Warning! Spoilers ahead for Doctor Aphra #22

The latest issue of Doctor Aphra sees Star Wars teasing the return of R2-D2 and C-3PO's evil twins. Having been taken over by a dark supernatural force rivaling the power of the Sith, the mind of rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Aphra is an open book to the sentient force known as the Spark Eternal.

While they were activated to initially serve Darth Vader himself, the two droids would join Doctor Aphra in her adventures after she faked her own death to escape her own servitude to the Dark Lord of the Sith. However, the droids have been noticeably absent in Aphra's current comics series taking place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
