Vintage STAR WARS Photo - George Lucas with Unfinished R2-D2

Photos Movie George Lucas R2-D2 Star Wars about 11 years agoby Joey Paur

Here's a great vintage photo from the set of the original Star Wars featuring George Lucas with an unfinished R2-D2 droid. The photo was taken in 1975 when Lucas made a visit to his production special effects team. One of the things I like about this photo is the fact that it reminds us that R2 was made out of wood, because I never think about that when watching the movies.
