Before Star Wars, R2-D2 and C-3PO get up to some hijinks and in typical sassy droid fashion end up in some pretty awful places dealing with unsavory characters as only the prissy C-3PO and plucky R2-D2 can. Good fun and the Romeo and Juliet-esque Protocol Offensive issue was really quite pretty.

The stories were fun if not dramatic. Bearing in mind I've only watched the movies and read none of the books, here are a couple things I enjoyed:
A deeper look at the personalities of R2 and C3PO and their relationship. C3PO actually acknowledges his close friendship with R2D2! I get it now, they are like Bert and Ernie or Felix and Oscar.
The different art styles. The first couple stories are drawn with a really terse style with solid coloring. The last one seems like it's colored using pencil or some style of painting to produce a wash effect.
The backstory in general. I'm not sure if it's canon, but I enjoy seeing that characters I am familiar with have had lives outside of the "main" story, like Wide Sargasso Sea or Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.
