StarWars R2-D2 in the auction... It is expensive !

The movie " StarWars " series, the smaller of the droid uneven combination that can also be said to be the protagonist of the shadow R2-D2. This robot is loved the most in the world was auctioned at the auction house "Profiles in History" in Amelia, California. The winning bid price is $ 2.76 million!

However, it is not the original R2-D2 that was awarded. It was reconstructed using the original parts used in the former trilogy of "Star Wars" (Episode 4, 5, 6) and the first two episodes (episodes 1 and 2) of the new trilogy. Somehow it looks like a boat of The uses, I feel like being real R2-D2, but it feels like a Frankenstein monster made from R2-D2 that came out in the movies ...

Nonetheless, R2-D2 was made for movies a lot. In "Star Wars Episode 4 - New Hope" there are 2 people playing in and 2 remote controllers. In "Star Wars Episode 5 - Empire Strikes Back", 8 units including those falling into the water at Dagobah are produced. In the new trilogy, there were many scenes in which R2 was drawn with CG, but still, it seems that 15 units were made at the time of "Star Wars Episode 3 - Revenge of Sith".

These auctions have been held so far, and in 2008 the light saver (actually known as "Luke's lightsaber" ) that Mark Hamill actually used at the time of the shooting was made by Anakin) It is fresh to remember that the bid was made for 240 thousand dollars. Also according to Hollywood.com, in Profiles in History where an auction was held this time, "Luke Lightsaber" which was owned by Gary Kurz who was a producer at episode 4 and 5 in the past, is Ripley's Believe It or Not! it has been the successful bid in the 450,000 US dollars.

Kenny Baker, known as the suit actor of R2-D2, left this world last year and will be performed by Jimmy Vie who studied the "technique" of R2-D2 acting directly from Baker in the future series. So please read those who can not afford millions but will not let you love R2-D2.
