Talk:R2-D2/Legends

Can we please do something on a little problem?

 * I think we should make 'R2' redirect to 'R2-D2', will someone please do that?
 * I think it's ok like it is, because R2 alone has more to do with the R2-serie that with R2-D2 Lytcha Lauma 1:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Additions
Great work Aidje! This provides a great overview for R2-D2. Now we can continue to fill in his participation in other adventures, which, as with all Heroes of Yavin, is extensive. --SparqMan 19:27, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I couldn't leave the poor little guy to be doomed. You certainly deserve some of the credit for making that ugly yellow thing. :-) (I like those colors, actually&mdash;they match 3PO. I'm sure you know what I mean, though.) – Aidje talk 19:46, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Painfully unfunny vandilism?
Those features happened to be used in the Droids cartoon. Is that show not canon or something? --24.247.124.158
 * They are? My apologies man. It looked like someone had come in and made up a laod of stuff, which has been happening a lot today. Apologies again. Durnar 17:24, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think Droids is canon, as Admiral Screed is used on the Holonet News website. And Hosk Station was also present, until it was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong. Though I'm personally supportive of it being non-canon. The New Jedi Order, not the Droids cartoon. User:SFH
 * Once again, why have these features been deleted? Do I have to put a link to StarWars.com in the article to prove my point?

Shouldn't New Jedi order be added to R2's affiliaion's

Shouldn't New Jedi order be added to R2's affiliation's?

Appearances
OK, who is it that keeps coming along and reordering the appearances on articles so that the films come first?!? Someone needs to correct this. Adamwankenobi 11:33, 12 February 2006 (UTC)


 * What about EU appearances? In the Marvel Comics series R2's been disassembled (SW 67), blasted and almost scrapped for parts (SW 26), and single-handedly saved the entire Rebel Fleet from melting in the Arbran sun (SW 58), among significant examples. Should mention be made of these events in his History?Tocneppil 01:23, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Quote
Mildly amusing though it may be, can't we find a better quote for this? It's freakin' Artoo! CooperTFN 04:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I added a 2nd quote ("Artoo, why do you have to be so brave?") in the Galatic Civil War section. Move it to the top if you like.  -Finlayson 02:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Delving into R2's Memory Banks
It would be interesting to add a section exploring the fact that R2's memory of the events of the prequels was never wiped. I believe a recent novel dealt with R2 revealing some of his knowledge about this time to Luke and Leia. (I'm making this note as a reminder to myself as much as a suggestion to others.) --Briareos 20:49, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It is in there, in the Post Galactic Civil War section. Also, it wasn't just a single novel, but the whole of the Dark Nest Trilogy. -- SFH 20:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I missed that bit when skimming the article. I did a little digging and found on my own that the interactions with R2 and Luke are in the Dark Nest novels. --Briareos 21:06, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Holonet
Can anyone point me to the HoloNet article that explains why R2 couldn't use his rockets in the OT? It needs to be listed in the sources. Adamwankenobi 04:10, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

He never needed or had the time to use the rocket boosters. Why would he use them in tatooine, inside of the falcon, death star, lukes x-wing, Hoth, Dabobah(well they could be handy at the lake), Bespin, Endor.
 * he could have jetted over to the floaty-boaty (i forgot its name)thing instead of tubleing off

Breakdancing!?

 * O.K. We've got to get a pic of that for the site -or better yet, a clip! lol:DTocneppil 10:03, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * As it isn't canon, shouldn't it be deleted? --Quidon88 01:52, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That section needs to be reworded, as it is obviously confusing (and not very encyclopedic, since it ends with an ellipses). Of course the cartoon is canon. It is just that the movement is very exaggerated. Of course Artoo can't stretch or bend, but there is no reason he can't breakdance. -- Ozzel 05:27, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

scroll box
can somebody please put the scroll box back on because there are just too many appearances to not have one. Ugluk: Destroyer of Redlinks 13:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. -- I need a name 13:53, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

How old is R2?
I've noticed that R2 has been around since 32 BBY. If he's not destroyed by today, about 41 ABY, that means he's over 73 years old. Will r2 ever reach his centennial year? 75.46.26.64 23:22, 24 September 2006 (UTC), an anony.


 * Where did he come from? Was he built on naboo?
 * I don't know if he ever put it into official canon status, but I remember George saying something about the droids being hundreds of years old. There's also something about how the "Long ago . . ." in the opening crawl of the films was tied into those events being told from the perspective of one of the droids. Its either a throw-away line Lucas used in an interview, or from the Skywalking biography, I think.Tocneppil 22:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The Journal of the Whills ties into this. As for his age, if he was still around in 140 ABY, and we took his age at the time period of the Legacy comics, and assumed he was recently built in 32 BBY, then he would be around 170 years old, but that's only if he survived that long. He appears to malfunction during the Swarm War. -- Riffsyphon1024 22:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well HK-47 made it past the trimillennial mark, so who knows... DAWUSS 03:42, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Extra owners?
What is the source on these listed owners: "Stigrit Krax, Larka Nimondro, Lott Kemp, Jost Ellon, Vik Idd and Nikki Idd, King Gokus, Quist, Prince Jagoda, and Tyne"? And if there are sources, they should be on the list below, too. --JMM 01:16, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * For some reason those names in the article weren't links before. Anywho, I fixed that and found that we have articles on three of them. Stigrit Krax and Larka Nimondro are from The Protocol Offensive, and Quist is from Tatooine Manhunt. I know for a fact that Jost Ellon and Lott Kemp are from the first issue of the Marvel Droids series, and I figure that the rest of those names are probably from later Marvel Droids comics. -- Ozzel 22:32, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Lots of them come from his and 3PO's entries in the NEG to Characters. Cutch 23:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Abilities controversy section
I don't know that there's actually a need to mention Artoo "lifting himself" into Luke's X-wing in ESB. How do we know that Luke didn't do the lifting? That kind of thing isn't exactly difficult for a Jedi. Red XIV 08:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * That's right! And Luke does lift Artoo during his training on Dagobah.Tocneppil 06:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * and artoo doesnt seem pleased that first time :)86.112.203.204 17:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * actually, in Star wars: the ultimate visual Dictionary, in 'artoo expanded', it says that the company that made his rocket boosters was shut down after the founding of the Empire. And later, Artoo's boosters were damaged, and the replacement parts weren't availible. Alpha X 01:22, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Flaw in owners
In Star Wars IV, C-3PO says that captian Antilles is the last owner before Luke skywalker.
 * If you read the entries you see that they were returned to Captain Antilles immediately before going on to the Jawas. Vryce 00:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Obi's amnesia
How come Obi-Wan don't remember R2-D2 in ep 4 and neither does Yoda in ep 5? Gustafar 17:43, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yoda would have no reason to remember Artoo. And if you remember, Obi-Wan didn't hold a very high opinion of droids. And one R2 unit looks pretty much like the next, with maybe a different color scheme. There really is no reason to assume he would remember, especially since nobody refers to him as R2-D2 or even Artoo. - JMAS 18:06, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Guess it makes sense what you're saying. But R2 did save his life a few times. Gustafar 15:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

R2-D2 is the best!
R2 is one of my favorite characters. Does anyone not like him?

I agree. He is my favorite droid, which automaticly makes him #1 on my top ten favorite characters list.

R2 ROX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R2 not so trusting?
How come Artoo seem's so mistrusting of Yoda in Ep 5? I know he probably didn't know him that well but still he should have at least realised that he's not a bandit or something.203.53.167.180 10:50, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
