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.

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.

ITYM "ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster". HTH. HAND.
