Aside from mixing up the P2 and the R1, those pics are right.

Thanks, Es!

No probs.

I hadn't realised they had switched the P2 and R1 though.

Any "ads" for any those in that issue? I'd love to see what WEG's folks came up with as in-universe ads from IA for all those astromechs. Love to see the one they put in the second edition revised and expanded.

The Essential Guide to Droids has several astromech pics, but not all. Especially now that all the prequels are out.

The reason why R4-P17 in AOTC had a domed R2's head was, according to the AOTC Scrapbook, its head was squashed in an accident and it was rebuilt with an R2 head. Any explanation as to why EVERY non-R2-D2 astromech in ROTS is called R4?
