Um, R2-D2 is called a DROID though, right? And what is DROID short for?
ANDROID. I think in the original script or somewhere R2 and C-3PO were called
'droids. Now, they've dropped the apostrophe.

Android?

whoops! (blushing)
that's one of those words that you put in place because you can't think of

(...) John is most certainly right. In the novelization that I just finished reading, it was spelled with an apostrophe ('droids). Since this was written by Lucas himself, I'd have to imagine that it appeared that way in the script also. -Jonathan (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.starwars)
