A peek inside Star Wars robots

I found this article on the net today and did a quick search for the website on here to see if it had been posted before. It seems not. Sorry if it's a repost.

It's a pdf of an article showing the inside of R2, the Death Star RC car based droid, and a couple of others.

I hope it might help anyone building one.

Thanks for posting that. I snagged a pic from the actual droid manual they used during filming from an ebay auction a year or so back, but this is much more awesome.

 

Very cool. Thanks for that!

 

It's always fascinating to find vintage articles about SW. No matter how old they are, they never get old! Very interesting; thanks for posting this up.

 

yes great article , I found one several years ago on ebay as well.

Thanks for posting, that's awesome!

 

I've seen that posted occasionally, but always forgot to save it. Thanks!

Has anyone done a replica Treadwell or the domed droid? I always liked those two.

 

Here's more info from the same site. Another classic article. More reading here, less visual.

Plenty more to see if you change the directory of the web address.

 

Very cool find :thumbsup
