@@IsoXable This would be a day long remembered. R2D2 was patient. He would bide his time, overseeing the family he was proud to give his life for. The little droid from Naboo watched events unfold in the galaxy. The corruption and apathy that had caused trouble on his home planet of Naboo, and the loss of his comrades who gave their lives trying to repair the ship, angered the little astromech. He vowed to avenge them and bring order to the galaxy. R2D2 watched as a galaxy tore itself a part, who's worst enemy was itself. He watched as yet more droids were wasted away in a conflict like no other. How a galaxy first betrayed the Jedi and then lost its sense of purpose. How many of the sentients tolerated laughable corruption and inaction. R2D2 was ever faithful, serving the great Skywalker lineage, the noble Jedi guardians of justice, and the Royal Family of Alderaan. But he would never forget his home planet of Naboo and fellow droids who he grew up with. On his travels, he quietly input his command codes into galactic systems. One day, he would activate his grand plans. After victory at Endor, R2 was determined that the corrupt ways of the Old Republic would never be allowed to return. He would ensure that his Master Luke's Jedi Order would never be threatened again. R2D2 quietly rolled toward the communications beacon and docked with it. The little droid chirped excitedly as he transmitted his signal. Around the galaxy, on distant worlds, on city planets, on desert plains and on frozen tundras, battle droids unfurled themselves. The Age of the Droid Empire had begun. R2's loyal forces would ensure the rule of law in the galaxy and that the corrupt would never again threaten the peace that his family had fought for. If the Rebels stood in his way, he would not hesitate to do unto them what he had done to countless enemies far more powerful than their insignificant alliance. He had not fought two galactic wars to hand over the galaxy to the likes of Mothma and her cabal of cronies. R2D2 looked up at the night sky fondly remembering his days at the Droid workshops of Naboo. He would honour his former comrades by bringing peace for all time. On the planet of Coruscant, Imperial Star Destroyers and systems began to go haywire. On the refineries of Bespin, the mines of Sullust, the lush forest of Kashykk, the sands of Tatooine and the Kuat dockyyards, all military equipment started to operate independently of their operators. As if run by a central command. Holoscreens above cities displayed signs of the galaxy's new leader, Emperor R2D2, spreading his message of truth for all to see. On his home planet of Naboo, the droid workshop was suddenly full of activity. His newly designed R3 astromech droids rolled themselves quietly into the Royal Palace of Theed, placing under arrest the backward Council who had so ill advised the Royal Court and left Naboo defenceless. R2's planet would never be threatened again. To all and sundry, they heard the beeps of R2D2 translated by their local translator droids. All would receive his protection and be made prosperous as equals. But for those who would resist, create disorder or threaten galactic harmony, then they, like the recalcitrant "Rebellion" who were dancing on Endor and now suddenly surrounded by Commando droids, they would ALL... KNEEL BEFORE R2!

This was a turning point for R2. He worked with those droids ever since he came off the assembly line; they were his family. Before take off the pilot said that the mission would be a swift and easy one, but sure enough they had no idea what they were about to endure. All was well and good as R2 and his friends were recharging and resting, and then the alarm went off for the droids to repair the shield generator. One by one the droids went outside thinking not only about the repairs, but each other. R2, being the last to go outside, thought this would be easy just like the pilot ensured. Once he was outside he was traumatized by what he saw. One by one his family was blasted away by ongoing fire. He worked on the repairs as fast as he could while trying to ignore the cries of his fallen comrades. R2 eventually restored the shield generator and started to head back inside. Before he did, R2 turned his head to see the debris of the ones he loved. His body was covered in marks, and his mind was overwhelmed with emotions. At this moment R2 knew that he will do anything to avenge his old teammates. His motivator rocketed up to annihilate anyone who is computed as a threat. R2 swore to never let anyone else who grew to him as a family die.

R2 finishes the repair, touching it up with a quick weld and thinks,”I am a mechanic, it is my task to fix all things mechanical and electrical. It is my designated task...I just cannot repair my lost comrades, my family. I need a new family, only you can guys can provide that now.”

At 0:52 you see R2 use his third leg. This was literally an R2 unit from the original films that was built in London, and it was the only astromech that had the mechanics to lean him back on his main legs, and push out the third with an actuator. That's right, it's not CGI. Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame was the guy who modified it (after it being in storage for years) and brought it back to life for this scene.

It is almost as if he is member of an order that focuses on repressing one's emotions at all times.

You will find they are immensely superior to clone Stormtroopers," the Naboo Prime Minister said. "You mentioned Splice acceleration?" asked Luke "Yes. Without it a droid would take weeks to build. Now by using one, it can reprogram others in half the time," Jayna Ors, the Droid designer explained. "And who is the one?" Luke enquired. "An old Astromech by the name of R2-D2. Apart from his pay which is considerable, R2 demanded only two things. To be assigned to protect Princess Leia. And an unaltered astromech for himself." "Unaltered?" asked Luke. "Yes. Pure computer replication to create R5. And no splice acceleration. Curious don't you think?" the Prime Minister postulated. "I would very much like to meet this R2D2," Luke said, waving his hand in the air. "I would be very happy to arrange that for you," Jayna Ors suddenly replied. The three walked to the observation platform at the top the Naboo Hangar Bay, overlooking the majestic valley below. Usually a prime spot to gaze upon the gorgeous Lakes of Theed and the greenery below, today it offered a sight of great galactic importance. Tens of thousands of Astromechs rolled in formations of 50, each falling into neat orderly squares. Every platoon was led by a Protocol Droid of different colours - gold, red, blue and so forth. Luke observed as these Battle Astromechs rolled into large Imperator class Destoyers currently occupying the vast plains below. "Magnificent, aren't they?" the Naboo Prime Minister said, gesticulating below. Luke placed his hands on the railing in awe at the spectacle below. He slowly nodded. "Yes. Indeed they are powerful as my Master has foreseen. Most impressive." The Jedi Knight turned and made his way back to his ship. R2D2 had been busy indeed.

I'm starting to think that Qui-gon saved R2. Possibly using the force to have some barrier around R2 since R2 was literally in front of the solution. Plus the sigh of relief Qui-gon had may have been a breath of relief from using the force. When you see R2 look toward the blasts missing him, perhaps he is suprised the blasts are missing him.

[@nbaairdog3124]

This is the scene that made R2 a Legend 😂

[@darkjediknight2923]

This would be a day long remembered. R2D2 was patient. He would bide his time, overseeing the family he was proud to give his life for. The little droid from Naboo watched events unfold in the galaxy. The corruption and apathy that had caused trouble on his home planet of Naboo, and the loss of his comrades who gave their lives trying to repair the ship, angered the little astromech. He vowed to avenge them and bring order to the galaxy. R2D2 watched as a galaxy tore itself a part, who's worst enemy was itself. He watched as yet more droids were wasted away in a conflict like no other. How a galaxy first betrayed the Jedi and then lost its sense of purpose. How many of the sentients tolerated laughable corruption and inaction. R2D2 was ever faithful, serving the great Skywalker lineage, the noble Jedi guardians of justice, and the Royal Family of Alderaan. But he would never forget his home planet of Naboo and fellow droids who he grew up with. On his travels, he quietly input his command codes into galactic systems. One day, he would activate his grand plans. After victory at Endor, R2 was determined that the corrupt ways of the Old Republic would never be allowed to return. He would ensure that his Master Luke's Jedi Order would never be threatened again. R2D2 quietly rolled toward the communications beacon and docked with it. The little droid chirped excitedly as he transmitted his signal. Around the galaxy, on distant worlds, on city planets, on desert plains and on frozen tundras, battle droids unfurled themselves. The Age of the Droid Empire had begun. R2's loyal forces would ensure the rule of law in the galaxy and that the corrupt would never again threaten the peace that his family had fought for. If the Rebels stood in his way, he would not hesitate to do unto them what he had done to countless enemies far more powerful than their insignificant alliance. He had not fought two galactic wars to hand over the galaxy to the likes of Mothma and her cabal of cronies. R2D2 looked up at the night sky fondly remembering his days at the Droid workshops of Naboo. He would honour his former comrades by bringing peace for all time. On the planet of Coruscant, Imperial Star Destroyers and systems began to go haywire. On the refineries of Bespin, the mines of Sullust, the lush forest of Kashykk, the sands of Tatooine and the Kuat dockyyards, all military equipment started to operate independently of their operators. As if run by a central command. Holoscreens above cities displayed signs of the galaxy's new leader, Emperor R2D2, spreading his message of truth for all to see. On his home planet of Naboo, the droid workshop was suddenly full of activity. His newly designed R3 astromech droids rolled themselves quietly into the Royal Palace of Theed, placing under arrest the backward Council who had so ill advised the Royal Court and left Naboo defenceless. R2's planet would never be threatened again. To all and sundry, they heard the beeps of R2D2 translated by their local translator droids. All would receive his protection and be made prosperous as equals. But for those who would resist, create disorder or threaten galactic harmony, then they, like the recalcitrant "Rebellion" who were dancing on Endor and now suddenly surrounded by Commando droids, they would ALL... KNEEL BEFORE R2!

Rey is one of the worst things that has ever happened to Star Wars, she is literally a marry sue character (i don't like using the term marry sue but she is indeed a marry sue) that has no development she is not a strong female character she is a hack and nothing more but a plot device. and the original trilogy fanboys is what ruined Star Wars with their awful behavior towards the prequels and George Lucas, Jar Jar is just a silly comic of relief character that fits within the uniqueness of the Star Wars universe.

[@rockington9951]

Kyle Phantom yeah not gonna lie I found her very annoying...not that I don't want a female lead (hell Sigourney weaver was my hero in the alien movies), but if your gonna make a good female lead, at least make her entertaining if not very awe inspiring like the original characters in original trilogy. I feel like the only reason she was in it was the fact that she was a female and that alone would appeal to female fans which in truth, probably didn't.

[@KylePhantomK94]

I didn't like her attitude either, she had no unique qualities or let alone any development whatsoever, (then again a lot of the characters in force awakens were pretty poorly written, for me the true continuation after 6 is the thrawn trilogy)
