Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… everyone’s favorite droid. R2-D2 started life as just an ordinary repair droid, fixing ships with other droids just like him. But his bravery and perseverance were noted by Queen Padme Amidala, and he soon became part of her small group of core assistants. R2-D2, or “R2,” as he’s often called, is often accompanied by his friend C3PO, a protocol droid. Out of the two, many would argue that R2 is significantly more helpful, due to the numerous gadgets he keeps in his metal body and his calm under pressure, unlike the bundle of nerves that is C3P0.
Personality... adventurous, loyal, and sassy, at least by droid standards. R2 has quite a few adventures under his belt, and his quick thinking and resourcefulness have saved the day numerous times. Although he can’t talk in human terms, he usually manages to indicate what he means through beeps, whirrs, and, occasionally, turning and rolling away.

Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones
There is a great disturbance in the Force. . . . From the sleek ships of the glimmering Coruscant skyscape to the lush gardens of pastoral Naboo, dissent is roiling. The Republic is failing, even under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, elected ten years earlier to save the crumbling government. Separatists threaten war, and the Senate is hopelessly divided, unable to determine whether to raise an army for battle or keep the fragile peace. It is a stalemate that once broken, could lead to galactic chaos.
Mischievous and resolved, courageous to the point of recklessness, Anakin Skywalker has come of age in a time of great upheaval. The nineteen-year-old apprentice to Obi-Wan Kenobi is an enigma to the Jedi Council, and a challenge to his Jedi Master. Time has not dulled Anakin’s ambition, nor has his Jedi training tamed his independent streak. When an attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala’s life brings them together for the first time in ten years, it is clear that time also has not dulled Anakin’s intense feelings for the beautiful diplomat.
The attack on Senator Amidala just before a crucial vote thrusts the Republic even closer to the edge of disaster. Masters Yoda and Mace Windu sense enormous unease. The dark side is growing, clouding the Jedi’s perception of the events. Unbeknownst to the Jedi, a slow rumble is building into the roar of thousands of soldiers readying for battle. But even as the Republic falters around them, Anakin and Padmé find a connection so intense that all else begins to fall away. Anakin will lose himself—and his way—in emotions a Jedi, sworn to hold allegiance only to the Order, is forbidden to have.
Based on the story by George Lucas and the screenplay by George Lucas and Jonathan Hales, this intense and revealing novel by bestselling author R. A. Salvatore sheds new light on the legend of Star Wars—and skillfully illuminates one of our most beloved sagas.
