R2-D2 pilots an X-wing in this spectacular drone-shot battle scene
R2-D2 is the best character in the Star Wars universe. Without him the entire story would crumble (think about it). So it’s nice to see him get his own epic battle scene in this short by Corridor Digital (a special effects outfit out of L.A.) and Rotor Riot (a YouTube show about drones). With drones, toys, practical and special effects, and a clear deep love of Star Wars, they created an astonishingly great battle scene in which R2-D2 pilots an X-wing to take on three TIE Fighters.
That’s one hell of a pilot.
