‘Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back’
Kenny Baker would have turned 84 today, but what a rich legacy he left the (Star Wars, and real) universe. Namely the wondrous, highly skilled, slightly frantic, ultimate confidante and friend that is R2-D2, whose importance to the Skywalker story cannot be underestimated. Would the Falcon have made the jump to hyperdrive at the end of The Empire Strikes Back without R2? Of course not. One example of many. Rest well, Kenny Baker.
