      Eh, I’d say R2-D2 doesn’t count as a “man” at all, being neither human nor clearly gendered in any way.

        C-3P0, our translator for R2’s boopspeak uses he/him pronouns for the little guy and so does at least Luke so he’s effectively masc presenting. One could argue he’s a man but the society he’s in effectively classes sentient droids as property without the reserve they do for non-artificial species and are unlikely to confer the other cultural aspects “manhood” onto a droid.

      I don’t know about feeling “safe” with Han, but unsafe in a good way. Like I trust him but not myself. Artoo could probably plug in and fix the elevator, too.

        I’m old school. He didn’t make it out of the first movie.

        If I grew up with prequels, then yeah. Chewie as well if I could fit a fourth.
