Is that Gilligan?
Where TFs the rest of him? That R2 unit isn’t big enough for his body!
Wow, they had Chapman camera dollies in the seventies? I thought they were a more recent invention.
Kill him! He knows things!

Kenny Baker is a dwarf/little person (whichever is more politically correct wherever you’re from) that played as R2D2 in all 6 Star Wars movies.
The first 5, the last one R2D2 was CG the whole movie.
He’s credited in all 6 movies, along with Anthony Daniels. Presumably there were a few scenes that were not CGI.
He got credited for it, so all 6…
@Thomas they had lots of things in the 70’s.
They didn’t have AIDS… Or Digg… Or endless internet porn… No one is quite sure how they survived. Some say that if you listen very carefully on a dark night, you can still hear the moans of the suffering set to an Earth Wind and Fire song.
if r2 d2 is funny
He looks to big to fit in there
I wish we had a ‘making of’ documentary of EP4. I mean a real, in depth look it all. Oh wait, we already do, hosted by some droids: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0295414/
He could have been a dwarf.
His feet were actually in the feet of r2
That may possibly be the stupidest website name I’ve ever seen.

Yes, Pinky is right. There isn’t really any epic win here. That’s the actor that played R2 D2. You didn’t think they had the budget to build an actual working robot did you?
Looks like Ray Bolger.

The piece of paper in front of him… are his lines?
…It’s the same feeling as when Mom and Dad told me Father Christmas wasnt real!
R2D2: Powered by Kenny Baker. coffee and chili dogs!
Wow. It’s such a shame more people haven’t heard about this place, this covered just the thing I needed!
This is older than the Internets. No, not really but damn close.
R2d2 is munching away! LOL SO funny.
I think I just felt my childhood die.
The internet, as old as it is, never ceases to surprise me. Look at this interesting find. There’s just so much to learn and so little time.
I really like this blog. Please continue the great work. Regards!!!
What did he do in there? Were there actual motors to drive it? I always thought they just pulled it wit a rope.
Wow, great photos always bring back great memories.
