Trivia

Artoo's bungee jump was performed three times at a real bungee jump attraction located at Fox Studios, Sydney, Australia. The first two times a bungee cord was used, but was not on the third try, which is the footage in the documentary. A special R2 was created for this scene, and was completely destroyed. The emergency room follow-up scene was shot seven months later at Petaluma Valley Hospital, Petaluma, California.

Quotes

Ben Burtt: Artoo is a brilliant actor. His timing is impecable. He's like a machine.

George Lucas: There was a point where we had a very difficult time. I kinda lost it a little bit. And I did light up a blow torch in front of him. But I didn't use it.

Samuel L. Jackson: I'm not so sure if that accent is the real deal. Homeboy's probably from Detroit or something.
