He saves the day all through the prequels the animated series and the OT
It’s criminal who he’s been left aside. Ok he’s had important and vital moments. But you can have him in it for him and still give him those moments.
I can’t even tell who he’s with now. He’s just sorta there. Neglected. I hate that

MAKE UP YOUR MINDS!
This is BB8 time now!
I love BB8 and I'm glad he's the "featured" droid. But, yeah, I miss R2 and I hate how he's been relegated to an afterthought -- especially by JJ. It looks lie 3PO is gonna get a real send-off (obviously speculating here). And that's great. But to me R2 is far more important and vital to the saga. If 3PO gets a big goodbye and R2 doesn't get anything... that will be a bummer, to me. Not a deal breaker, obviously. But a real bummer.
R2 has the whole story all of it in his memory.
All of it.
In fact I’d say that might be the opener for the next trilogy. How do we beat the new evil? This little droid has all the events stored in in his brain!
R2 is probably my favorite character.
That scene with him meeting Luke again on the falcon will always make me cry and laugh.
Hey! Sacred island watch the language!
And then he shows him Leia
Crafty little bugger. He is the heart of Star Wars.

disney market research showed that BB8-related merchandise projected to produce 17.3% more revenue than comparable R2D2 offerings

Only ship I ever owned. My gran brought and glen on the train to Northern Ireland (cheaper shopping at the time) bought us both x wings and we had them out on the train home holding them up to the window as the landscape flew by to make it look like they were flying.
I had the battle damage stickers an never knew why anyone woul put them on, makes your x wing look all beat up and shit.
Now. I’ll weather the ever living shit out of anything to make it look beaten up:)
I wish I still had that x wing. Such a genius simple design.
Push down on R2s head to open S foils for attack position

And he only speaks with beeps and boops and electric farts. It’s amazing

Snowspeeders
The good thing about having a brother was we could each get different ships instead of doubling up. If I got a y-wing he’d get the snowspeeder. I get the rebel cruiser he gets the imperial shuttle.
I need to get to the basement and see what I have left. Those we some great toys. Love the rebel cruiser came with extra weapons and accessories for your action figures.
