How do people Understand Droids in Star Wars?🤔

[DavelexH]

That makes sense why Cal can speak to BD1 since he was a scrapper for most of his life

It's a lot like how you can start to understand what your pets are trying to communicate to you. You just get to know them and pay attention.

Chopper is the one droid in Star Wars that speaks binary and the words are so clear that you can almost hear them

[shirakuyanai]

I'm pretty sure most of you already know this but there's a deleted scene from ROTS where Anakin literally speaks droid language. It's hilarious af. 😂

[fadinglight]

Chopper is like the only astromech you can understand. Once you pick up on the rhythm, it's almost like muffled English. He swears a lot btw

[MJowon]

I can understand what R2 d2 saying sometimes if you listen close enough

[corditesniffer]

Seeing that clip of the pit droid kicking Jar Jar in the nads ALWAYS makes me laugh 😂😂😂 ah man

[Farfigschiter.]

"010110101? What does it mean?"

"Its just a bunch of gibberish. *Gasp* 101011010! I gotta get outta here!"

Rey didn’t get an education and she spent like 2 years with a droid

[jonaspen]

i remember that one deleted scene where anakin just starts making droid noises

[DaemonwarriorJulius]

That last part is not too accurate since Luke also understands R2 without the built in translator of the X wing. That's likely only because of the fact that sound is not conveyed in space and R2 is docked to the Droid socket of the X wing.

in jedi survivor, in the first mission BD-1 beeps at bode and bode says, he doesn't understand binary

[gnbman]

Anakin could _sort of_ understand Artoo. We see him debating the mean of Artoo's "words" with Obi-Wan in a deleted scene from Episode III. (I don't know if the cartoon retconned that; it's dubiously canon in my personal Star Wars canon. Everybody has their own personal canon, based on what they like or could do without.)

Rey can fluently speak droid and Wookiee and probably every other language because she's not a character and is instead a template for young fans to project themselves upon, like Bella in the Twilight series, and thus has the superpower of *meta* in her arsenal. She can interact with the Star Wars universe literally without any limitation because her abilities come, not from her in-universe history and experience, but from marketability and branding.

At this point I straight up understand every beep from the droids in Star Wars, it’s so clear and obvious what they are saying, despite me not actually being able to understand what it is they are saying. Kinda like how I can understand my dog through her body language, barking, and other random noises.

[michaelclarke]

Pretty sure Luke can also understand Binary too, but the only reason he was using that screen was because he can’t hear R2-D2 due to the vacuum of space that separates the droid from the cockpit.

Weird place to put the emPHASis, my dude

[sonicguyver]

I love Chopper's binary. He puts a lot of feeling into those noises. And I love that cackle he does when he's making trouble.

[zaydenrizzo]

Chopper in ahsoka, he’s pretty understandable. Could have a chopper series with just him and I’d understand that shi

[ADHDummy]

Fun fact Lucas mad sure that R2-D2 was actually saying something unique in this language for all 6 films he made

When Disney took over they shit all over this legacy by using recordings from other movies. The time I spent learning the language completely invalided

[enderslime]

I always wanted to speak in beeps and whistles like R2-D2
