C3P0 clearly belongs to Anakin. Altho why a slave boy would waste his time and spare pennies building a 6-million-language protocol droid for his mother is a mystery. Did they host a lot of foreign diplomats? I mean before the queen of Naboo stopped by. In episodes 2 and 3, the robots trade places. C3P0 starts hanging around Padme which, really, is only natural; Lucas should have made C3P0 part of her entourage all along , and R2D2 starts hanging out with Anakin in his space-fighter battles which, likewise, makes much more sense; Anakin could have built R2 to help him pilot his pod in the pod races.
Since Padme and Anakin get married, we can assume that the robots are held in common. But R2 gets to keep his memory for some reason. What implications does that have for the later episodes? At the end of episode 3, both Padme and Anakin are dead or assumed to be. And both robots are given to Captain Antilles by Senator Organa.
However, they were ambushed by a super tactical droid who led several battle droid reinforcements. While Gascon and U9-C4 opened fire on the battle droids, R2-D2 tussled with the super tactical droid. R2's remains, located after the Carida Incident. Meanwhile, R2-D2 gained the upper hand over the tactical droid and managed to reprogram the detonator, causing the rhydonium to explode prematurely and destroy the Star Destroyer.
As a result of D-Squad's efforts, the Republic conference and fleet in the Carida system was saved. While Gascon believed that R2-D2 had perished during the struggle, Skywalker refused to believe this was so and sent salvage teams to scour the wreckage. They managed to retrieve R2-D2 and repair the damaged astromech droid. Following the astromech droid's recovery, Gascon personally praised him for his bravery and told D-Squad that he would be honored to work with them again.
R2-D2, along with his masters Skywalker and Tano, later participated in the defense of Cato Neimoidia. The planet had come under attack from the Separatists. During the battle, Skywalker's starfighter was attacked by buzz droids. After Skywalker was knocked out by a powerful blast, R2-D2 took control of the starfighter. Under Ahsoka's orders, he landed the fighter on Cato Neimoidia's surface to bring the unconscious Skywalker to safety.
Shortly after this, Skywalker and Ahsoka were summoned back to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to investigate a bomb attack.
R2-D2 accompanied his masters back to Coruscant to assist with the investigation. R2-D2 later accompanied General Skywalker to the planet Scipio. Skywalker's spouse Senator Amidala had traveled to Scipio on a mercy mission to secure funds from the InterGalactic Banking Clan to aid refugees displaced by the Clone Wars. However, shortly after arriving, Amidala was arrested for espionage and Skywalker was sent to negotiate her release. R2-D2 and Skywalker's mission was complicated by the presence of Clovis, the pro-Separatist senator whom Amidala had flirted with during an earlier mission to Cato Neimoidia.
Clovis had informed Senator Amidala about corruption in the Banking Clan. Prior to departing Scipio, Skywalker and Amidala went to retrieve files from a vault in Clovis' alpine residence.
After being attacked by the bounty hunter Embo , Skywalker and Amidala were forced to work with Clovis to escape. Under Skywalker's orders, R2-D2 rendezvoused with them and evacuated the area before Embo could land a shot. Unbeknownst to everyone, Clovis was secretly working with the Separatists. During the journey, R2 sat in the droid socket of Yoda's fighter. R2-D2 and Yoda then flew to a mysterious planet which lay in the middle of a cloud of golden energy. Upon entering the cloud, R2-D2 and Yoda's fighter malfunctioned.
Trusting in the Force, Yoda manually guided his starfighter to a planet which was generating the golden energy. The starfighter landed near a geyser and Yoda decided to leave R2-D2 behind. He also instructed the astromech droid to guard his lightsaber while he re-entered the starfighter to fly into the geyser. After Yoda completed his trials on the mysterious planet, he received instructions to travel to the ancient Sith homeworld of Moraband.
Upon arriving on Moraband, Yoda instructed R2-D2 to wait with his starfighter once again while he went on to continue his Jedi trials.
The Jedi Master also instructed R2-D2 to return alone to Coruscant if he did not return within three days. Yoda managed to complete his trials but experienced visions of the Great Jedi Purge and the rise of the Galactic Empire. After completing his Jedi trials, R2-D2 accompanied him back to Coruscant. However, Yoda declined to share any of his experiences with R2-D2 or his fellow Jedi.
During the Battle of Yerbana , while Anakin distracted the droids, R2 waited along with Rex and the clone jet troopers of the st legion for the signal.
When the super tactical droid emerged from hiding, Skywalker gave him the signal and the clones started to attack along with the th Attack Battalion. After Skywalker and Kenobi received a transmission from Ahsoka Tano about the whereabouts of Maul , R2 accompanied them to the hanger to meet with her and members of Lady Bo-Katan Kryze 's Mandalore resistance. Upon seeing Tano, the droid happily went over to his old friend, and she patted him on the dome, [65] although this would be the last time they saw each other for a year.
While Skywalker and Kenobi searched the Separatist flagship, the Invisible Hand , for the Chancellor, R2-D2 encountered some super battle droids and succeeded in destroying them by spraying oil onto the ground and then igniting it.
He then penetrated the Separatist flagship and managed to reunite with Skywalker, Kenobi, and Palpatine. Skywalker had freed the Chancellor and killed Count Dooku. Shortly later, they were captured by General Grievous' droids and taken to the command bridge. Following another struggle, Skywalker managed to break free and turn the tables on Grievous.
Defeated, Grievous fled in an escape pod. Hit by Republic fire, the Invisible Hand began descending into Coruscant, with the Jedi and chancellor in it. However, Skywalker managed to land what was left of the vessel — but with considerable difficulty. Once on the ground R2-D2 met up with C-3PO — but, while the group had this initial victory in the Battle of Coruscant , soon the astromech droid would witness the the Great Jedi Purge and the Republic's transformation into the Galactic Empire.
Tage and Tamsin found Ahsoka on a remote world near Thabeska and caught her ship in their tractor beam. Believing they were hostile, Tano knocked Tage and Tamsin unconscious. While making her way through the ship's engine room to reach the cockpit, Ahsoka encountered R2-D2 and hugged the astromech droid, having missed his company. Since he had not received a memory wipe, R2-D2 recognized his old friend and told her that he and the pilots were working for a senator who wanted to meet her.
Tano managed to convince R2-D2 to release the tractor beam from her freighter, tell nobody he had met her, and to make sure that she could track his ship. Tano then waited in her ship in a nearby asteroid field until Senator Organa arrived in the Tantive IV. When Tage and Tamsin awoke, R2-D2 pretended to have been short-circuited by Tano in order to cover up his role in helping her escape.
However, Bail realized R2-D2's role in Tano's escape after viewing a clip of the security footage in the engine room. R2-D2 was greeted by C-3PO, who berated his companion. Ahsoka managed to infiltrate the ship with a pressure suit and entered Organa's office. After Ahsoka informed him about R2-D2's role in her escape, Organa joked that the droid was too independent and ought to be deactivated.
Ahsoka responded that R2-D2 had had a lot of "bad role models. After Tano agreed to take part in a mission on Raada to investigate the Inquisitor known as the Sixth Brother , R2-D2 helped Captain Antilles' crew in repairing her damaged freighter. While R2-D2 was repairing the engines, Ahsoka spent time with him and told him that she missed him.
When the engines hummed to life, Ahsoka thanked the astromech droid. Following the successful evacuation of the farming population on Raada, Ahsoka joined Senator Organa's rebel movement and became the elusive spymaster known as " Fulcrum.
About five years before the Battle of Yavin , [ source? Minister Tua wanted to obtain a shipment of T-7 ion disruptor rifles , illicit weapons which had been banned by the Imperial Senate following the brutal pacification of Lasan. She intended to mass-produce the weapons on Lothal , a formerly backwater Outer Rim world that had become a manufacturing base for the Empire. Since Tua could not speak the Aqualish language , C-3PO was assigned the job of acting as her translator.
However, R2-D2 was aware about the true nature of their mission: preventing the T-7 ion disruptors from falling into Imperial hands. By contrast, C-3PO was deliberately kept in the dark. Unknown to R2-D2, members of a Lothalian rebel cell were also traveling on the same shuttle. Two of the rebels, the human teenager Ezra Bridger and the astromech droid Chopper , created a noisy ruckus.
Another rebel, the former Jedi Kanan Jarrus , pretended to be irate and demanded that the petulant Chopper be sent to the back of the shuttle. The pilot complied, but in retaliation, Bridger demanded that Tua's droids be sent to the back as well. Bereft of a translator, Tua was forced to turn to the Mandalorian girl Sabine Wren , who posed as an Imperial Academy student fluent in Aqualish.
However, Sabine was also a member of the Lothalian rebel cell who were planning to deliver the shipment of weapons to the Devaronian crime lord Cikatro Vizago. Sabine learned that the weapons were stored in Garel's Bay 7 but misled Minister Tua into believing that they were in Bay While traveling to Bay 7, R2-D2 was accosted by Chopper, who had been sent to distract the Imperials.
Chopper rammed himself into R2-D2, then shook his arm in apparent anger. In response, R2-D2 whipped out his electro-shock prod , but did not use it as C-3PO ordered him to apologize. But then, Minister Tua recognized Chopper from the shuttle ride to Garel and ordered her stormtrooper guards to hurry to Bay 7.
By the time they arrived at Bay 7, the Lothalian rebels were already loading the T-7 ion disruptors onto the Ghost , a VCX light freighter which served as their headquarters.
A blaster fight broke out and in the ensuing confusion, R2-D2 and C-3PO fled aboard the Ghost , which fled into hyperspace. The two droids were then taken prisoner by the Lothalian rebels who placed restraining bolts on both of them. The Spectres then traveled back to Lothal to sell the stolen weapons and the two stowaway droids to Vizago at a pre-arranged rendezvous point.
Unbeknownst to Chopper and the other crew, C-3PO had contacted the Imperial authorities telling them that he and his astromech counterpart had been kidnapped by a group of "criminals" in Garel. Carrying out Organa's orders, R2-D2 proceeded to overload and destroy the T-7 disruptors with the help of Sabine and Chopper. During the fighting, the rebels managed to destroy the T-7 disruptors and to escape their Imperial pursuers.
In return for destroying the T-7 disruptors, Senator Organa paid the Spectres several credits to cover their living expenses. After the rebels had departed, R2-D2 showed Bail Organa a recording of his time with them.
Following the rescue of the Jedi rebel Kanan Jarrus and the Siege of Lothal , R2-D2 was part of an Alderaanian reception party at Havoc Outpost which greeted the Spectre rebels Wren and Chopper, the bounty hunter Ketsu Onyo and their special cargo: the GNK-series power droid EG , who was carrying some secret intelligence of value to the rebel network.
R2-D2 whistled when he greeted EG, who whistled back in return. R2-D2 was with C-3PO at the Rebel Alliance's secret base on Yavin 4 at the time the Alliance Fleet prepared to leave for the Battle of Scarif to help reinforce Rogue One , an unofficial squad that had traveled to Scarif to retrieve the plans for the Galactic Empire's Death Star , a new superweapon capable of destroying entire worlds. The Alliance succeeded in stealing the plans for the superweapon.
During the pursuit, the Tantive IV was crippled by a laser blast from Vader's ship and Imperial stormtroopers boarded the vessel. After quarreling in the Jundland Wastes , the two droids parted ways. While R2-D2 was traveling past a cave, he was stunned and captured by several Jawas , who took him aboard a sandcrawler.
There, he managed to reunite with C-3PO, who had also been captured. Though R5-D4 desired to be sold, R2-D2 told the droid that the fate of the galaxy depended on him being sold and that he needed to find Master Kenobi. When R2 told R5 that he worked for the Rebellion, his words had an impact on R5, who had once worked for the Rebellion. Having established a rapport with the other astromech droid, R2-D2 promised not to trouble R5-D4 for the rest of the journey.
The following day, the Jawas visited a moisture farm that was the home of Owen Lars , his wife Beru , and their adopted nephew Luke Skywalker, the son of Anakin Skywalker.
Lars bought Threepio and then bought R5-D4. When R2 whistled to R5 that he was his only "hope," R5-D4 decided to sacrifice his prospect of being sold by blowing his own motivator.
As a result, Owen bought R2-D2. However, they were then ambushed by a gang of Tusken Raiders. During the Tusken attack, R2-D2 hid in a cave. Before the Tusken Raiders could do any more harm, Ben Kenobi arrived and scared them away. There, Kenobi revealed Skywalker's Jedi heritage and passed him his father's lightsaber, telling the boy that his father Anakin had been murdered by someone named Darth Vader.
Skywalker was initially reluctant until he discovered that Imperial stormtroopers had murdered his relatives and razed their moisture farm. Later, R2-D2 and his companions traveled to the spaceport of Mos Eisley with the intention of finding passage to Alderaan.
Upon arriving in the settlement, they were stopped by a stormtrooper patrol who were hunting for R2-D2 and Threepio. However, Kenobi used a Jedi mind trick to convince the stormtroopers to give them free passage through the town. While Kenobi and Skywalker negotiated with the smuggler Han Solo and his Wookiee co-pilot Chewbacca , the two droids wandered the streets of Mos Eisley and narrowly evaded a stormtrooper patrol. Later, they boarded Han Solo's ship, the Millennium Falcon and fled into hyperspace.
As they traveled through hyperspace, R2 sat beside Kenobi, who secretly had recognized R2. Placing his hand on the astromech's dome, Kenobi quietly told R2 he was happy to fly with him once again. At that moment, the Millennium Falcon was captured in the tractor beam of the Death Star. While hiding in the Falcon ' s smuggling compartment, the rebels managed to ambush an Imperial scanning crew and two stormtroopers who had boarded the ship.
The rebels then seized control of an Imperial control room and discovered that Princess Leia was located in Detention Block AA , pending execution. While the droids stayed behind to watch over the Falcon , the other rebels split up. Skywalker, Solo, and Chewbacca managed to free the Princess, but their cover was blown and they had to hide in a garbage chute. The Imperials realized that the rebels were trapped in the garbage chute and proceeded to crush the chamber. Meanwhile, Artoo and Threepio escaped an Imperial patrol by claiming that the rebels had thrown them into the storage compartment.
Once the Imperials had gone, the two droids were contacted by Skywalker, who ordered them to shut down the garbage compactor. R2-D2 succeeded in shutting down the garbage compactor just in time.
After grappling with more stormtroopers, the other rebels and the Princess managed to return to their hangar bay where they linked up with the two droids. Meanwhile, Master Kenobi had managed to shut down the tractor beam projector but was cornered by his former apprentice Darth Vader on the way back.
After dispatching several pursuing TIE fighters , R2-D2 and his companions escaped to Yavin 4, where the rebels maintained a base. There, they managed to access the Death Star plans stored inside Artoo's memory banks.
Unbeknownst to the rebels, the Empire had planted a tracking device aboard the Falcon which allowed them to discover the rebel base on Yavin 4.
With the Death Star approaching Yavin 4, the rebel leadership ordered a starfighter strike on the battle station. Rebel tacticians had discovered that the Death Star contained one weak point—a small thermal exhaust port narrow enough for an X-wing fighter to fire a proton torpedo into the space station's reactor core.
During the battle, R2-D2 served as the astromech unit aboard Skywalker's X-wing starfighter. Despite initial successes, the Rebels suffered numerous casualties from the Empire's nimble TIE fighters. Following two failed attempts to penetrate the trench which led to the thermal exhaust port, Skywalker and two other X-wing pilots, Wedge Antilles and Biggs Darklighter , made one final attempt to reach the exhaust port. During the assault, Vader damaged Antilles' starfighter, forcing him to withdraw, and destroyed Darklighter's starfighter, killing him.
Undaunted, Skywalker continued the mission. Vader strafed Skywalker's X-wing and damaged R2-D2, who short-circuited as a result of a direct laser hit. Before Vader could move in for the kill, he was ambushed by Han Solo's Millennium Falcon , which eliminated Vader's wingmen and forced him to disengage. Skywalker then fired the proton torpedo which destroyed the Death Star, scoring a major victory for the Rebellion.
Following the battle, R2-D2 was repaired and fully restored. The astromech droid later attended a victory celebration where Skywalker, Solo, and other rebel pilots were awarded medals for their combat valor. Following the medal ceremony in the Great Temple, R2-D2 accompanied Leia and the Alderaanian starfighter pilot Evaan Verlaine to the worlds of Naboo , Espirion , and Sullust on a mission to save the survivors of Alderaan.
Since General Dodonna had forbidden Princess Leia from leaving Yavin 4, Princess Leia recorded a transmission of R2-D2 recording a message telling the General about her mission to save the Alderaanian refugees scattered across the galaxy. R2-D2 was aboard Leia and Verlaine's T-1 shuttle when Verlaine outran several X-wing starfighters that had been sent to bring them back to Yavin.
After landing in the Naboo city of Keren , R2-D2 accompanied Princess Leia and Verlaine when they visited the home of Lord Junn , a wealthy Alderaanian expatriate who provided the group with information about the whereabouts of the Melodic Order. R2-D2 used his electric cables to knock out one of the Besalisks. The droid then accompanied his master, Verlaine, and the Melodic Order offworld on a T-1 shuttle and Lord Junn's eponymous yacht.
The group then traveled to the planet Sullust to contact Preserver Jora Astane 's Alderaan Enclave , who lived underground. R2-D2 accompanied Leia and Verlaine through the caves and tunnels.
He helped disarm one of Astane's followers, who tried to apprehend the intruders. In order to convince Jora to trust them, Leia allowed Covis to download data from R2-D2's memory banks including the Lord Junn ' s weapons profile, navigational history, and transmissions.
When Covis intercepted transmissions between the singer Tace and her sister, Tula , who was stationed aboard an Imperial cruiser , Jora thought that Leia and her group were Imperial spies and tried to apprehend them.
R2-D2 and the humans escaped down a tunnel hatch which led the den of the rockrenders , large beasts that feasted on metals. Meanwhile, Imperial stormtroopers attacked the Alderaan Enclave upstairs. R2-D2 with the help of Verlaine managed to lure the rockrenders into the Enclave's den. The rockrenders turned the tide of the battle by attacking the stormtroopers, feasting on their mineral rich armor.
This gained the trust of Jora's followers and they pledged their allegiance to Princess Leia. A week later, R2-D2 was present when the rebels obtained a shipment of weapons from the Sullustan Nien Nunb. After Princess Leia undertook a mission to rescue Tace's sister Tula by pretending to surrender herself to the Empire, R2-D2 accompanied his master on their T-1 shuttle. Prior to landing on the desert world of Skaradosh , Princess Leia told R2-D2 that she would see him on the "other side," leading the others to believe that Princess Leia was planning to die and go to "droid heaven.
Leia's surrender turned out to be a ruse. Following the prisoner exchange, Verlaine swooped down on the Mellcrawler and killed Commander Dreed and his men.
R2-D2 and Nien Nunb manned the Mellcrawler ' s cockpit during the rescue mission. After launching a decoy ship, the group traveled to the planet Espirion where the Alderaan Flotilla had gathered after learning of Leia's mission to gather them. Following the battle above Espirion, R2-D2 attended the victory celebrations where Princess Leia learnt that her droid had beamed her speech directly to Chief Beonel. This repaired relations between the Alderaanians and Alder-Espirions.
R2-D2 then accompanied his Princess back to Yavin 4 to continue fighting for the Rebellion. Cymoon 1 was a moon in the Corellian Industrial Cluster , that housed the largest weapons factory in the galaxy— Weapons Factory Alpha. The factory was also the main target of the assault. The shuttle was sent from the crime lord Jabba the Hutt, and had housed an envoy that was to negotiate with the Empire. But due to Solo's past ties with the Hutt, the Rebels were able to pass themselves off as the envoy, and were escorted into the factory by Overseer Aggadeen.
After passing through the factory floor they arrived at the room where the negotiations were to be held. The Overseer invited them in to await the negotiator, but Han revealed that they weren't there to negotiate and gave R2-D2 the signal. R2-D2 began pouring a green liquid onto the floor, he then he electrocuted the fluid with his electric pike. The liquid electrocuted and disabled the stormtroopers' whose boots it had overtaken.
Luke, Han, and Leia then finished off the remaining troopers. Han asked Aggadeen where the main power core was, but the proud Imperial officer refused to answer — until R2-D2 threatened to electrocute him too. Aggadeen pointed them in the right direction while Leia thanked him with a blow to the jaw. They arrived at the power core, where R2 plugged into the main computer and shut off all the safety restraints. Soon they had rigged the core to blow up in ten minutes' time. R2 is the only character despite being a non-living droid to appear in all six Star Wars films, without changes to appearance or speech, unlike his colleague C-3PO , who, in Phantom Menace , did not yet have the gold plating he'd boast for all his other appearances.
Along with his resourcefulness, R2 had many tool-tipped appendages that allowed him to be a great starship mechanic and computer interface specialist. A light droid, R2 would often enter dangerous situations without second thought. This adventurous streak has saved the day on numerous occasions, often turning the tide of galactic history.
R2 is barrel-like in shape, with a rotating dome which functions as his head, complete with a single robotic eye. He has three appendages, which enable him to walk, and on each appendage there are wheels he uses for locomotion.
Unlike his Protocol droid counterpart C-3PO, R2-D2 cannot speak but communicates with a series of beeps, whistles, and warbles, which 3PO can interpret. His masters also seem to have an understanding of what he seems to want to communicate. Later, he serves as the astromech droid for Anakin's starfighter during the attack on the Trade Federation Droid Control Ship.
Here, he is reunited with C-3PO, and the two get into various misadventures on Geonosis. This includes a bizarre accident where C-3PO's head is knocked off his body. The head is placed on the body of a battle droid, and a battle droid head is placed on C-3PO's body. He is attacked by Super battle droids , but manages to defeat both of them through ingenious tactics. At this point, C3PO was in the possession and control of Shmi Skywalker as her personal property assuming a slave could own property.
See, Cal Probate Code c A. However, the marriage does not make them co-equal owners of the Droids, because marriage does not make personal property community property, unless there is a valid transfer of ownership. While there marriage was secret, this does tend to show them treating the Droids as community property. Revenge of the Sith first shows Anakin being left for dead on Mustafar, soon followed by Padme giving birth to twins, followed by her death. However, given both were newborns, Bail Organa arguably became the bailee of the Droids until the Skywalker twins were of legal age.
In turn, Organa entrusted the Droids to Raymus Antilles for safe keeping. The Jawas could argue the Droids were abandoned or lost, claiming a right over them. However, if lost, the Jawas made no attempt to locate the right owners, but simply put them up for sale.
