He simply repeated common phonetic sounds until he discovered one that he enjoyed.","In [The Making of the Empire Strikes Back], it is suggested that R2-D2's name was, in fact, derived from the film term ""Reel 2, Dialogue 2."" However, in [The Annotated Screenplays], Lucas corrected the tale and revealed that all of the characters' names were created phonetically to be pleasing to hear and easy to say.
Is this official word that 'The Making of the Empire strikes Back' was indeed released?

I thought of that as well. But maybe they are refering to the book, Once Upon a Galaxy: A Journal of the Making of The Empire Strikes Back (Del Rey, 1980)
