An R2-D2 (Kenny Baker) dyeline schematic from the production of Irvin Kershner's Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Along with his fellow droid C-3PO (Anthony Daniels), "Artoo" appeared in all but one film in the Star Wars saga as a companion of the Skywalker clan and ally to the Rebellion. Originally rendered for A New Hope by draftsman Peter Childs on 20th Century Fox drafting paper labeled "Robot R2," this example was printed for Empire Strikes Back.

The printed blueprint shows a front elevation of the R2-D2 droid, which features extensive measurements and annotations. The sheet is dated "20.1.76" with a reissue date of "23 Jan. 76. The lot exhibits small tears, marks on the reverse and several-fold lines from previous storage. Dimensions: 44.5" x 30.25" (113 cm x 77 cm)
