Yes I saw the new Star Wars movie.
Without giving away too much; R2 does make his return along with a few other familiar faces.
But a majority of the screen-time as far as droids go went to BB-88; the new "soccer ball" droid who replaced R2. Literally, he replaced his main role because...well...if you've seen the movie; he plays the role R2 did in 'A New Hope' almost exactly.
R2 was actually asleep for the duration of this film due to his depression over Luke Skywalker. (I dunno why; but I find it funny that a droid/robot can get depressed. XD)
So I think R2 is a little cranky that BB-88 rolled in to steal his thunder. He's using that optional third leg of his to give that new droid a good kicking. GOAL!!! XD
Also; does this pic reflect my thoughts on 'Force Awakens?' Sort of. It's a really good and well made movie, don't get me wrong. J.J. Abrams did it a good service as a Star Wars fan as opposed to how the prequels were made.
But it still had major problems that left me feeling a bit angry; especially what happened near the end.
I take it most of you have yet to see it; so I won't reveal what I mean. I'll let you figure out what your emotions are near the end.
Of course those who did see it are welcome to share their thoughts too.
And yeah; the details on R2 are hard to draw. I haven't drawn that droid in years.![Bucktooth :B]()
