Remember that George wrote those lines after this happend...

Yes mate x

@@christopherstein2024 and so a robot malfunction became a pickup line.

actors: "im getting my money anyways" director: "damn this fucking druid is gonna ruin my whole career"

Funny, he doesn't look druish.

@@wizardeddas druids can shapeshift... into droids

@@RabbitConfirmed Druid. 🤣

When it comes to machinal props, you're not always going to get it right. The best thing you can do is pick yourself up, see where it went wrong and fix it. If you can't figure out the problem, call for help. That's the impression I get from these guys when they run into problems that piss off the big guys upstairs like George.

He tried to, but ran into the wall!

@- cringe comment.

Little kid having fun at the adult crew member's misfortune.

MStreppelhoff and he was never seen again!

I'm glad Kenny wasn't in that one. That would hurt even more.

Waw ! What a lucky person you are ! 🙏

Hahaha, nice quote.

Cheers mate.

Thanks. I always wondered who they were

😂

So did Frank Oz's.

That’s a very obscure and specific reference my friend

Not a waste if it's better.

Dube if it weren't for George Lucas, CGI wouldn't have become what it is today. When he was making the Prequel Trilogy, he was innovating the film industry at the same time.

Zoomer30 You know nothing about machinery and how hard it is to get things to work or about CG. None of this video showed R2 being CG. If he would have been there would be no problems, but George obviously did not want him to be. CG in these movies were awesome. You need to stay off commenting on videos like this. You hate is useless.

Hey he's a professional producer, no way someone could get to that position without being the most competent individual for the job, no way.

+john van den broek so much that he decided to not use R2 really at all.

OSD he'd talking about bb8

+Jai R. Probably easier because it relies on a single sphere for movement.

BB8 was a greensuit guy running rolling a ball.

Darth Zep Even all digital Yoda still had input from Frank Oz.

In the end, he was all CGI. It was too expensive just replacing the neck and head.

They wanted to do all digital but didn't think they would be able to do it. They were in the end.

Or maybe animatronics and robotics are incredibly difficult to create and have operate well. Derrrr! Stating that something that can be improved should have been done to the best ability _before_ failing is stupid; you have to see how something works and how it doesn't work to know how best to create the final product. Oh, and I recognize you from the Star Wars forums; you were trolling over there, too.

Hans Ollo The on set filming should have started with a final, finished and functioning R2. The idea of delivering a product that fails to do the things it needs to do is disgraceful. Ignoring and failing to address things that you *know* are going to be obstacles (like sand and door jams), putting your flawed design into full production, delivering it to the customer (the rest of the film production), and then "just seeing how something works" is laughable and that's definitely not how engineering and design works. When you design, you design with intent, not with a willy-nilly mentality. Yes, obviously throughout the process, even when you consider all of the potential problems, things can still go wrong, but things need to go wrong during planning and testing, not once you're "finished." The goal of a project such as this is to get all of those problems out of the way *before* you deliver the final product. And in this case that obviously didn't happen. Some of the primary objectives of this R2 project should have been to ensure that it can travel over sand and door jams, yet they seem to have not taken those things into consideration at all during the entire process up until when they realized that it couldn't do those things *while on set.* Then they seem to have gone back to the drawing board with the mentality of "Oh, that's what we need to do." You don't put a car on the market unless you know that it's essentially flawless in it's design and construction. You don't open up a bridge without knowing that it won't collapse. And you shouldn't deliver an R2 animatronic to the film set of a multi-million dollar production that needs to finish things according to a meticulously coordinated schedule involving thousands of people and tons of equipment without knowing that it will do the things it's supposed to do, like go over sand and door jams. So to reiterate and elaborate since you obviously didn't understand, why didn't they start filming with the latest iteration of R2? Why didn't they test and address problems before actual filming began? Why didn't they hand in a *finished* product that they *knew* satisfied all the criteria and did everything that it needed to do? Oh, and to address your comment about trolling, I don't belong to any Star Wars forums, so I guess jokes on you.

Because they weren't on location before filming.

No the actor is CGI

.....that's what you cared about in the prequels. R2 and CPO being in it..... That was one of the hight point! What about the romance between Padme and Anakin! That was terrible worst romance ever! What about jar jar! He sucked! What about the wooden dialogue!

Also R2 and CPO are in episode 7 and it's great! My ranking for the Star Wars movies from worst to best is 2 1 3 4 7 5 6

And yes the prequels sucked but not beacause of R2 and CPO

ThatPixelatedGamer Hahha, oh I so agree on all of that! However, I had not thought there was any problem at all with R2 & 3PO until I was watching this. Quite honestly yes in watching the prequels, they are the least offensive part! But even my two favorite droids were obviously shoehorned into the prequels (cuz George knew we'd like it).

ThatPixelatedGamer Wow...that's very close to how I'd stack them - but switch 4 and 6, and put 5 as the best, because a few cheesy things started creeping into 6. I hope 7 holds up to multiple viewings, I've only seen it once, but it sure seems like it will.

fearghall allonby There is not cgi R-2D2. Did you not see people working on it? Please learn what CGI is before you comment.

I don't think you know what CGI means buddy 😄

ClassicSpace-Guy Please take time to learn how to make useful comments. Not giving a reason why you don't like something is useless.
