At the time Droids was created, George Lucas hadn't worked out the details of the prequels, so there is now a serious conflict with the ending of Episode III. After the death of Padmé, the droids are placed in the care of Captain Antilles, aboard the Tantive IV Blockade Runner. Antilles is cited as still being their owner by C3PO in Episode IV, and indeed they open the movie as still being part of the Tantive crew. This places the entire Droids cartoon series outside the official canon. This marks one of the few large scale errors in an otherwise largely cohesive universe created by Gorge Lucas.
