The first one is absolutely not canon, as it was from a comic called Skippy the Jedi Droid that was non-canon even as far as canon went during Legends.
The second one is what happens during the short story The Red One in From A Certain Point of View, which I think is technically canon short stories following minor characters during the events of A New Hope.
Star Wars CCG, and I have practically all of the cards.
Back in 1995, before the Special Edition, Decipher Inc. who made the game said that the lore on the cards are officially licensed Lucasfilm lore. You can find this source in the original rule book if you can find it.
Fun fact: the Owen Lars card states that he is the brother of Obi-Wan.

I still have the star wars card game from forever ago, the one that was a magic the gathering type game.
I have the R5 card and in the description of the Droid it says it blew the motivator on purpose to help.
Not sure if that's supposed to be cannon but it matches what you said.
