I wouldn't say that. You don't need to have frame-by-frame recall of Star Wars to see that it's clearly R2-D2 and C-3PO. There's just no getting around it, because of the way the shot is framed, around those four characters. Even if you manage to make R2 look like a very different droid, you just look at the shot and ask why there's another droid where R2 should be next to C-3PO. All respect to Adywan's amazing work, it's just with that shot I don't see what the big deal was. By all means, try to fix anything you don't like, after all, isn't that why most of us are here? But if the change fails in other ways, has it really accomplished anything?
Oh, I know, I said that earlier, I was responding to some of the comments trying to persuade the idea that it wasn't. It clearly is two robots used for the turn, and it's not very well timed, so I understand why you wanted to change it. But my thoughts were that it's almost impossible to change because the framing just screams that it's R2-D2.

I would rather the droid be a different color than to leave the shot as is. It's supposed to be R2, but yes it is much more distracting that the droid "teleports" than it is for the droid to be a different color, even if 3PO is gesturing to the droid.

Think of it as a "lesser of two evils", continuity-wise. In that sense, I believe that yes, it has accomplished something.
