A remote-controlled light-up R5 droid from the production of J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Within the Star Wars universe R5 astromech droids were considered budget versions of the more iconic R2 series and were used to fix equipment and machinery. Although not seen in the final cut of the film, this R5 droid was rented into the production and has a fully functioning body.

The droid has a resin, acrylic and fibreglass frame and a resin head, and is hand-painted predominantly white and yellow, with intentional distressing applied to make it appear dirtied, rusted and well-used. Inside its body are two stickers, reading "Creature FX Dept Pinewood 2014" and "Creature FX Dept Pinewood 2015", respectively. The droid has an internal battery that can be recharged using an accompanying cable.

The droid is controlled using a modified PlayStation controller. The head can only move from side to side, but the body has more functionality, with different controller inputs manipulating the movement, lights, actions and sounds. Two flaps at the front open up, and the droid's lights can be made to flash. It also makes a variety of noises, including electronic sounds, music and even dialogue. The droid has some wear from production use, beyond the intentional distress, and comes with a laminated sheet of input commands. Dimensions: 72 cm x 62 cm x 130 cm (28 1/4" x 24 1/2" x 51 1/4")
