(...) I think Obi-Wan speaks the truth when he says he never owned R2. Since R2 was originally aboard the Queen's ship, so I'd say he's technically Padme/Amidala's droid. But being Chosen One, can R2 ever really be "owned" per se? :) Also, did I (...) (22 years ago, 27-May-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

I've been picking up the Star Wars Fact File in Australia over here, and it never mentions R2's built-in rockets on his two outer traction arms.

Well, yesterday I went to the launch of HMAS Ballarat, the 8th ANZAC frigate launched at the Tenix shipyards. This leaves just 2 more to be launched from the contract for 10, worth around AU$6 billion. The ballarat will now be fitted out & trialed (...)
