I read an interesting story once, about how R2-D2 got his name. A few years before Geo. Lucas made Star Wars, he made a nice little comedy, "American Graffiti". (Which has a Harrison Ford cameo, btw). All the time he was working on the film, he was also writing "Star Wars". He kept a notebook with him, and would add notes or write ideas as they came to him. For several reasons, when filming, the visual and the audio are recorded simultaneously, but separately. This is why, when the Director says "Action", the assistant says "Scene 6, take 2" and "SNAPS" that clacker; The "SNAP" helps them to synch up the audio in post-production. During the post-production phase for "Graffiti", Lucas was working with the sound editor, and while editing one scene, the editor turned to an assistant, and asked him to grab a dialogue reel, that they would synch with it. He wanted the second dialogue track on the second reel of tape recorded for the scene in question. In editing speak he turned to the assistant and said . . . "Spool up R2, D2." (Reel 2, dialogue #2) That caught Lucas' ear. He liked the sound of it and R2 got his name. Maybe real, maybe rumor, but I like it.
@@CharacterDatabase him and Boba fett, if you couldnt tell from my avatar, have always been my fav.. I emailed Bite Size Tech, and hit you on reddit, wanted to see if i made the both of you my first two affiliates, would you guys return the favor?! ;)

R2 has one of the most recognisable noises in all of Star Wars, great video :)
His voice is as iconic as James Earl Jones, Christopher Lee and Samuel L. Jackson.
Let's face it. Without R2, the "Star Wars" movies would've been way different in more ways than one. Best robot buddy ever!
A tip: watch series at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Ezequiel Gordon definitely, have been watching on flixzone} for since november myself =)
Excellent idea...
I actually have not seen one of these kind of compilations in a while keep it up
Thanks a lot.
Who wishes r2d2 had a stand alone Star wars film?
Me it would get annoying fast tho with all of the beeps
Everyone's a critic
Nice content
Great Video! Enjoyed this evolution of R2D2! Amazing Work!
Thanks a lot 🙏
Your Content is Cool keep it up!
Thanks a lot 🙏
Wait r2d2 is part of the combination of jetfire and optimus prime that is epic
Optimus prime : r2d2 lets powerlink
R2d2 : *¡OOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAOOOO!*
I think you missed one. The 2003 animated Clone Wars. R2 was in it even if it was a brief scene.
Great content! Looks like you spent alot of time into it!
Thanks a lot!!!
You forget 2003 clone wars
Wow that's nostalgic , awesome content 👍🏻
Keep it up man. Loving these compilations 😃
Thanks a bunch!!
R2D2 it’s the only one besides palpatine who can go 1vs1 with yoda
Edit: wheres R2D2 clone wars 2003?
Maybe he forgot the 2003
Love R2D2
Me too!
Wow amazing intro and quality of videos man 🔥

Imagine if R2-D2 will join Pinocchio, Violet Violet Parr, Phineas Flynn, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, Kevin Wolfy, Honeymaren, Ms. Marvel, Patch Dalmatian, Wilbur Robinson, Penny Forrester, Hiro Hamada, Ginger, Tick Tock Crocodile and Lavagirl to save DisneyTown
Your lack of knowing about budget of making crossovers is disturbing
How do you come up with these ideas? Actually so talented
That’s very kind of you. I just do a bit research that’s all :)

This droid has survived every starwars movie
Can you do a Mowgli Evolution then?
Man all I can say is, that little droid has been through alot
im sorry but why in the hell was he with jetfire’s parts in transformers
5:10 racist
yes i like it a lot ?
One things for sure R2 isn't complete without C3PO
What about Clone Wars ? Not The Clone Wars, Clone wars from 2003
He’s literally been in every Star Wars saga
