Speculation
It has been speculated that R2-D2 may have related the tale of the Skywalkers to a Shaman of the Whills some one hundred years after the fall of the Empire, around 104 ABY. This theory is based on a single comment from George Lucas which is mentioned on page 72 of The Making of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith: George remarks to Rob Coleman that the story of Star Wars is actually recounted by R2-D2... one hundred years after Return of the Jedi. Whether a single remark constitutes canon is a subject of much debate.
