  • Was among the passengers on Millennium Falcon
  • Interacted with (dialog)
    Dialog transcript
    Chewbacca and the two droids sit around the dejarik table, Chewbacca seems very pleased with himself as he rests his lanky fur-covered arms over his head.
    C-3PO
    Now be careful, Artoo.
    Artoo immediately reaches up and taps the computer with his manipulator, causing one of the holographic creatures to walk to the new square. A sudden frown crosses Chewbacca's face and he begins yelling in Shyriiwook at R2. Threepio intercedes on behalf of his small companion and begins to argue with the huge Wookiee.
    C-3PO
    He made a fair move. Screaming about it won't help you.
    Han Solo
    Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookiee.
    C-3PO
    But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid.
    Han Solo
    That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their socket when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.
    C-3PO
    I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, Artoo. Let the Wookiee win.

Summary
R2-D2 was an R2-series astromech droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton prior to 32 BBY. Resourceful and spunky, the droid developed an adventurous personality during his many decades of operation. Inside of his cylindrical frame were many arms, sensors, and other tools that could be extended to fulfill various needs, such as slicing computers, extinguishing fires, projecting holograms, repairing starships, and flying. Along with his counterpart, the protocol droid C-3PO, R2-D2 constantly found himself directly involved in pivotal moments of galactic history. His bravery, coupled with his many gadgets, played large roles in saving the galaxy time and time again for more than a century.
