If not, no prob... just one of those lines that's always bugged me. just wondering. You efforts are HUGELY appreciated by us salivating fans.

Forgive me but this really bugs me. (also really forgive me if you were joking)

If Luke Skywalker says it's an R2 unit, then why don't you believe him?

when you first saw the film did you think "hang on he's got that wrong!"? No. Why? because the films are the primary source of all known information about the Star Wars universe.

But what happened is that when they were designing the toys (or some other piece of tie-in merchandise) they didn't check their facts and they named it R5-.., and now your suggesting that the film is changed to fit in with other products that were named incorrectly because someone at some point didn't pay enough attention to the film.

It was always an R2 unit, it will always be an R2 unit, the whole system of astromech naming was only devised after the films were produced, and the prequels don't adhere to it so why would you suggest altering the original film to adhere to it?

again very sorry, rant over.
