George Lucas was of the belief that R2-D2 is the Star Wars galaxy's ultimate hero, and there's plenty of evidence across the entire Skywalker saga.
According to George Lucas, R2-D2 is the Star Wars galaxy's ultimate hero, and there's plenty of evidence in the Skywalker saga and beyond to prove he's absolutely right. Although the galaxy is full of heroes such as the Jedi and the Rebels seeking to rid the galaxy of the Empire's tyranny, no character does more to save the day than the little blue and white astromech who's in every single episode of the Skywalker saga. Without Artoo, there would be no Star Wars .
George Lucas Explained How R2-D2 Was The Hero Of The Star Wars Following the release of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith in 2005, Lucas revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone just how important R2-D2 is to the Star Wars movies: "Even with R2, who is clever and ultimately the hero of the whole piece. He’s the Lassie of the movies: Whenever there’s a pivotal moment of real danger, he’s the one that gets everybody out of it".
R2-D2 saving the day is even more meaningful in the original trilogy. Keeping the Death Star plans safe until he could deliver them to the Rebellion in A New Hope, the entire galaxy has Artoo to thank for the battle station's destruction.
