After all these years I didn’t think these films held any more surprises for me. Until earlier this year I discovered a new droid I had never noticed before! It can be found in the first shot of the Executor bridge as the Rebels are trying to sneak onto Endor in the shuttle Tydirium:
A closer examination of what’s left of the prop reveals that it’s a retooled torture droid given an Imperial makeover:
I believe this droid is the unacknowledged inspiration for K-2SO. As they share the same basic shape and height. In that same shot, a crewman approaches the droid and it towers over him. He’s hard to make out in stills, so I’ve outlined him:
So I was thinking, in line with the TFA bunk easter egg in ESBR. You might consider something like this?:
Just a thought!
Wow I never noticed that at all.
It would be really neat and a nice easter egg if we get a K2 unit there. It wouldn’t be so obvious in your face but if you catch it that’s neat!
