The two droids, one protocol and one astromech, were unmistakably similar to the iconic C-3PO and R2-D2 that fans have come to know and love. However, these versions were twisted, almost evil versions of the original characters. It was as if The Mandalorian was presenting the dark side of the beloved droids.
C-3PO, a protocol droid, is known for his politeness, etiquette, and fluent communication skills. He is often seen as a companion to R2-D2 and has been a part of almost every Star Wars movie. In The Mandalorian, the imperial version of C-3PO is seen as more sinister and malicious, with a red light instead of the usual golden one.

R2-D2, on the other hand, is an astromech droid who is known for his bravery and resourcefulness. He has been a constant presence in the Star Wars franchise and is loved by fans for his humorous antics and loyalty. The imperial version of R2-D2, as seen in The Mandalorian, is also darker, with a more aggressive and menacing look.
It is fascinating to see the contrast between the original and imperial versions of the beloved droids. The Mandalorian has managed to keep the essence of the characters intact while presenting a twisted and darker side of them. This has added a new dimension to the already complex world of Star Wars, leaving fans wondering what other surprises the show has in store for them.
