R2-D2 Dies . . . Darn, Darn, Darn

[TheRustyScupper]

Rarely has an actor not seen or heard made such a big impact.
Kenny Baker, the actor who played R2-D2 in six of the Star Wars films, died Saturday,

...Darn, Darn, Darn? One of the most iconic character performers dies and that's how you decide to look at his death? Shame on you

Did you even read the rest of Rusty's post lauding Mr. Baker's accomplishments and impact on the industry? I genuinely don't understand why you feel the need to shame him for anything.

I read that part too, I said that because I don't know what the darn darn darn means. If he comes out and says it genuine then I will apologize, but for right now since you (I'm saying this collectively, not singling out anyone) can't read emotion through text I'm assuming the darn darn darn is negative.

GO GO GO Away. Leave The RS alone.

Yeah, no, I won't

Let's all be civil and nice about someone's death please. I don't want to have to give out warning or close a thread like this.

Was gonna say ... spoiler alert?

I don't think Kenny would be very happy to be remembered chiefly for being the man who operated the R2-D2 prop from the inside ... he made a lot of other movies and actually acted and starred in them.

The fascinating thing was how things changed in his lifetime.

He stated that it "wasn't expected"
That he would live past his teens...

And he started performing in a "midget troop"

At 81...he had a good go of it considering those beginnings. It's a different world.

And never forget...he save the heroes ___sses every single time they needed it.

Everyone loves R2-D2...everyone. Farewell, friend...anyone who was captured by the movies felt like we knew you...
