    If I don’t get a Star Wars side project that is actually ‘written’ from the point of view of a lovable but flawed Astro mech/ communication droid duo, I’ll do it myself, by jingo!

    : realizes that this has probably happened dozens of times in both mass market paperback and slash fiction, but I’m just too scared of what I’ll unearth if I look it up:

      I’m thinking along the lines of ‘Rosenkrantz and Gildenstern are Dead’ where we see only the action, or lack thereof from the point of view of minor supporting characters.

      Picture a film that is two hours of R2 and C3P0 wandering the deserts of tattooine before being captured, then the film ends before any action happens.

        Ooh, or a really gnarly exploitation film about the hours of horrible treatment Leia goes through when she is captured and leads up to a final scene where she gets to strangle her abuser.

        When Jabba stops breathing, so does the film.

      Can I make a request that it follows K2-S0?

      That clanker saved rogue one from being complete trash. (That, and everybody dying.)
