    ....there was a person inside R2 D2 ?
    Never knew that. Always thought it was just a remote control robot.

    Prolific actor. Didn't always see him, of course. Will definitely be missed. Here's one of my favorite's in which you actually saw him:

    The Blu-ray extras showed r2 had cables hooked to his leg when bb was bumping him and at the end with fake chewy next to the ship, perhaps he was sick at the time, he was at the cast reading of the show

    OH WOW I honestly did NOT know there was someone INSIDE of RD-D2...seriously.

    And this man was in TIME BANDITS TOO?? Loved that movie growing up



    as did Star Wars.

    RIP Good Sir.

    His last r2 acting was revenge, his health the last few years didn't allow him to act :(

    I started to post another RIP R2-D2.....

    ...needless to say I reported myself for a repeating post, getting it derailed, and asking to be banned from forums.....

    Actually bro, the expression is "One with the Force". Nice try though. Good effort there.

    He's the one in the middle, right? I never liked that movie. The take on God just doesn't sit right with me.

    The one in the middle with the red coat is David Rappaport. Kenny Baker is to the left of Rappaport in the front row.

    As for the film, keep in mind it's a Terry Gilliam film written with one of his Monty Python co-stars Michael Palin, so you're going to get some unique takes on everything in that movie. ;)

    Thought the one in the middle was Willow (no, not the hot witch from Buffy) at first, had an idea Artoo was the one with the funny hat and the bottle of hootch :D

    Nope, that was Warwick Davis who played Willow. Davis played Wicket the Ewok in Return of the Jedi and he played Griphook the Goblin and Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter films as well. imdb says he's got a role coming up in Rogue One, too.

    Agreed. Gilliam is not for everyone, but I've long been a fan. Rappaport, sadly, committed suicide in 1990, which is why Time Bandits never got a sequel.
