The First Remote Controlled R2-D2
Posted by Dustin on July 30, 2005 at 11:20 AM CST:

At the recent Ohio Star Wars Collectors Club Summer Social, former Kenner employee Jim Swearingen had a portfolio of former projects he had worked on. This photo is the one that caught me eye! Jim explained that this was the first ever remote controlled R2-D2. It was never produced but was the basis for what eventually was ( shown here). I personally think this one looks super cool! Click the thumbnail above to check it out! Extra special thanks to my buddy Peter from Star Wars Trader NZ for the excellent photoshop touch up in the photo above!
