I am speaking of the astromechs used as flight computers. I bought one of these things when I got my Jedi starfighter, and as I am a Freelance Pilot I have had no prior experience with one. I tried pulling him out and naming him using the usualy programming method of having the name at the beginning of each command until he "gets it". However, I ended up programming every command with the same name, Arfive, at the beginning, and it didn't take. I noticed that there are several commands missing that, while they DO have commands attached to them (i.e. to make him attack I say "attack"), I cannot bind another command to it. I was thinking this might perhaps be what is stopping him from taking the name, but I just wanted to make sure and see if I wasn't doing anything wrong. Can an astromech be names, or shall he forver remain "an R5 unit"?
