The world of Star Wars is just as busy as the real world, however, unlike here, there are plenty of robot companions that assist the characters of Star Wars along the way in their adventures.
Droids are a big part of the makeup of the universe and do it all from medical tasks, sciences, social, all the way to combat. In the galaxy far far away there are few tasks that don’t have a droid built to assist with, however, not all of these characters get the shin on the big screen.
