 Minor droids in Star Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Octuptarra Droids were sound in design, and successes in the field coupled to easily scalable equipment used in the Techno Union's manufacturing plants led to more advanced models being produced such as the towering Tri-droid, standing many metres tall and bristling with high-powered laser cannons, missile launchers and sometimes flamethrowers.
In the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series, a droid called R4, that looks exactly the same, was destroyed by Asajj Ventress after Anakin Skywalker chased her around the galaxy.
In the Star Wars universe, an Assassin Droid is a standard Battle droid that distinguishes itself from its counterparts with its sophisticated targeting programme.

 Star Wars - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, published in 2003, won Game of the Year recognition from several prominent gaming magazines, websites, etc. A sequel, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, was released for the Xbox in December of 2004 and the PC in February of 2005.
Star Wars stresses the self-destructive nature of anger and hate, summed up in Yoda's words ("Fear is the path to the dark side: fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering") as well as placing one's feelings for certain people aside.
Star Wars was also a daily newspaper comic strip from 1979 to 1984, written for the bulk of its run by Archie Goodwin and drawn by Al Williamson.

 Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
The resemblance between the two buffoon farmers in The Hidden Fortress and the two talkative droids in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope is apparent.
In general, the Star Wars movies have followed the convention, common in space opera, in which planets stand in for regions of the Earth, so that there would be a desert planet, a jungle planet, and so on.
The opening title (the "theme from Star Wars", or "Luke's Theme") has been said to resemble John Barry's theme from Born Free, but has a similar facade to the opening strains of the 1942 film, King's Row, scored by Erich Wolfgang Korngold.

 DVD Review - The Star Wars Trilogy
The droids are also carrying the stolen plans for the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, a massive space station with enough firepower to destroy an entire planet.
Too much is predictable here (such as the appearance of a second Death Star) and too many compromises were made for the younger audience members (the very presence of the Ewoks, for example) which is especially noticeable after the more adult themes of the previous installment.
After successfully destroying the Death Star, Luke and his Rebel friends have been pursued across the galaxy by Darth Vader and the Empire's mighty space fleet.

 STAR WARS
The biggest sci-fi film of all time, "Stars Wars" is still every bit as enjoyable as it was when it was released twenty years ago and still spawns pallid and vastly inferior imitations.
While "Jaws" was the first true summer blockbuster, "Star Wars" was the first "must see" event that landed in theaters a scant two years later.
The Empire has built a moon-sized weapon, the Death Star, which is capable of destroying planets in one shot.

 Amazon.com: Star Wars Trilogy: Music: John Williams
This reissue of the original Star Wars Trilogy soundtracks was released to coincide with the DVD debut of the original films.
Maybe that will give the STAR WARS soundtracks some integrity than this skimpy reissue does, and maybe we will be able to see the Ewok Celebration finale from Return of the Jedi, as well as Lapti Nek, restored.

 Star Wars: Databank Republic attack cruiser
Though the term "Star Destroyer" is never used in the film to describe these starships, the use of the classic Star Destroyer bridge set to represent this vessel's interior leant the classic moniker to this new warship.
By the end of the film, the Star Destroyers lack color altogether, symbolizing the Empire's emergence over the Republic.
The design of the Jedi attack cruiser is meant to bridge the look of the Acclamator-class vessels seen in Episode II and the Imperial-class Star Destroyers in Episode IV.

 Review: Star Wars Republic Commando for Xbox
Set between the events of Episodes II and III, Star Wars Republic Commando for the Xbox allows you to control an elite squad of Clone Troopers in a variety of locations and planets as you fight against the separatist movement and defend the republic.
History has proven that making a compelling Star Wars title that actually hews to the conventions and traditions of the films is a difficult task.
Overall, this solidly produced title is excellent in most areas and benefits immensely from its connection with the Star Wars universe, making Republic Commando an enjoyable and refreshingly sophisticated game that should appeal to both experienced players and newcomers alike.

 Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Explosions were such in demand that the compositors dipped into the library of explosions built for the Naboo plains battle from Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) to fill out the shots.
Leaving Tatooine, Anakin, Padme and loyal droids R2-D2 and C-3PO (happy to again see Anakin, his maker) take off for Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan who has fallen into the clutches of Count Dooku, a former Jedi who left the order and is now leader of the Separatist movement.
Dooku has a massive droid army at his disposal and it seems the Jedi will be needing that clone army after all.

 Pixel Fiction - Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles
Star Wars: Episode I for new Playstation games is a vast improvement over the previous, generically titled Phantom Menace game.
Unlike the previous Star Wars fighting game for the Playstation, Masters of Teras Kasi, the game does not ask the player to memorize complicated eight-button "chain starter" sequences to enable special moves - only four buttons are required.
Plo Koon is powerful against battle droids, but is the least likely to survive the first level's bulldozer-like boss droid since agility is the key to defeating it.

 Amazon.com: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: Computer & Video Games
Star Wars fans will get a kick out of the rich lore introduced in the game, particularly the Tatooine storyline that reveals the origin and history of the Sand People.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic takes place just a few years after the Mandolorian Wars, thousands of years before the events in the Star Wars movies we know and love.
Furthermore, KOTOR is the best thing that happened to the Star Wars franchise since "The Empire Strikes Back." In my humble opinion, this game would have been a great movie and is BY FAR a better movie than the last two we have seen at the theatre.

 Star Wars Origins - Frank Herbert's Dune
It's no coincidence that so many major sources for Star Wars were influenced by Shakespeare: Dune, The Lord of the Rings, Forbidden Planet and Kurusawa (Kurosawa's Ran, 1985, was a remake of King Lear).
Star Wars created by George Lucas, © LucasFilm Ltd.
Herbert innovated in one other major way: in his day, Science Fiction was seen mostly as a way to express mind-expanding ideas through story, but the idea was the star, and the story itself was mostly seen as a "coat hanger" for the idea to hang on.

 Star Wars
Probably one of the most significant influences from Star Wars on the notion of the robot is the widespread use of robots, even beyond C3PO and R2D2, as well as the treatment of the droids as nearly human, despite clearly being machines.
Star Wars was a revolutionary science-fiction film that changed the perception of robots in the minds of many from in-human technical apparatus to real characters, with a sense of humor and feelings.
The way they are able to identify and fully interact with their human counterparts allows the audience to feel as though these droids are actually a "part" of the same legend as Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.

Guri looked and saw that her escort had spoken to one of the diagnostic droids and then left.
When the body was repaired, the droids concentrated on the brain.
Guri programmed the ship to take a direct course for the planet where she could be repaired, but then her assassin programming advised her that it would be better if she hopped across the galaxy a few times to shake off any potential pursuers.

Hamen sent the remote to the middle of the floor and drew his lightsaber.

From the deck of a star destroyer, Darth Vader, Palpatine and Tarkin watch the death star being constructed.
