He didn't kill anyone though. He was just there. I'm not an R2 apologist, but this is turning into a witchhunt!

Hitler never killed anyone either. Neither did Charlie Manson.

I never thought about how many people must have been on the Death Star before. It was after all supposed to be the size of a small moon or something. We only ever see the military crew, but just imagine the size of the cleaning and catering staff alone!

R2-D2 was instrumental in taking down the Death Star. He was the mole who was in possession of the stolen data tapes, and he was Luke's co-pilot droid when the Death Star was attacked. R2 was the Bonnie to Luke's Clyde.

If you're gigging at a secluded place called the Death Star, you can't say there weren't any omens telling you it might be a bad idea.

I wish I was old enough to bitch about how much better it was before everyone and their mother decided to geek out on Star Wars.
