Artoo is still my favorite, but I forgot to mention another good one: Whistler.
Whistler is Corran Horn's astromech droid. When Corran was working for CorSec, he got all kinds of fancy stuff put into Whistler. For example, Whistler is immune to restraining bolts.
hmm favorite droid...
HK-47
Statement: And if someone disagrees they get a blaster bolt between the eyes
:D

I went into the Unofficial Encyclopedia (

Whistler
Corran Horn's codename for his R2-D2 astromech droid. Whistler had a near-human personality, and made itself understood by modifying its language of sounds to mimic human mannerisms... ...Not your average astromech, Whistler was programmed by the Corellian Security Force for a number of aptitudes, including creativity, surveillance, lock-picking and forceful entry, and a certain amount of deductive reasoning. Corran also added escape and evasion subroutines...(XWN, IR)
Probably R2-D2...or C-3PO
Woa,i guess he could kick artoo's butt then?
HK-47 is the best Star Wars droid. I love his personality. :D
(C-3PO is a little on the annoying side.)
HK-50 is coming out soon.(KOTOR II)
If the droids are allowed to join jedi , the R2D2 must will be a Droid Jedi Master , I can feel the force in it
I like any astro droid, R2 because he's the only one with any screen time.
HK-47 was a cool character, but I always felt he was pretty limited in KOTOR because there weren't any really good guns for him to use, and he wasn't allowed to use melee weaps.
Supposition: HK-50 will be much more powerful than HK-47.
IG-88 grills all, imean how often do you find a bounty hunter robot with a pulse cannon,flame thrower and plans to kill Boba Fett AND take over the galaksy, he was even a part of the Death Star. Beat that.

Nah, Artoo is more of a Han/Lando/Boba character. A really powerful non-force-user. The one most likely to become a Droid Jedi Master is 4-LOM.

Ig 88 is pretty bad ass....but fett does fry him in the end IIRC :p
Someone mentioned whistler, now THAT is one cool droid. I cant remember what book it's in(perhaps I, Jedi), but theres a chapter or so that were *excellent* that focussed almost entirely on Whistler.... :D

If you are talking about the part where Whistler helps Gate to make some kind of escape (where from I don't remember), I think that it was Bacta War, but I could easily be mistaken.
Edit: Looking at the Unofficial Encyclopedia, it looks more likely that it was in Isard's Revenge.

I hear that I-5, the droid from the medstar series is pretty cool :D

I think he is referring to the fact that IG-88 copied his programming and uploaded it into the Death Star II, so he would be able to control it at any time (in a sense). I guess he was gonna make his move three seconds after it blew. :D

Artoo always has good luck, has abiltiy to slove difficulty in a short time so I think that ability is Force.
I think Artoo is a servant of Skywalkers'(both father and son) , a servant of knight. A servant of knight may become a knight someday, isn't it?
I had only seen the 5 movies of Starwars , nothing else.Would you please tell me who is 4-Lom?
4-LOM (
http://www.starwars.com/databank/droid/4lom/index.html) is one of the bounty hunters that Vader hires to track down the Falcon. He is partners with Zuckuss (another one of the bounty hunters that Vader hires) who is a Gand that finds people using meditation (the force IMO, but thats debateable). Eventually, 4-LOM (
http://www1.theforce.net/cuswe/entries.asp?page=4&search=123) also learns to use meditation, and has a vision of himself training to become a Jedi.
4-LOM (

(each link is different, btw)
yeah, 4-LOM(For the Love Of Money), was coolage, what a great name for a droid bounty hunter ! :D
I really enjoyed his story in "tales of the bounty hunterss"

I guess he was gonna make his move three seconds after it blew. :D NO!What happened was he and his 3 counter parts captured a driod manufactering plant and sold driods to everyone.He put an activation code where they would kill all humans.Once he sold driods to every major business and put him self into the death star.He was activating the go code when they blew him up.
