Your comment brings me to a HUGE problem I have.
I have beef with another droid of significance. I was totally on board with BB-8: New characters need a new droid, design was totally inspired but new real world tech that wasn't available before and he worked great even if he stepped on R2's toes a little.
Not having the 3 cast together at SOME point was totally tragic but all 3 of these have separated 3PO and R2. I can't even find R2 in the trailer but this new stupid D-0 gimmick is right there with 3PO. R2-D2 and C-3PO are a duo. They work best together. Now splitting them off for a bit or a movie but c'mon! These 2 are the story tellers of all of Star Wars!
It's like Arndt had this idea for a plot device of making people yearn for what they remembered and Abrams and Kennedy decided that was a good for keeping people interested. Problem is they've backed themselves in a situation to where they can't cash in now.
