I just found out that in legends, R2-D2 lived all the way to the legacy era. Making him one of the oldest characters that were alive at the time.

[@r3v4n21]

Yoda died in Episode 6, Legacy takes place about 130 years after Episode 4.

+Tac Son (Jackie Nam) As Yoda said, he was 900 when he died. Anyways, R2-D2 is surely one of the most long-living characters.

I like how this product line follows what you could expect in real life. You have the first iteration that may be groundbreaking in ways, but isn't very practical yet, the balanced and improved second iteration that really takes off, the "pro" model that only sees limited use, then the more affordable model, then the one where they get lazy, then the one where they course-correct and have another success, then one made for the government which ends up being pretty useless actually, then a couple more designed to only to be small iterations to keep the product line alive.

[@imppro]

After the death of his owner, he was taken away by smugglers to be sold until he ended up on Tantooine, where the Jawa came and made a deal with the crew. They broke him,both mentally and physically,made him suffer, they stole his happiness and innocence in life and filled him with misery. 3 days he was on the Sandcrawler, 3 days of torture and horrid smell. He could not, *will* not continue on. He switched his gears, and selected the self-destruct button...

In Legends, sales of the R3 were so big that IA didn't have enough R3 specific domes, so to save time and money, they fit the domes of retired/broken/salvaged R2 units and placed them on the R3s, hence Goldie's solid-colored dome.

I love the design of the R7 series droids. Whenever I go to Galaxy's Edge, I'll build me an all black R unit, and then see about getting the head swapped for a R7 model. I'll even see about trying to get the head in a smoky transparent head so you can see lights underneath.

P1 was probably either taken by another IA droid series or a canceled prototype that became the P2

[@ttl34570]

the droid that Luke said a bad motivator was actually for sensitive and saw Luke was too, so he persuaded Owen to buy him using a mind trick, but then he had a vision of R2 D2 being taken to Darth Vader and then the death star blowing up the rebels and he knew that Luke would need R2 D2 and C3PO so that they can see the transmission from Leia and the rebels would be saved after he had that vision so he sacrificed himself for the fate of the republic.

R4-P17 didn't always have an R2 series head. She started out with a conical-shaped head. On the planet Gyndine, as she was attempting to repair a trash compactor, it activated, crushing her. Anakin Skywalker found what was left of her and rebuilt her with an R2 series dome.
