Star Wars: Inside R2-D2
Рет қаралды 132,389
2 жыл бұрынThis is a technical 3D animation of R2-D2. Enjoy!
The original R2-D2 was designed by George Lucas and legendary artist Ralph McQuarrie, who drew inspiration from the cartoon series Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
Several R2-D2 models were built for the original Star Wars films; one that was remotely controlled and traveled on three-wheeled legs, and others that were worn by English actor Kenny Baker.
R2-D2 stands for Second Generation Robotic Droid Series-2 and has appeared in eleven of the twelve Star Wars films to date. Astromechs are used in various starfighters as onboard flight support and can operate in the vacuum of space.
R2-D2 was one of several astromech droids on Queen Padmé during the invasion of Naboo by the Trade Federation.
The astromech droid was manufactured by Industrial Automaton with masculine programming.

@@tringalij I have never looked at it from this point of view, but if I do, I would change the bar into an auditorium in which thousands of listeners are focused on talking about R2D2. But I remind you that he hung up for some years, so he could not know what was happening at that time, ... well, with C3P0, he later told him everything he knew. In my opinion, someone should make a copy of R2's entire memory, just in case.

R2 deserves his popularity. I've lost count of the neat and emotional lore tid bits of his story. One more emotional post pointed out that R2 both watched Laih be born in episode 3 and watched her pass away in episode 9. The camera angle and lighting was able to imply sad emotions in that very last screenshot of R2 and Laih.

R2D2 is made-up and filled with pure excellence! I remember seeing him and C3PO on screen like it was yesterday. They were our introduction to the Star Wars universe in A New Hope. Both C3PO and R2D2 are like childhood friends. With all the new AI being developed I have hopes for a real life R2D2 robot being produced that mimics everything that the "real" R2D2 can do (minus all of his weapons and his boosting thrusters of course).

Easy to find footage is in ROTJ when he launches Luke's saber to him near the sarlac pit. I'm pretty sure he had a cable launcher and a body mounted arc welder that he attempted to zap a monkey with. His feet were capable of being magnetized too.

some of the other cool things that a R2 unit could do was to have it's head detached when there wasn't room for the whole R2 without lose of it's brain. The other is that R2D2 (I'm not sure about the others) could extend it's "neck" to fit in a slot that was too tall for him like when he was in the Naboo fighter. I love how the creators thought through those little details that few would even think about! The biggest question I'd love to ask George Lucas is if R2D2 never had a memory wipe, why hasn't he ran out of data storage? Did R2 have to go in to the shop every so often and get an upgrade to his hard drives? I'd also want to ask, why didn't R2 tell anyone that Vader was Anikin, wasn't R2 aware of what was going on?
@Halfscreen 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I knew about it but decided not to animate the detached head and why wasn't his memory wipe, I'm assuming George Lucas probably avoid this subject matter.

with Halloween here in the U.S. it could have been fitting to have a headless R2 unit running around. ;P thinking about the memory issue, what if the Star Wars universe had figured out quantum computers? That way they would be able to store data at the atomic scale instead of the nano scale that we use today. Yes I'm over thinking fiction but I find it fun and good for the mind.
