TOPPS STAR WARS CARD COUNTDOWN #20


Card #3 from the blue (first) series set.

I’m always amazed on how much personality R2 has with just some beeps and whistles and limited movements! The human element comes out thanks to Kenny Baker, the actor inside of R2 and Ben Burtt for his award winning sound effects.

  1. Another iconic image. It's amazing how many there are in this movie. Great choice NC!!

  2. If only they'd used Kenny more for the prequels. The animated R2 stuff - especially when he's flying or bouncing around - is just lame. At least they gave him a few token scenes.
