Parts Have Been Ordered

While it hasn't been decided what the main parts of R4 will be made of, some standard parts are already on order.

Shipping in soon are a set of aluminum skins, PSI housings and spacers, and a set of battery boxes. Should have these on hand soon and then it's time to determine the best color purple and the lighting color schemes.

Stay tuned!

The Decision

After attending Star Wars Celebration VI in Orlando last month it has been decided that R2-D2 needs a friend. R4-M6 is on her way!

In case you don't know anything about this droid, here's some background info.

R4-M6 was an R4-Series astromech droid owned by Jedi Master Mace Windu. It was destroyed during the Battle of Coruscant after Master Windu collided with a fleet of vulture droids and droid tri-fighters. R4-M6, like R4-P17 (and a few other Jedi owned astromechs), was modified with the dome of an R2-Series droid.
