R2-D2 is a legendary robot within the Star Wars universe, created by the visionary George Lucas. The origins of this iconic name can be traced back to the production of Lucas's earlier film, American Graffiti. Sound editor Walter Murch is credited with coming up with the name for the droid. During a pivotal moment, Murch casually requested "Reel 2, Dialog Track 2," succinctly abbreviated as "R-2-D-2." Lucas, who was in the room and had momentarily dozed off while working on the Star Wars script, woke when he heard the request and declared it was a "great name" before going back to writing his script.
