BEHIND THE SCENES: HERO FROM THE HOLD!

Whatever the obstacles, whatever the dangers, you can always rely on that lovable hero Astro Droid R2-D2 to come and save the day (and deservedly win a cheer from the audience), as seen here in his Prequel 'introduction' of EPISODE I, within the Naboo Royal Cruiser hold. These scenes were shot at Leavesden Studios, London with the three-legged remote control version of the beloved character, though Kenny Baker would also be back in the two-legged construction.
