R2-D2: Hero of the Star Wars Universe

[MrScorpio]

Hidden amongst the grandeur and enormity of it all, we’re reminded by one of the physically smallest of characters, Jedi Master Yoda, that size matters not. That point is driven home as he asks Luke Skywalker, “Judge me by my size, do you?” While the acts of heroism in this universe are large and sweeping, we contend that it’s another diminutive character, standing a mere .96 meters, that is the true hero of the Star Wars universe. Yes, we’re talking about everyone’s favorite astromech droid, R2-D2.
