- «Thank you for telling me all this. I know it can be hard to talk about, but war stories are important. I sometimes think it’s my destiny—to see things, to be present, to witness the galaxy moving, evolving. It happens to me over and over again—but even so, I can’t see everything. And so, I like hearing the stories. Recording them.»
- ―R2-D2, to BB-8
R2-D2, pronounced Artoo-Detoo and often referred to as R2 (Artoo), was an R2-series astromech droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton with masculine programming. A smart, spunky droid who would serve a multitude of masters over his lifetime, R2-D2 was never given a full memory wipe nor did he ever receive new programming, with these factors resulting in an adventurous and independent attitude. Often finding himself in pivotal moments in galactic history, his bravery and ingenuity saved the galaxy on numerous occasions.
