Ep3+ hasn't occured yet, so if we are watching the Clone Wars as a current event, R2's future uses are irrelevant. The point is, if we remove names and importance, we are watching one of the greatest Jedi in the Order chase after an astromech droid, in the middle of a galaxy spanning war, where Jedi are being killed, clones are being wiped out, planets are being enslaved, the Sith are a known threat, Durge/Ventress/Grievous are out messing stuff up and civilian lives are at stake. The only added emphasis on finding R2 is that he holds some important information in his memory.The Clone Wars is meant to be one of the biggest events in Star Wars, and we are missing out on all the important factors in making it the event it should be, because we are watching very small, isolated events that - in the scale of the war - are insignificant. Even as wsa said before, 'The Republic has been suffereing crippling defeats', we have missed those defeats and are instead being shown smaller character driven stories.
I was just joking
... I didn't like the episode much... the story was.. . meh, I dont't know
... something like "Malevolence", had an impact or at least it was an important matter to the war... or having character driven stories (much better written) that focus on other characters other than the usual (I think Rookies is the best episode so far) it's what the show needs...
btw: there's the fact that Grievous has a spy within the republic forces (that's how he knows when and where to strike), that is relevant to the present war, and that info was given in this episode... care to guess who?
It's not just about Anakin finding R2, but what he holds inside... it just that the way the episode's been written makes it look that way
... and after that we got Jedi Knight Jar Jar

Yep, his name was mentioned a few times in interviews, and he is in the show credits somewhere.
I haven't heard anything about Durge, but I'm really looking forward to having him in the show
