Future of R2 and 3PO
Had an interesting thought exercise about the future of the franchise and how eventually they need to fully move on from established characters. Like for example by the time of the end of TRoS, Chewie, Lando and the droids are all that’s left besides Force Ghost Leia and Luke. Eventually Lando and Chewie will die but my question is; should R2 and 3PO “die” too? Or should they remain into the future as the sole anchor to the main saga? Since they are droids they could potentially be around for a very long time, the question is should they? I know in Legends, R2 survives long enough to meet Cade Skywalker.
What do y’all think?
Edit: I should clarify. I don’t mean for them to necessarily show up in every Star Wars project in the future, but the main franchise films (Episode 10,11,12, etc)
