Every Droid (and Action Figure) in Star Wars: A New Hope 

You’re welcome! It was a lot of fun to make!

@@noskillcustoms it was interesting to watch

I didn't realize there were that many in the movie!

Thanks! I have already done all the droids in Empire, Jedi and Episode 1 and I’m working on Attack of the Clones so stay tuned! …and, yes….Mando is on the list especially the most recent season!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you like the channel! My kids appreciate your kind words as well!

I had seen the black gonk droid in this clip before ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mpuJHE6z24k.html but I thought it was entirely cut from the movie. When I was making this video I spotted it in the scanning crew scene and shouted so loud I just about woke up my kids down the hall. I couldn’t believe it had just been there all this time and I never saw it, and then to see it again during the battle scene was pretty surprising, too!

Droids are a lot like Pokémon in that respect!

Saw R3T6 behind Darth Vader, and wanted to know more. Still think it's pretty amazing that R2D2 and C3PO could survive the Tantave IV, the Death Star, Hoth and so on, when other droids did not. Of course that's because they're near the main characters! Imagine if C3PO "died" on Hoth and was replaced by another actor playing the white protocol droid! Maybe if Anthony Daniels had died? However, it's ridiculous to have them in the prequels, to not only survive those events but hang around for 20 years until _A New Hope!_

I forgot, the Red droid in the X-Wing you see is in the Red Leader X-Wing hero model. They made an R4 dome for Red 4 pyro model, but the R5 droids in Red Leader, Red 6, and Red 12 are just R2 heads painted the color of their full scale R5 head. Red 2 hero model's R2 head is much more subtly trimmed in red (and was switched as they are removable, or repainted in it's current state in the LucasFilm archives). Red 12 pyro model had a yellow/orange with red panel R2 head representing the R5-A2 full scale dome. Except for a few quick shots, all the X-Wings seen on screen are the hero models for Red Leader, Red 2, Red 3, and Red 5.

Awesome! Thank you! I will have to make a follow-up just about droids of the rebellion!

@@noskillcustoms Nice. I haven't talked to GreenAlfonzo in a few years and it looks like he last updated the Rebel astromech page in 2016. He put a low res image of a diagram I did to explain the Yavin squadrons' droids at the bottom of the page.

TBH I made it for the Tatooine droids🤗, but the YAVIN droids are great, too. I especially like the R5 unit during the briefing room scene.

I love that idea! It’d be like 3 hours long, though. I’m definitely thinking about how I could do it...maybe group them by species? We’ll see...I still have quite a few original trilogy videos I want to do before I delve into the prequels.

Thank you! Tell your friends!

Before you go chopping anymore parts to your droid factory set…I want you to know lots of places make 3D printed shorter 3rd legs to fit the standard figures

@@noskillcustoms Back in like 1980, lol, we didn't have 3d printers 😉

Glad I could help! Just finished “Every droid in Jedi” vid....Every droid in Phantom Menace is coming soon. Looking forward to your Death Star Droid video!

I’m working on a bunch of videos simultaneously- but when I get caught up, that could be a great video!

Awesome info thank you! I just wanted to comment on each point you made... 1) Mos Eisley/landspeeder droid- This is one where I disagree with you, actually. I really think that as you watch the one behind the landspeeder turn to the right, his markings actually match the droid seen in sandcrawler/outside the cantina. The image I have in the bottom right shows the front and side to confirm this. 2) I swear that I had footage of the “two” gonk droids in question in the same shot, but I can’t find it so you’re probably right the 1st and 4th are most likely the same droid. 3) Thank you so much for pointing that out! You don’t know how bad I wanted a full shot of that droid! Perfect! I’m going to feature it in a future video and I’ll give you a shout out. In the meantime, if anyone else is reading this, the scene with the old woman is featured in the 1st blu Ray box edition of episodes 1-6 on the 4-6 archives disc. 4) If you’re talking the cut Death Star cut scene where the droid “jumps” in the air a little then runs off screen, I’m pretty sure it’s the same guy as in the docking bay- they have the same Mickey Mouse ears on top. 5) That’s just bad video editing on my part I wasn’t trying to say that that was R5-D4/8 I was just moving on to the next scene, but I wasn’t very clear. However, do you know where I might find a full body shot of that R5 unit? 6) Red Leader’s R5- oddly enough, I just found that out yesterday. Pretty weird, definitely going to mention that in a future video 7) Silver headed R2- Just learned about this, too. The one with the green panels, right? Very cool, another easy custom, too. Overall, I really appreciate the feedback, thank you! I should run my “All the droids in “Jedi” “video past you before I upload it! :)

1)yes sorry the second Gonk in Mos eisley is only seen in BTS pics of the scene where Luke sells his speeder and it's just the Lars Gonk but missing the tube on the back. (you do get to see the details missing from the figure) The other one really hard to see on the sandcrawler is left of the DS droid when the Jawas open the door,(check the link below) might be the same as the 2nd DS one 4)No there are two other cut scenes (and I always for get where they are on youtube) but it's the extended scene of Han, Luke and Leia sneaking around the DS and the same droid is seen again in the scene of Vader and an Imperial talking and walking down the hall (it also has the mouse droid "train" IIRC). Here's where I first posted about them on the rebelscum forums has the youtube links too (go through the whole thread for other pics and info) forum.rebelscum.com/threads/power-droid-lars-homestead.1143660/page-2 5) unfortunately no 7) yes

I’ve started gathering my Phantom Menace droid figures, I just have a couple other videos to do finish up first.

…and never buy an R2-D2 if its head doesn’t make clicking sounds when you turn it!

I can see that argument, but most consider the Kenner Power droid to be based on the Lars Homestead droid at 7:31 in the video. If you look the white and black horizontal stripes are the same on the figure as they are in the movie.

@@noskillcustoms I see what you mean with the stripes. It looks like a mix of the two.

So sorry! I have to stop hand writing the notes that I read from! He is an L i N Droid (LIN). LJN is a toy company from the 80’s. Sorry for the mixup!

@@noskillcustoms Its alright. I found it

Thank you for confirming this for me. FYI- I also missed one droid- there is a droid in Docking Bay 94 with red lights while Han is working on the ship.

@@noskillcustoms The droid in docking bay 94 might be some sort of modified groundmech from the series Andor but that’s just me guessing

Good catch, I left out special edition additions, but since there’s really just the two of them I probably should’ve just included them. Maybe it should read “Every non-CGI droid” 😀

@@noskillcustoms yeah I said that said cause I prefer the special Editions But I hate Jedi Rocks & Darth Vader No

Hard to break 35 years of reading the word wrong in my own head, but you’re right, thank you!

@@noskillcustoms I grew up with _Star Wars The Original Radio Drama._

First I used to call it Tentative 4​@@noskillcustoms

You got me, thank you! I also missed a droid in docking bay 94 that I didn’t realize was a droid.

I have a whole bunch of dioramas (set-ups) that I make using Star Wars figures. Most of the times when C-3PO is needed for a display I use the Ewok throne C-3PO.
