R2D2 is a maintenance droid, designed for computer repair and information retrieval. Like many of Lucas's characters, even though R2 only speaks in whirs and whistles, he has a very distinctive, quirky personality. R2D2 was the carrier of Leia's secret message to Ben Kenobi, which was found by Luke Skywalker, and started his journey offworld.
