This project chronicles the assembly of the Fanhome (DeAgostini) R2-D2, perhaps the most iconic astromech droid from the galaxy far, far away. Every Star Wars fan is familiar with this legendary bot, and now Fanhome offers an incredible opportunity to recreate R2-D2 in stunning 1/2 scale.

Let’s be upfront—this is not a budget-friendly endeavor. However, the level of detail and functionality packed into this droid makes it worth considering for dedicated fans. When completed, this R2-D2 features voice recognition, some AI-driven behaviors, and the ability to be controlled via a smartphone app. Alternatively, you can simply let it roam autonomously as it dances and showcases its signature personality, just like the R2-D2 we all know and love.

This remarkable project captures the essence of R2-D2, with features that truly make it feel alive. From its interactive responses to its iconic movements, this build delivers a bot with all the charm and attitude that have made R2-D2 a timeless Star Wars favorite.

Unfortunately, I didn’t take many pictures during those early stages. However, I promise that for the upcoming issues, I’ll provide plenty of photos to showcase every step of the build.
