One Of The Most Beloved Characters In The Star Wars Universe

This amazing three-dimensional miniature was created by 3D master sculptor Alejandro Pereira Ezcurra. It’s an amazing statuette of the small, dome-headed, cylindrical droid. In the films, R2 is adorned with blue and white panels, blinking lights, and a series of retractable tools, making it instantly recognizable as one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars universe. According to Lucas, the design for R2-D2 was inspired while he served as director on the 1973 film American Graffiti. The film’s sound editor Walter Murch asked Lucas for Reel 2, Dialog Track 2, which Lucas abbreviated to “R-2-D-2.” Lucas said he liked the name and developed the character around it.

Antique Finish Adds Even Greater Depth And Dimension

Struck in 4.82 ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this impressive miniature stands 55 mm tall and measures 50 mm at the base. Plus, the miniature’s silver purity, Lucasfilm copyright and unique production number are engraved on the base. It has been given a gorgeous antique finish that adds even greater depth and dimension to the already highly detailed piece. Typically applied by hand, this antiqued finish means that no two miniatures are exactly alike!
