Hanging with an inflatable R2 at Force Awakens |
No doubt R2D2 is one of the franchise's most iconic and popular characters. I recently had a chance to interview a member of the St. Louis R2 Builders Group. This group is a part of the international organization and does exactly what the title implies. They build droids from the ground up. The creations are amazing. They've even made R2s for charity auctions and often taken them to children's hospitals to cheer up the patients.
As the world mourns the loss of Mr. Baker, there's comfort in knowing a character he helped bring to life will live on for generations to come. Rest in peace.
