Patrick Connor's Astromech Droid Project
Currently, my Astromech project is in the planning and fundraising stage. My initial plans are to build a replica of R2-Q5, an Astromech droid built for the Galactic Empire. He was a well-equipped droid, having spy devices and equipment for repairing starships. He is only ever seen once during any of the six movies, in the background of a scene in Return of the Jedi.
Current plans are to mount the following items into R2-Q5 after he is completed. If you have any ideas or would like to make donations of parts/money, please be sure to contact me. If you are unfamiliar with any of the terminology I use below, use this diagram as a reference.
