I have a question for the SW-freaks of netland. In SW-ANH and TESB, who was the *Real Hero*, without whom everyone else would been lost, and everyone would have fallen into the hands of the Empire? Of course, I have my own answer, which I will give along with my reasons. The answer is R2-D2! The reasons: 1) In SW-ANH, it was R2-D2 who was carrying the schematics for the Death Star; it was R2-D2 who went to find Obi-Wan Kenobi, who in turn enlisted (or drafted) Luke Skywalker, which got the whole ball rolling. Without those plans, the Rebellion could never have destroyed the Death Star. 2) In TESB, towards the end, Lando, Leia, Chewbacca and Luke are all aboard the Millenium Falcon (along w/C3-P0), and are getting ready to kick into hyperspace. They don't know that the mean old Empire mechanics disabled the hyperdrive. Darth Vader feels the ship in his grimy clutches..... when R2-D2 starts mumbling about the hyperdrive to C3-P0 (who is only partially reassembled). R2 heads off towards the back of the ship, plugs in a few wires, the hyperdrive kicks in, and EVERYBODY IS SAVED!!
