R2-D2 though a droid actually had an actor inside him, Kenny Baker. Fun Fact: R2-D2 actually stands for Reel 2, Dialog Track 2.

(5) R2-D2 vs. (12) Boss Nass

Another easy pass for one of our main characters. Chewbacca moves into the next round with a victory over Admiral Ackbar. I was expecting that, but thought it may be a bit closer.

Anyway, the next matchup begins now. Happy Sunday!

(5) R2-D2

R2-D2 is an astromech droid created on the planet Naboo. He was originally placed on Queen Amidala's ship and was part of a handful of astromech droids that were there to repair the ship. R2-D2 was the lone droid that was able to help the ship get by the Trade Federation blockade, and thus was brought in as part of the group. He was the second part of the 'comedy duo' with C-3PO and despite his buddies constant knock downs, was a vital part in a lot of what the Rebels did to take down the Empire.

(12) Boss Nass

Boss Nass was the ruler/leader of the Gungans on Naboo. The Gungans had always felt that the people of Naboo always felt his kind were second-class citizens. When Jar Jar Binks brings Queen Amidala to the Gungans to gain help in the battle against the droids and the Trade Federation, Boss Nass agrees and the two groups agree to a peace treaty and co-exist on the planet in harmony.
