We
must admit that it drives us utterly insane when we cannot locate a character
in a Star Wars film that somewhere in urban legend is said to definitely be
there, whether blatant
or obscure. But one droid character that has been a big burden on our search
to find him is the Build A Droid R5-C7 from the Return Of The Jedi wave
released in 2009's Legacy Collection. But thanks to much
googling on the web, we found a great site which gives some great reference
shots of this droid as well as many other astromech droids in the various Star
Wars films. We suggest clicking
through for a very cool summary (and proof
that R5-C7 is in Episode II)!
R5-C7 can actually
be seen as a blip in the streets of Coruscant in the scene in Attack Of The
Clones when Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi go running after Zam Wesell. R5-C7 has
been frequently misidentified on Mos Espa as a droid that passes by in a scene
very close to when Anakin is talking to Watto trying to locate his mother. Oh, and yes, that is the 2002 POTJ Sneak Preview R3-T7 right next to him that we also thought didn't make the final cut of the film too!
