R2-BHD is a Star Wars minifigure released in 2018. He was released as part of the UCS 75181 Y-wing Starfighter set, and is currently exclusive to that set..

Description[]

R2-BHD is dark grey with silver markings that indicate his various appliances. He has the same mold as other astromech droids, and has largely the same printing. His top is the same as other astromechs, but the printing on the bottom half of his body is different from other astromechs in the specific printing on the bottom rectangles and squares.

Background[]

R2-BHD, or Tooby, was an R2 series astromech droid that served the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the reign of the Galactic Empire. By the year 0 BBY, the droid had served the Alliance for years and was assigned to the Alliance Fleet's Gold Squadron, and rotated through the squadron's pilots, mostly commonly being assigned to Gold Leader Jon "Dutch" Vander and his Y-wing starfighter Gold One. R2-BHD also was responsible for performing diagnostics to keep the squadron's Y-wing starfighters ready for battle.

R2-BHD was present in a hangar in the Great Temple on Yavin 4 when the Alliance Intelligence officer Cassian Andor led the newly recruited Jyn Erso through it enroute to a UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft outside the temple that the pair would fly to the planet Jedha. Shortly afterwards, Gold Squadron took part in a battle against the Empire above the planet Scarif. Jon Vander survived the battle, but later flew against the Empire at the Battle of Yavin, where he died. R2-BHD presumably continued to serve the Rebellion.

Notes[]

  • R2-BHD is a minifigure created exclusively for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and has not appeared anywhere else. However, the design of his Y-wing and the box art very clearly indicates that this set is based on Jon "Dutch" Vander's Y-wing from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
  • R2-BHD is shown as being a very dark grey in his LEGO form, but in the movie, he is a very light grey-gold color.
