R2-D2 is out of his droid hole and back in as well… How? Dagobah (Yoda’s Front Yard): Luke clearly lands safely here and leaves just as safely.So how did R2-D2 get out - and get back into - the X-Wing while parked in the desert? But later on it’s clear that Luke arrived in his X-Wing. Tatooine (Jabba’s Palace): The droids show up at Jabba’s Palace alone at the beginning of the film.Assuming Luke landed on one of those Cloud City landing platforms, I can’t imagine there was some astromech droid lifting apparatus. Bespin (Cloud City): We see Luke arrive with R2-D2 following right behind him.Then when Luke leaves Dagobah later on, how did R2-D2 get back into the X-Wing? Dagobah (Yoda’s Front Yard): After Luke crash lands his X-Wing into a swamp on Dagobah, R2-D2 gets out of the X-Wing - via some elevator device that pushes him back out - but then falls into the swamp after the ship jostles just a little bit.So one can assume he was put back in the droid hole by some lifter in the Rebel base on Hoth. Hoth (Rebel Base): During the Rebel evacuation of Hoth, we see R2-D2 is already in the cockpit of Luke’s X-Wing fighter waiting for Luke to return.And when Luke comes back to Yavin after blowing up the Death Star R2-D2 is effectively disabled in the battle so he has to be pulled out again by that lifter thing. Yavin (Rebel Base): We see R2-D2 being lifted into the X-Wing fighter by some kind of lifting device clearly needs help in that instance.How exactly do astromech droids - such as R2-D2 - get into that droid hole in the back of the X-Wing to begin with?įor example, this is what I know about R2-D2 and X-Wings as seen in the original trilogy: Star Wars (1977) Astromech droids are used in similar ways for other small craft such as the N-1 Starfighter or Jedi Starfighter shown in the prequels where they mount themselves from the bottom of the craft.īut this question is specifically about the T-65 model X-Wing where there is simply not enough clearance beneath the X-Wing’s fuselage for an astromech droid to roll underneath and mount themselves. The T-65 model X-Wing uses an astromech droid - such as R2-D2 - to handle miscellaneous tasks required to pilot an X-Wing: Tasks like navigation, small repairs, assist in piloting and such.
