An R2-SHP light-up remote control droid from J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. R2-SHP, also known as "Shep", served as an astromech droid at the Resistance base on Ajan Kloss and was seen in the background as Lieutenant Kaydel Ko Connix (Billie Lourd) helped the ailing General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) to her bed. The same R2 body was also paired with an R6-style dome (see next Lot) for additional filming; the astromech is easily recognizable due to its unique blue color scheme.

The droid is made predominantly from aluminum, including an all-aluminum external shell, as well as steel feet for durability. It features "holographic projectors" and strips of LEDs on the dome which illuminate and cycle through various colors when powered. The dome can be made to turn, and the droid has full drive capabilities, with the ability to move forward, backward, and turn. All of the unit's functionality is controlled with a Spektrum™ DX6i remote control.

In addition to its film appearance, R2-SHP is included on page 98 of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - The Ultimate Visual Guide with a small section about its backstory and personality; a copy of the book is included. This particular droid was also merchandised as a toy during the promotion of the film. The astromech droid is deliberately aged and distressed for usage in the film, and features minor wear-and-tear attributed to its actual use. The overall aesthetic is like much of the Rebellion's equipment, and in keeping with George Lucas' initial "used future" visual concept. The dome is removable for access to interior electronics and mechanics, and the inside of the dome is signed "Lee T." for Lee Towersey, a lead droid technician on this and other Star Wars sequel films. The power supply, charging units, and remote control unit to run the droid are all included. Dimensions: 29.5" x 27.5" x 43.5" (75 cm x 70 cm x 110 cm)
