Fantastic News!

 

[TC-14]

Seconded!

And great news for the two UK based droid building club members who get to build the little fella and look after his upkeep throughout the filming- nice work if you can get it

Kathleen said during her talk in Essen that their R2D2's were better built and detailed than the ones used in the movies previously.

I'll bet this new, sturdy looking astromech won't be exiting stage left when it was supposed to be going in the opposite direction :wink:

 

[Rebel_Runner]

Great news. Wouldn't be Star Wars without R2D2. Wonder if that means we'll see C3PO make an appearance too?

I make a great cuppa, so if they're looking for someone to make the tea on set them I'm their man :lol:

This is exciting. The picture is of course fake but it's still exciting to hear that they are actually bothering to build props, ships and sets again.

Looks like 3PO has lost his gold. Could this be a hint at a dirtier, grittier era to come?
