Want to own an astromech that has been a part of some memorable Star Wars moments? Profiles In History give you the chance to bid on that droid, so get shaking your piggy bank and put in a bid.

Straight from the Disney Parks, Profiles in History is getting ready to auction off one of the most accurate R2-D2s ever created!

Created using precise measurements, and an abundance of photographs, this remote control R2-D2 was designed to be an exact replica of the robot used in the original Star Wars trilogy.

In fact, its creators used actual screen used R2-D2s from the original Star Wars trilogy as reference during its creation.
