Certainly. Added to the crowner.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
Avatars may be subject to change without notice.
R2 doesn't look like he's "commanding droids" in the image named for that. It looks more like they are trying to ambush him. If we go with a collage, I would prefer that part be left out.
That said, I think the picture of him repairing a complex mechanism is enough on its own.

If you want a different collage (or perhaps a vertical one) feel free to put that in the crowner.
C 3 P 0 is also the smart guy. He speaks the language of moisture vaporators, can apparently pilot any vehicle in the entire Star Wars universe, is the voice of reason when people get all crazy, has successfully bluffed imperials on multiple occasions (making him at least smarter than Han), is a skilled storyteller, gives sound advice regarding wookiees and winning, and is apparently at least a fair hand at improvising repairs on the Falcon. He's also The Drag-Along.

Most of that is not from the movies (which we are depicting here) and most of that is not the trope "The Smart Guy" either.
I am firmly and strongly in the "C3PO is smart, but he doesn't fit The Smart Guy" camp. But, compromise?: both droids form kind of an amalgamated The Smart Guy for the rest of the protagonists. An okay image would show both of them. Check! A good image would show both of them in a way that says something about the trope The Smart Guy. Hm...
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
R 2 D 2 is barely even a character by himself.
Why can I not find a still of R2 successfully hacking the Cloud City computer?

If both are an amalgamate of sorts, then Star Wars is not a Five-Man Band any more.
It wasn't to begin with. Smile and nod.

Hi
Time to call this one. Can someone upload the winner and put it on the page? Also, caption or no?
Five-Man Band actually specifies that some flexibility exists. Having two characters fulfill one role, but clearly the designated role, is fair game.

Would it be possible to get a collage of those options, to show off Artoo's skillset?
