    Comments: Pull droid halves apart to reveal launcher. Load the projectile into launcher, then press button to fire.

    Points of Interest:
  • This figure of R5-D4 was originally planned to be an "Attack R2-D2" figure, but was changed to this droid instead.
  • R5-D4's bad motivator is the result of conflicting stories. Some tales claim R2-D2 sabotaged the droid, others claim that R5-D4 intentionally blew his own motivator, and another tale claims that R5-D4 is actualy a Jedi named "Skippy."

    Poll
    George Lucas has announced he's done making blockbuster feature films after Indiana Jones 5. He states that one of the factors that weighted heavy on the decision was the negative comments made by fans. The Probe Droid is curious what you think about that.
    We didn't mean it! Please make more movies!
    Boo. I don't like that at all. More movies please.
    We got six movies that tell the full tale. I'm happy.
    Good for you George! You've earned it.
    Thank goodness!
    I don't see the irony here.
