This must be his friend artoo-blowme :lol:

R2-Q5 would be a cool custom to make (he's the one on the right!).

That droid must be enormous, it's as big as that bloke! :wink:

 

[01AB]

It is , the bloke who's controlling him (the droid!), you can see his head sticking out the top, must be at least 2 meters, especially as the bloke on the left is Peter Mayhew!!!

I'd have loved to have been privy to the meeting where they discussed how they were going to bring the R2-D2 character to life:

Prop guy: "George, we could spend $30 million dollars on a state of the art animatronic droid."

Lucas: "Hmmm, the studio won't like that."

Prop guy: "Or we could just stuff a midget in a painted trash can."

Lucas "Sounds good."

Prop guy: "While I'm on a roll, you know those furry creatures you want for the third film?

Random story...

When I was at Uni (BA hons in Fine Art) I did my dissertation (10000 words!) on 'Is Star Wars the greatest work of art ever?' (most other people were writing about 'use of form and colour in expresionist europe 1890-1910' and other pretentiousness).
During this time I lived in a town in Surrey where several midgets happend to live and I thought I recognised one of them as Kenny 'R2' Baker, I looked in the local phone book and couldnt believe my luck when I discovered a 'K Baker' lived locally.
I worked in a local supermarket on a saturady and knew that within a couple of weeks I'd bump into this individual, I could then interview him for my essay.
A short while later, there he was with his equally small wife and I ran up to him shouting 'are you the bloke that played R2-D2 in Star Wars?'...

He told me to '**** off'...

I didnt even think to ask if he was Mr Baker, and I failed my essay as it was ****.
