Question:
What happens to R2-D2 rockets on his legs?
In Episode 2 and 3 he has rockets on his legs so he can fly a short way to get out of jams yet with Luke on Degoabh he can not get off his X-wing and falls in the water.
Answers:
He slipped off or the wing on the fighter because of the swampmoisture on the wing and then whe he landed in the swamp the liquid and plant life got insid his casing so that all had to be taken out. The fact is that most R2 units cannot fly but Padme gave R2 to Anakin as a wedding present because he was an astrotech droid and more fitting of a pilot than an ambassador. 3PO was a protocol droid more fitting of a senator than a fighter pilot so they exchanged droids and Pame had both droids fixed up special. It is eighteen year between when she fixed them up and Degobah.
