Disney’s D23 event is quickly approaching and we can’t wait for more Star Wars news. We are expecting to see a new trailer for The Mandalorian, a Star Wars live-action series set to premiere Nov. 12 exclusively on the Disney+ streaming service. If we are lucky, Disney will drop a new trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Hopefully it will feature loads of new content, but still leave a little mystery for wacky fan theories.

All this excitement for Star Wars has us thinking about some of our favorite scenes featuring R2D2. This delightful astromech droid has saved our heroes across the far reaches of the galaxy. For the sake of this list we decided not to include any events that occurred in novels, comics, or animated series. Otherwise, the list might never end.
