Was so sad to hear of his passing yesterday. Had the pleasure of meeting him in the past...a true funny guy to chat with.
Thanks for the life that you brought to R2. You will be missed.

So sad, met him a couple of times over the years at sci-fi fairs and the like.
When I made my Artoo it was only ever going to be the two legged version because that version seemed real and alive to me as a 7yr old kid, of course it was because Kenny was in there and I didn't understand.
