Anakin’s Eta-2 Starfighter: Why no crew power love for R2?!
Just like Poe not getting BB8 love. Both of those droids played integral parts of the co-piloting of those ships - much more than Chopper ever did with the Phantom II. Seems silly.

Technically, the droids on the Delta fighters is only the head unit of the R2 Astro Mechs. R2 can’t fit in the ship as the slot really does not exist.
The newer late Clone Wars ETAs definitely held full bodied Astro Mechs. But R2 also piloted Naboo Starfighter with little Annie, Anakin’s ETA, Red 5, and Yoda’s personal ETA fighter, and other craft. Limiting him to Anakin’s ETA would lessen the value to a future Red 5. I do feel BB-8 should be crew for Poe’s X-wing. Precedent was set with K2 in Cassian’s U-Wing and Chopper in Phantom 2.
