(...) Actually, being the huge Star Wars geek I am, I don't think R2 ever zaps Yoda... All he does is grab at the lamp with his arm. He DOES zap an Ewok in ROTJ though... he also uses a small buzz-saw to cut through a net that they get trapped in... (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

Wow, you had a hell lot of lego for a 13 year old teen, and apparently you had a well developed building ability to deserve that much lego..:-) Very nice models, even for an adult. I have pictures of one of my pre dark age MOCS, too. Look at here (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I think it was in the "Dagobah System", no doubt mispelled. I remember that bit in the movie too; I like it when Yoda starts hitting R2D2 with a stick. They were arguing over a small torch or something :-) Jennifer Clark (25 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

I'm working a few of these ideas, but basically I was annoyed at how *SMALL* it was (the DDK) so I've started making a "life" sized R2 simmilar to Eric Harshburger's and the one at Legoland, but this won't be a static sculpture. The head will turn, (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)
