Definition

Originally a Star Wars droid (technically standing for film production notation 'Reel 2, Dialog Track 2'), R2D2 became the iconic trash-can-shaped robot who beeps, boops, and somehow manages to save the galaxy repeatedly. George Lucas accidentally created one of the most beloved characters in sci-fi history.

Example Usage

R2D2's adorable chaos-causing personality is basically what makes the original trilogy watchable.
