Hating on the driods is en vogue right now, so people do it. They've never been my favorite part, but they dont bother me either.
Having said that - they were completely shoe horned into this movie as a fan service/keeping them in every movie. I have to think there was a better way to do that
They could've just been on the Tantive with Leia
The droids are in 5 out of 7 final shots this would've been the 8th that way.
