C-3PO and R2-D2 find themselves back on the Millennium Falcon after the demise of Obi-Wan Kenobi. They are then transported to Yavin, where R2-D2 hands over the critical Death Star plans to the forces of the Rebel Alliance. Upon landing, the droids identify and neutralize a homing droid attempting to pinpoint their location. Subsequently, R2-D2 accompanies Luke Skywalker during the Rebel's assault on the formidable Death Star.
While inspired by the Star Wars Droids animated television program, this comic series presents original narratives rather than direct adaptations of the show's episodes. However, this specific story arc offers a partial retelling of the events depicted in A New Hope, enriched with additional perspectives from C-3PO and R2-D2.
