- Speculation/Details about Black R2-D2 (It’s not black because of the blue-screen process, they actually used a black-painted R2 to specifically avoid problems with the blue-screen process)…
I won’t nitpick about this too much except to point out that, if you take note of R2’s light just below his optical lense, the blue also goes out there. Now, this could also be proof towards the idea that there was a black R2 on set. Just thought I’d point that out.
