An R2-D2 dome from the production of George Lucas' Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. R2 (Kenny Baker) and his fellow droid, C-3PO (Anthony Daniels), aided Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) in protecting Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman).

The fifth film in the Star Wars series and the second prequel, Attack of the Clones became the then third-highest three-day opening weekend of all time. Like its predecessors, the film was nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Visual Effects.

This grey and blue-painted fibreglass dome features a wooden interior and original paintwork from production. It was made for production but never used on camera for Attack of the Clones, however the dome sustained damage during a documentary associated with the film, which is believed to be Spencer Susser's mockumentary R2-D2: Beneath the Dome. There is a bungee-jumping stunt in the film which may have been the source of this damage. The square centre eye frame is original, though the eye dome within it, the red panel at the front of the dome, and the holoprojectors are replicas added after production. Some additional paint touch-up work has been performed but the extensive damage resulting from the stunt is still present including a large crack across the front, minor cracks throughout, a loose lens, and chipped paint. Dimensions: 48.5 cm x 43.25 cm x 33 cm (19" x 17" x 13")

Estimate: £10,000 - 20,000 US
