R2D2C3PO

R2D2C3PO is a fan-coined term used to refer to the pairing or hypothetical fusion of the Star Wars droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. The name combines their designations to highlight the long-running collaboration and the contrast between their personalities. It is not an official character in the Star Wars canon, but the concept appears in fan fiction, art, and community glossaries.

In the film saga, R2-D2 is an astromech droid known for practical problem-solving, hacking, and mechanical improvisation, while C-3PO is a protocol droid focused on translation, etiquette, and social interaction. The duo frequently helps protagonists with missions across the galaxy, often accomplishing tasks through a blend of R2's technical initiative and C-3PO's linguistic and diplomatic skills. Their interactions contribute to the series' humor and emotional moments, emphasizing teamwork despite frequent disagreements.

Within fan-created media, R2D2C3PO is depicted as either a merged unit combining their functional systems or as a dynamic duo treated as a single character. Artists and writers sometimes explore how the two would operate as a single chassis or as a pair sharing control and software modules. Canonically, however, R2-D2 and C-3PO remain separate droids who frequently collaborate rather than fuse into one machine.
