Star Wars Vintage R5-D4 Droid

The R5-D4 was a part of the low cost Industrial Automaton R5 line, a line plagued with malfunctions. Its programming became jealous of other droids that were capable of serving without failure and had loyal masters. The droid was almost sold to Luke's uncle,  Owen Lars, but malfunctioned at the time of purchase. Owen then chose the R2-D2 droid. Some Star Wars buffs claim that R2-D2 sabotaged R5-D4 so that R2 and 3PO could remain together.

Star Wars Vintage C3PO

3PO is a protocol droid, designed to liaise among the thousands of different cultures around the galaxy. A protocol droid is fluent in many languages, spoken and unspoken, and assist their owners with things like etiquette, body language, translations, and inter-cultural relations.

Protocol droids often work closely with maintenance droids, as maintenance droids generally have limited communication skills, outside of machine-to-machine communications. C3PO is rarely seen without R2D2, his partner droid. C3PO was originally owned by Anakin Skywalker, left with Anakin, had his memory wiped, and returned years later, not even recognizing Tatooine.

Star Wars Vintage R2D2

R2D2 is a maintenance droid, designed for computer repair and information retrieval. Like many of Lucas's characters, even though R2 only speaks in whirs and whistles, he has a very distinctive, quirky personality. R2D2 was the carrier of Leia's secret message to Ben Kenobi, which was found by Luke Skywalker, and started his journey offworld.
