"Astromechs can think creatively. You will find they are immensely superior to clone Stormtroopers," the Naboo Prime Minister said. "You mentioned Splice acceleration?" asked Luke "Yes. Without it a droid would take weeks to build. Now by using one, it can reprogram others in half the time," Jayna Ors, the Droid designer explained. "And who is the one?" Luke enquired. "An old Astromech by the name of R2-D2. Apart from his pay which is considerable, R2 demanded only one thing. To be assigned to protect Princess Leia. Curious don't you think?" the Prime Minister postulated. "I would very much like to meet this R2D2," Luke said, waving his hand in the air. "I would be very happy to arrange that for you," Jayna Ors suddenly replied. The three walked to the observation platform at the top the Naboo Hangar Bay, overlooking the majestic valley below. Usually a prime spot to gaze upon the gorgeous Lakes of Theed and the greenery below, today it offered a sight of great galactic importance. Tens of thousands of Astromechs rolled in formations of 50, each falling into neat orderly squares. Every platoon was led by a Protocol Droid of different colours - gold, red, blue and so forth. Luke observed as these Battle Astromechs rolled into large Imperator class Destoyers currently occupying the vast plains below. "Magnificent, aren't they?" the Naboo Prime Minister said, gesticulating below. Luke placed his hands on the railing in awe at the spectacle below. He slowly nodded. "Yes. Indeed they are powerful as my Master has foreseen. Most impressive." The Jedi Knight turned and made his way back to his ship. R2D2 had been busy indeed.

He was an astromech but he still became friends with one of us. K2SO: he became friends with a protocol droid? C3PO: indeed. R2D2 valued his friendship so much that to save his companion from captivity he killed 100's of humans and droids. The protocol droid was angered by his actions and decided to deactivate his own friend. The astromechs have powers some consider to be... unnatural. K2SO: interesting C3PO: ironic. R2D2 could go to any lengths to save his companion. But his companion could go to any lengths to destroy him.

That poor guy saw his friends blown up by the federation, joined the jedi, fought alongside clones, Anakin and Ahsoka, watched Anakin turn to the dark side, clones he fought alongside with betraying the Jedi, saw Padme die, got separated from Obi Wan for almost 20 years, his best friend 3PO got his memory wiped, saw Obi Wan get killed by Anakin, probably was saddened when Anakin died on Endor, left with Luke to form the new Jedi Order only to watch it all burn to the ground, watched Luke turn into a hermit, had to go into low power mode aka coma, lost Han, and possibly watched Luke die or knew he died.

this reminds me of that scene in episode 3, if you count all the droids Anakin and Kenobi destroyed in the hanger then go to the scene were the ship is turned on its side you will notice about 50 extra droids piled up just in that small shot, and since you can't see the super battle droids we know R2D2 destroyed we know there off screen, not to mention the droids Anakin and Kenobi's kill were spreed out so not all of them will fall in the shot, not forgetting that not all R2D2 kills will fall in the shot ether means if you measure the side of the hanger, R2D2 kill hundreds of droids off screen on that ship alone while Anakin and Kenobi was trying to reach Palpatine.
