  Perhaps the most famous droid in the Star Wars universe is R2-D2.  This little blue astromech droid has been with the heroes of the galaxy since the very beginning.  R2 served alongside Anakin Skywalk and Padmé Amidala, their children Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, and finally young Jedi Rey and her friends.

While R2-D2's main function is that of an astromech (responsible for helping pilot X-wing fighters and other spacecraft), the droid has performed countless other tasks, too.  In fact, R2 and C-3PO are the only characters to have appeared in every Star Wars film (except Solo: A Star Wars Story).  R2-D2 was also one of the first characters ever to appear on screen in the original Star Wars trilogy. In addition to his willingness to help his friends and go above and beyond his duties as an astromech, R2-D2 is also known for his spunky personality.  This is especially noticeable in his interactions with other droids, like C-3PO.  When R2's noises are translated by other characters, his comments are often sarcastic and critical.  R2 also does not hesitate to use electric shocks to deter or threaten enemies (and sometimes friends).

Between his honorable deeds and unforgettable personality, it's no wonder so many people have sought to rebuild R2-D2 in the real world.
