Star Wars: Droids - The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO is an animated television series set in the Star Wars galaxy. It features the exploits of R2-D2 and C-3PO-the famous droid duo who have appeared in all six Star Wars films. The series, which lasted fifteen episodes, takes place in 15 BBY-which is between the events depicted in the Star Wars films: Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. The series' opening theme-"Trouble Again"-was performed by Stewart Copeland from the band The Police.

Throughout the series, the droids face off against gangsters, pirates, Boba Fett, IG-88, the Galactic Empire, and other threats. During their adventures, the droids always find themselves with new masters and new difficult situations as a result. Throughout the series, the droids team up with four different sets of masters. The first season is divided up into cycles, in which at the beginning of each, the droids usually run into their new masters in an accidental way, and at the end of each cycle, they usually are forced to leave their masters for one reason or another. The Great Heep, a television special following the first season, serves as a prequel to one of these cycles. It tells the adventures of the droids before they joined up with Mungo Baobab in The Adventures of Mungo Baobab Cycle. After the show ended, all of the episodes were re-played along with new episodes of Star Wars: Ewoks as part of the Ewoks and Star Wars Droids Adventure Hour.

Star Wars: Droids was released on DVD on November 23, 2004 as an edited compilation under the title Star Wars Animated Adventures: Droids. It contains eight episodes of the series, edited together as two full length movies. Episodes 5-8 were edited together to make The Pirates and the Prince, and Episodes 10-13 were edited together to make Treasure of the Hidden Planet.
