Every Time R2-D2 Saves the Day

[@Photos.ByChai]

Pretty much, the entire galaxy is screwed without R2.

[@sgtfrozty]

Yet Lucas once said, "Jar Jar is the key to all of this."

[@sgtfrozty]

***** Yeah, and also I heard somewhere that he indirectly caused the rise of the Galactic Empire by giving Palpatine emergency powers or something, I have to check.

[@sgtfrozty]

***** I wasn't trying to link the theory and Lucas' quote together, though it's such a coincidence that he said that......

[@rorschach1848]

+sgtfrozty George Lucas also said that he had "big plans for a specific character", and since he said "Jar Jar is the key to all of this", we can assume that he had big plans for Jar Jar. He allegedly halted the "big plans" because of the Prequels getting so much (unnecessary) hatred. The "Darth Jar Jar" theory makes so much sense and I'm hoping that JJ Abrams continues Lucas' plans.

[@alexbernal7857]

+sgtfrozty Also, Jar Jar gave Palpatine the right to be the chancellor.

[@dylanmau6606]

I love how R2 is part of the Star Wars family. He's more of a Skywalker than Rey. He was Padme's, then Leia's, then Luke's. He loved Padme so much and loved being on Anakins side. In the new era, he loves Luke and Leia. What an awesome droid!

[@alexmason2659]

No he was Padmes then Anakin's then Leia's then Luke R2 was a droid who loved action which is probably why he blew off Padme and Leia for Anakin and Luke

[@IThinkImMeta]

R2 is the most helpful droid but BB8 is the cutest droid lol they both are the best droids. and R2 is still pretty cute.

In the gap between Empire and Jedi, there used to be frequent discussions in the letters pages of sci-fi magazines as to who "The Other" would turn out to be. R2 was often one of the main contenders.

This, of course, doesn't take into account the forty-eight million times Artoo saves the day in The Clone Wars cartoon.

[@Caracajou]

This is exactly what I tell all my friends when the subject of Star Wars comes up. Without this little guy everyone dies. Definitely the very most important character in the franchise, and the kicker is he's never portrayed as getting fully recognized by the other characters for saving their skins.

[@ZemeckisTEN]

Caracajou I 100% agree. It's sad that R2 barley gets any appreciation from the other characters. They really should recognize how important R2 really is.

[@joaosoares-rr5mj]

because he is also selfless, he doesnt look for ay medals or recognition, he is the real hero that we all need, but not the hero we diserve.

[@LoadPast]

In episode 1 they kind of honor him for saving the ship, which comes off a little strange. He is a machine built to fix starships, after all.
