I could never understand why they didn’t just throw a speech module into R2-D2.
Cause all those beeps were cussing.
I don’t think he understood binary during a New Hope. C3PO has to translate for R2 when they first meet.
Also he reads what R2 says via a screen in his X wing in ESB. I don’t think he understands binary until at least RotJ. Maybe he got bored in mechanical hand physical therapy and also studied droidspeak.
I doubt he got bored. That mechanical hand probably felt like someone else’s until the nerves fully adjusted.
