R2D2 at Disneyland HD (POV)

Get a glimpse of R2-D2 strolling around Tomorrowland at Disneyland California.

R2-D2 (phonetically spelled Artoo-Detoo, and called "R2" for short), is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. An astromech droid, R2-D2 is a major character throughout all six Star Wars films. Along with his droid companion C-3PO, he joins or supports Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi in various points in the saga. R2-D2 was played by Kenny Baker.

The original R2-D2 was designed by John Stears and specially created by Australian firm Petric Engineering and English firm C&L Developments.[citation needed] Many scenes also made use of radio controlled and CGI versions of the character. Both the original props of R2-D2 and C-3PO used in filming are used as audio-animatronics in the queue area of Disneyland's Star Tours ride.
