Ya, then the queen & captain practically held a parade for R2. Oh, ya, just business as usual for astrodroids.
Man you couldn't be more wrong.
You saw the commendation scene with your own eyes. Isn't that good enough for you to prove to you Artoo was smarter and more heroic than your average droid? What Artoo did was incredible. It was above and beyond. It shocked pilot Ric Olie. Lucas just proved to you in Artoo's opening scene what an great droid Artoo is, and you do nothing but mock it.
By simple logic it was presented to you that Artoo was an extraordinary droid. The other droids might have stuck to their original programming to fix the air conditioning or the gravimetric compensators. Not R2! He saved the ship by fixing the shields, something none of the passengers or crew expected!
For crying out loud, Artoo's a hero!

It's a softy who gives awards to artificial intelligence for doing its job. R2 did nothing outside of what was expected of him.
