Little did any of the criminal dregs suspect that Artoo carried in him Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, which he launched to the unarmed Jedi.

She also tasked Artoo to continue her other mission, that of contacting the long-lost Jedi Knight and Republic General, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Threepio and Artoo continued to be mainstays with the core group of Rebel heroes.

Determined to complete his mission, Artoo ran away in the middle of the night, leaving Threepio and Luke to search for him the next morning.

Later, when he spots the bounty hunter speeder bikes approaching, we see that Artoo's vision mimics the view of a macrobinocular.

Still, Kenny Baker is required to handle the intricate performance of Artoo, and to imbue a sense of personality into the machine.

A diagnostic showed that several of Artoo's deep memory banks had sequestered as private, and were causing blocks of information to be lost.

Once Artoo returned to the Rebel base with the newly liberated Princess Leia, Alliance technicians downloaded the Death Star schematics.

Artoo was witness to Luke's growing skill and power, as the young Tatooine farm boy continued on his path to Jedi Knighthood.

When Luke's friends fell into an Imperial trap on Bespin's Cloud City, Artoo accompanied the young Jedi to the floating metropolis.

Artoo flew with Luke to the mysterious planet of Dagobah, where Luke would receive training from the enigmatic Jedi Master, Yoda.

For his courage, Artoo was personally thanked and recognized by Queen Amidala.

Artoo served as a waiter, distributing drinks aboard Jabba's sail barge.

During the evacuation from Hoth, Threepio and Artoo were separated.

Artoo was refurbished in time for the celebration of the Rebel victory.

Artoo later returned to Naboo with the Queen.

Artoo, meanwhile, stayed at Luke Skywalker's side, helping him run his Jedi academy on Yavin 4.
