Criminy. Ya think they give out commendations for "business as usual" behavior? You think they hire droids just to sit at a desk, pushing papers around?

Exactly? And what did R2 do that was so special then? I didn't get taht from the movie at all. All I saw was a droid doing his normal duties. It is a very weird and forced scene, the commendation scene.
In the PT, he was just a suped up little pimp. Still cool though.

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!
Amazing that feat may be, but R2 remains only a droid, a droid who was at the time, doing was he was programmed and instructed to do: Maintain and repair that ship. It's a softy who gives awards to artificial intelligence for doing its job. R2 did nothing outside of what was expected of him.
