May I just say, Skippy, that I love the name you've chosen for yourself. =D

Yeah, I just recently found out that the R5-D4 from A New Hope has it's own backstory. I love it :D

But Luke calls it an R2 unit... You mean the action figure didn't have its name retconned like Walrus Man, Hammerhead and Snaggletooth?! Kenner's EU for the win! Does this backstory divulge whether he is an R2 unit or an R5 unit? I know 'tis a bit off topic, feel free to start an entire thread about this if necessary ;)
