Art Gallery
Some of the finest artists in the Star Wars community have been gracious enough to commemorate R2-KT in their work. Click here to visit the gallery of their work, which is simply beautiful.
R2-KT has a lot of friends. Some of them have even paid homage in their own unique ways. Here's a collection of some of the 'postcards' she's received over the years.
Activities and Coloring Pages
In what has to be the funniest twist on R2, Star Wars the official website designed an easy-to-create droidel dreidel for the Jewish holidays. Oy! If the page ever goes down, then I'm sure they won't mind that I copied the file locally for all the boys and girls to enjoy. Clieck here to see the official Star Wars site

R2-KT's Photoshop Photo-Album
R2-KT has had some off-world adventures, thanks to some photoshop magic. Here are the four jawas from our Toys-For-Tots event, posing with R2-KT in Tattooine.
Click here and here to load the photoshop files if you'd like to try and photoshop the gang into other locations. I'll be happy to post them here on R2-KT's picture gallery.
Wacky Droids from around the web
At Celebration 3 in 2005 I wandered into the droid room by accident while in my stormtrooper armor. One of the droid builders put together a very cool deathstar wall backdrop for people to get their pictures with R2 and threepio. I stepped up just to look at the droids, but an endless stream of fans wanted me in the picture.
Finally my wife Kathy came to save me. Something about hanging out in the droid builders room was just so peaceful. There was this enormous field of positive Star Wars energy being given off. It was probably my favorite place in the entire Celebration.

Neat collage of droids created and posted on the r2builders group page.
Eric Harshbarger created this masterpiece, which can be seen at his website: www.ericharshbarger.org
In 1999 students at MIT broke into the great dome on campus and converted it to a tribute to our favorite droid.
Another R2 makeover was done on the Steward Observatory in Arizona in 2005. Can someone have them make over the water tower near my house?

Droid Reference Chart
Hasbro released an Astromech Series I and II set of droid action figures. Here's the copy from the advertisement:
You've seen these droids before while watching the movies... but where can you find them? Here's a quick guide.
R2-A6, R2-M5, and R2-C4 can be seen serving the royalty of Naboo during Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. R4-A22 wanders around the Coco district on Coruscant during Attack of the Clones.
Those looking for R4-E1 and R3-T2 need look no further than Mos Eisley Spaceport, right around the Cantina scene, in the original Star Wars while R3-T6 can be seen on board the original Death Star. R2-X2 can be seen in the Rebel briefing before the attack on the giant space station, while R2-Q2 can be seen at the beginning of the film when Leia is captured, as well as in the socket of an X-wing Fighter at the end-- just who does he work for, anyway?
Finally, fans of R3-Y2 know he's hiding in the Hoth Rebel Base scenes in the Empire Strikes Back, just barely visible as the Rebels realize the Empire is on to them. So there you have it! Each and every one of these droids was designed by Lucasfilm for use on-screen in the Star Wars Saga-- keep an eye out for them next time you watch the movies!
Karen Maxwell posted on ravelry.com in October 2007 that she had completed a custom R2-KT knit cap she had made in honor of the droid. She writes, "R2-KT is finished. I finally tucked in all of the loose ends tonight while watching Torchwood with my friend Coleen. Yes I love the Sci-Fi.
I knitted R2-KT in Knit Pick's Wool of the Andes Lake Ice Heather, Pink Cheeks, Black and Red, on size six circs and dpns. I followed mega(k)nit's recon page and Alison's Warm A** Hat pattern a bit for help remembering how to do double knit. This hat is warm. I plan on actually wearing it this winter. Happy knitting.
She also posted a picture of her with her sister, wearing matching droid caps. Where were those on Hoth when they needed them?
