An original R2-D2 prop used in several Star Wars films has sold for a staggering $2.76 million at auction.
The R2-D2 prop was reportedly assembled from components in the classic Star Wars trilogy, and used in the prequel trilogy films Episode I – The Phantom Menace and Episode II – Attack of the Clones.
R2-D2, along with his droid counterpart C-3PO, is without question one of the most iconic characters in the Star Wars universe.
In six of the Star Wars films, R2-D2 was operated by actor Kenny Baker, who died in August of 2016 at age 81.
