More on R2-D2
Description from Wikipedia:
R2-D2 (called R2, or "Artoo" for short), is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe, an astromech droid. R2 is one of the only four characters - the others being Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader), Obi-Wan Kenobi, and droid companion C-3PO - to appear in all six Star Wars films. R2-D2 was played by Kenny Baker.
The original R2-D2 chassis was specially created by Australian firm Petric Engineering and was precision made to a high standard with small tolerances.. Many scenes also made use of radio controlled and CGI versions of the character.
