“The unit is in 3D print. It was made by my friend Dan Falk. He has a red one called R2-TFC. I wanted to make a tribute to my friend Kenny Baker as he passed on my birthday in 2016.“
Per is already setting his sights on KT taking the fan world by storm: “I am ready to work. The hospitals are just opening for us again. We are in contact and will soon be visiting again!“
Some keen Star Wars fans may notice that yes, that IS indeed Norwegian actress Ingvild Deila, who played Princess Leia in Rogue One. The CG may have made it hard to recognize her, but her beauty is a perfect match for the hero of Alderaan. And we’re so happy to see her next to KT15! Beautiful!
