Yea, me too. I’m pretty sure the last time we saw a live action RA-7 was in A New Hope. I am really happy to see that droid again! Also, I just wanted to point out that the costume is expensive as hell because of the chrome platings. For reference, I had a Daft Punk helmet chromed and it ended up costing me $350. Just imagine how much it would cost to chrome a full-body suit! I’m glad to see that they are putting a lot of money and effort into costumes for extras. It really adds realism to the movie and it’s cool to see that they are doing this.

It’s always going to be Death Star Droid to me, thanks to Kenner. The original suit still exists, so they might have dusted it off?

Didn’t it appear in the Sandcrawler?
EDIT [I see that it appear briefly in the background on the DS], but it’s a bit weird that Kenner would name it after a scene where it’s in the background as opposed to the scene where it’s center-frame.
(Then again Kenner did get 4-LOM and Zuckuss mixed up)
