cartoon schedule for 85-86, and in 1985 I watched Muppet Babies (instead of Ewoks) and Dungeons & Dragons (instead of Droids). In 86, Muppet Babies (not Ewoks) and Pee Wee's Playhouse (not Droids). You can't compete with Muppet Babies and Pee Wee's Playhouse.

Uncle Gundy: a star wars story
Technically droids was still canon in legends, they get captured by space pirates from Organa and eventually work their way back.
I believe.
That’s false, A Wings weren’t invented until 4 ABY and this is set in like 10 BBY I’m pretty sure
@@teddy-fl6hmor does that just explain why the A wings in this show don't look like the A wings in anything else?

I loved Droids as a kid! Ewoks was pretty good as well, but Droids was my favourite. Today, it’s a different story, but back then it was awesome
There were also the comic books of it: www.amazon.com/dp/1595829539
I have both on dvd from when i was like, five.
I was given the Droids VHS movie version of the show and enjoyed it

Your editor is really on point when it comes to the 12 minute mark these last few videos.
It's almost 4 in the morning and I have to wake up in a few hours, but I'm fine with losing sleep if it means I get to watch Caravan of Garbage
The clip with the dude that threw his pen in his hair was so random. Gave me a good chuckle. Thank you.
Kybo Ren founded the Knights of Ren. Kylo Ren continues his legacy.

Thank you for making this. Nobody believed me when I brought up Kybo Ren and newer star wars fans tend to hate looking up Wookieepedia.
