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.

Thanks a lot 🙏
Nice content
Wow that's nostalgic , awesome content 👍🏻
Keep it up man. Loving these compilations 😃
Thanks a bunch!!
Your Content is Cool keep it up!
Thanks a lot 🙏
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 =)
Wow amazing intro and quality of videos man 🔥
Wait r2d2 is part of the combination of jetfire and optimus prime that is epic
Optimus prime : r2d2 lets powerlink
R2d2 : *¡OOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAOOOO!*
best channel i found on reddit today. :)
Very good video.. nice editing 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice quality vids 👍
Great video! Hope it wasn't too hard to find the more obscure R2D2 appearances.
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
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 :)
Nicely created content
I think you missed one. The 2003 animated Clone Wars. R2 was in it even if it was a brief scene.
Love R2D2
Me too!
Great video man!
Thank you sir
Really good hope it gets more views
Thanks a tone!
Who wishes r2d2 had a stand alone Star wars film?
Me it would get annoying fast tho with all of the beeps
haha awesome, r2 is muh DAWG!!!
He is the main hero of the movie for me haha. Thanks for watching.

Awesome!
Hi! It's me SkinnyDude. Thanks for the support on my channel!
Hey! I’m glad you liked it. 😁
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
fire video!!
Thanks a lot.

This droid has survived every starwars movie
5:10 racist

One things for sure R2 isn't complete without C3PO
He’s literally been in every Star Wars saga
