Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Oh, Kenny...THANK you for all the happiness and enjoyment you brought to this world! A man's height has nothing to do with the impact he can have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadwbg Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) He will be missed. RIP. I recall some scenes from the Prequels where it was obvious R2 was CGI. You can tell the difference with Kenny inside acting the role. As a 5-year old kid in 1977, I remember being enchanted with R2 and 3PO because they were brought to life on the screen by actors. I never questioned they weren't real. They were as full of life as Luke or Han Solo. Edited August 13, 2016 by toadwbg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
