Those members of audience who have been following these missives for any length of time may be aware that I am puzzled by the popularity of the astromech R2–D2.  While his technical abilities and programming do not seem lacking, he seems to have some functional issues in the personality department, causing him to respond less than agreeably to others on occasion, including his masters.

For those who would like a quieter, if less functional and durable, version of this astromech, I have found another papercraft project.  Part of the Toy-A-Day project, this droid is available for your folding and cutting pleasure.
