    Except they made a point of saying on multiple occasions that R2 avoided being wiped, even when 3PO was. That was partially to explain his eccentricities

      This was specifically to protect Luke / Leia from Anakin though, and was a voluntary choice on R2’s part (which is in of itself a sign of his eccentric behavior since he’s possessed of far more free will than typical of droids? IDK that might be giving the writers way too much credit).
