Congratulations!
You are a proud owner of R2-D2, an R2-series astromech utility droid from
Industrial Automaton, the galaxy’s finest maker of service automatons, and
distributed here on Earth by Hasbro. This droid is ready to obey certain
commands, play games, and assist you on your Jedi missions.
This particular R2 unit comes from the peaceful world of Naboo, where he and
a team of astromechs served Queen Amidala aboard her Royal Starship. R2-D2
has seen and taken part in many amazing adventures. He fought valiantly
alongside both Anakin and Luke Skywalker, aided the Old
Republic during the clone wars, and was instrumental to the
Rebellion against the Empire during the Galactic Civil War.
R2-D2 (or, alternately, Artoo Detoo) has been newly
programmed at our state-of-the-art factory to be
your devoted helper and friend: to obey your
commands, to act as your room sentry and
guard, and to play fun games with you
and your friends!
R2’s vocabulary of electronic beeps
and whistles doesn’t stop this droid
from trying to communicate with
human masters; he understands
certain commands, and usually
manages to get his points across,
too! To get started, simply follow
the instructions of this manual.
Please be aware that R2 is an
especially feisty astromech; when not
treated well, he will let you know
about it! But if you treat R2-D2 with
the same loyalty and dedication that
he will give to you, this little droid
may help you to
follow in the
footsteps of the illustrious Jedi
masters!
