Subject: R2-D2 original builder Tony Dyson dies
Written By: Philip Eno on 03/04/16 at 8:52 am
Professor Tony Dyson, who built the original Star Wars R2-D2 droid, has died at his home on the island of Gozo.
The 68-year-old Briton was found by police after a neighbour called them concerned his door was open.
He is thought to have died of natural causes. A post-mortem is being carried out to determine cause of death.
Dyson was commissioned to make eight R2-D2 robots for the film series. He said working on it was "one of the most exciting periods of my life".

We may not get the posts here,but it took a lot of knowledge of technology to build an android like R2-D2. It's a shame we are losing another smart person.
