The Adventures of R2-D2 & C-3PO: Official Sources

In this blog entry I have made a list of official sources that have information about the "Droids" cartoons. You may remember my previous blog about the Droids Encyclopedia so this one is closely related.

As far as I can remember, there have been few sources to add
background information about "Droids" since the release of the series in 1985/1986. The episodes themselves are great sources of course because some information, mainly from the last episodes, has never been published.

* Bantha Tracks Issue 29: Info on the 48 Roller Wheel Bike and some obscure Droids.
* SW Insider: A few articles about the show in general
* Droids Books Random House: Four adventures were transformed into a book.
* Droids Dragon Books: Story Arc I was transformed into four small booklets UK.
* SW Dungeon / Polyhedron: Article about Trigon One Storyline with info on characters, species, planets, vehicles and ships!
* The Guide to the Star Wars Universe: Has some "Droids" related entries.
* Shadows of the Empire Soundtrack: Notes about 'Dha Werda Verda'
* Official Databank: The former Databank had entries from "Droids" but only about the episodes that were released on dvd.
* The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons: Features Roon and Roon wildlife
* The Essential Guide to Droids / The Official Star Wars Fact Files: Features Fromm Tower Droid
* Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds: Features Roon and several vehicles and locations on Roon
* Galactic Phrase Book & Travel Guide: Info about the Baobabs
* C-3PO: Tales of the Golden Droid: R-22 Spearhead retcon
* New Essential Guide to Droids: BL Battle Legionnaire & The Great Heep
* The Essential Atlas: Planets from the series and added Chuzalla for the first time as a planet in the online index.
* Hasbro: BL-17 & Boba Fett set
* What's the Story: Biitu & Roon in Tzizvvt entry
* Inside the Worlds of Star Wars Trilogy: H-60 Tempest Bomber (possible appearance in "Droids", if not urgent retcon needed about the "B-Wing Starfighter" in "Droids")
* The Complete SW Encyclopedia: New info about "The Great Heep".
* The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide: Adds Gladiator-class Star Destroyer from "Droids"
* Castaways of Endor: Info about Starhunter's Intergalactic Menagerie
* Idiot's Array (Hyperspace story): features Mungo Baobab and Auren Yomm
