There isn't much need for a recruitment drive for a war fought with clone troopers, but an unusual candidate tries to enlist anyway. Written for Fandom Empire Prompt Tables 2024 - Prompt: "Useful"

Based on this post I made a while ago.

Excerpt:

“Think you scrapbuckets are lost,” the recruiter grumbled. If ever a droid could be said to look taken aback, it would certainly describe this protocol droid. “Pardon me,” it said, “but the plaque outside indicated this was the Galactic Armed Forces Enlistment Center?” “That it is.” “Oh!” the droid sounded relieved. “We are in the right place, then. I am C-3PO, and my companion,” it gestured at the astromech, “is R2-D2, who insists he has a matter of great importance to discuss with you.” The recruiter just stared blankly at the droids as C-3PO turned to R2-D2 and continued, “Now, what is this mysterious matter you brought me here to relay to this gentleman? Don’t take too long; I’m sure he’s very busy and doesn’t have all day to talk to us!” R2-D2 whirred and chirped. C-3PO opened its mouth to translate, then abruptly cut off before even beginning, and whirled on his companion. “R2-D2, that’s absurd! You cannot enlist in the army!”

RD-D2: Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, did you say something?

Grogu: R2...

I know I've said this before, but THIS will truly be my undoing. 😭 The universe CAN'T be so cruel as to serve us with images like this and NOT have Tenoch become a part of the franchise. 'Bout to start a petition drive my damn self.
