Several R2-D2 models were built for the original Star Wars films; one that was remote controlled and rolled on three wheeled legs, and others which were worn by English actor Kenny Baker and walked on two legs. In Attack of the Clones, set 10 years after The Phantom Menace, R2-D2 again serves Obi-Wan and Anakin ( Hayden Christensen), who is now Obi-Wan's Jedi apprentice. R2-D2 appears in the sixth and seventh episodes of The Mandalorian spin-off series The Book of Boba Fett.
