R2-D2 (also spelled Artoo-Detoo, called R2 for short), is an astromech droid and colleague of C-3PO in the fictional Star Wars universe. R2-D2 was played by Kenny Baker in all five Star Wars films, with many scenes filmed using mechanical versions of the character.
In The Phantom Menace, R2-D2 is a droid belonging to the Naboo, and helps fix Queen Amidala's starshipThis article is about the vehicle for interstellar travel. Starship was also a mid- 1980s name for a follow-on to the band Jefferson Airplane. There is also an aircraft known as the Beechcraft Starship . A starship is a spaceship designed for interstellar as it attempts to get past the Trade Federation Blockade. Later, R2 becomes part of Qui-Gon JinnLiam Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn. Qui-Gon Jinn (92 BBY 32 BBY) was a Jedi Master and Master of Obi-Wan Kenobi in the fictional Star Wars universe. Qui-Gon is played by Liam Neeson in The Phantom Menace''. He doesn't appear in other films, unless one counts his's party in TatooineIn George Lucas's Star Wars saga, Tatooine is the home planet of the Skywalker family and the setting for much of the action in the saga's films (as well as several of the novels and other pieces of written fiction). The planet is not actually named in St and meets See-Threepio and Anakin SkywalkerAnakin Skywalker is a fictional character from Star Wars''. Anakin is played in the films by Jake Lloyd as a child, Hayden Christensen as a young adult, and Sebastian Shaw as a dying, elderly (and redeemed) person. The name "Anakin" means "warrior. Anakin. Later, he serves as Anakin's personal astromech droid on the attack on the Trade FederationThe Trade Federation is a fictional organization that exists in the Star Wars universe at the time of the Galactic Republic. It was founded in 350 BBY. Shortly before The Phantom Menace Nute Gunray became the viceroy of the Trade Federation. He was manipu Droid Control ship.
Ten years later, in Attack of the Clones R2 is now in Senator Padmé Amidala's posession, and accompanies Anakin and Padmé to Naboo and then Tatooine when her life is threatened. Here, he is reunited with C-3PO, and the two get into various misadventures on GeonosisGeonosis is a fictional planet from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. It is the home planet of the Geonosians, and the site of the Battle of Geonosis. Geonosis is ruled by Poggle the Lesser. The planet was located less than one parsec from Tatoo. He is later present at Anakin and Padme's wedding.
Presumably in Revenge of the Sith R2-D2 will probably get his memory wiped or altered, and possibly end up in the possession of the Royal House of Alderaan.
In A New Hope both R2-D2 and C-3PO are on board a blockade runner vessel belonging to Princess Leia of Alderaan when they come under attack by Darth Vader's Star Destroyer. Leia slips R2-D2 a disc containing a distress message and the plans for the Death Star battle station.
Once on the planet, R2 and 3PO are stolen by Jawas and bought by Luke Skywalker, who discovers the hidden message. Luke seeks the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, and Chewbacca, and they attempt to deliver R2-D2 to the Rebel Alliance. Along the way, they are captured by the Death Star, but eventually escape. R2-D2 delivers the plans to the alliance, and becomes Luke's astromech droid during the attack on the station. R2 is severely damaged during the battle, but is restored by the Awards ceremony at the end of the film.
In The Empire Strikes Back R2 accompanies Luke to Dagobah and later to Cloud City, where he helps to rescue and repair a heavily damaged See-Threepio. He also manages to fix the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive, resulting in a last-minute escape from the Empire.
In Return Of The Jedi R2-D2 participates in the rescue of Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, and later joins the Rebel strike team on Endor. He helps to bring down the deflector shield so the fleet can destroy the new Death Star.
