R2-D2's foot from George Lucas' Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and later, Disneyland's Star Wars: Star Tours. In the 1980s, Lucasfilm provided original props left over from the filming of the Star Wars trilogy to Star Tours, including one of R2's droid feet from The Empire Strikes Back, identified by its fibreglass construction, which replaced the aluminium used in the first film. This particular foot, taken from a costume prop version of R2, was included on a conveyor belt of loose droid parts which visitors passed while queuing for Star Tours.

Constructed from fibreglass and painted in R2's signature off-white and blue, this foot is currently affixed with a metal cable that was added when the piece was installed into Star Tours in order to suspend it from the attraction's ceiling, but the cable could be removed if desired. The foot features black slatted panelling on bottom, faux metal detailing on the sides, and two false wires on the back. The lower tread detail on the bottom of the foot was also added during its Star Tours installation. The metal plate on the inside of the foot can be opened and there is a welded metal bracket present where a wheel mechanism was once mounted during filming. The foot is covered in dust and grime from years of operation on Star Tours, and screws affixing the panels to one another exhibit rust from age. Dimensions: 35.75 cm x 23 cm x 25.5 cm (14" x 9" x 10")
