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

- I’ve scoured the background of every scene in the original Star Wars (now known as Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope) to find every droid featured in the movie. If you’re a toy collector like me you can find out the best version of each of these droids if they’ve been made into action figures by Disney or Hasbro.

"I bet they thought no one was going to pause the movie..." "...but I did." -Love it. Brilliant videos.
This honestly is a masterpiece of a video. Thank you for all the effort you put into it
You’re welcome! It was a lot of fun to make!
@@noskillcustoms it was interesting to watch
Great video! I’ve been looking for a detailed droid video like this. Thanks!
I didn't realize there were that many in the movie!
That second Gonk droid looks sick
I was around when kenner figures first came out. My Death Star Droid- (Ra7?) was shinier than shiny, so was C-3PO. They didn't have a clue about R2's head, though his torso sticker was printed perfectly as far as I remember. R5 D4's torso was really good, including red doors front and back, no blue included, where it was supposed to go.... His legs, if I remember right we're not blue, I'm almost certain they were just plain white up and down and his three main eyes were red for some reason but the top of his head looked good the shape of his head was all right it was my favorite over R2-D2 I always had R5- which for some reason in the back of my head I always called him our for D4 which is wrong I guess- going out and doing missions I thought R2 and 3PO we're supposed to be together almost all the time. I couldn't ever successfully pair up my silver Droid with my red Astromech as a pair, they didn't seem to work. I don't know why, I probably wasn't mature enough to come up with personalities for each😂 I was 5 in 1977
Also if you're old enough to have gotten those original Kenner toys if you got the Droid Factory kit it happened to have a center leg for an Astromech droid it was too long to fit into either of the figures you can buy like are two or R5 but if you cut the top of it off it fit perfectly so you could have a three-legged Droid😊
This is just lovely, and set me on an adventure through all your videos. Thank you so very much for taking the time to do this, and share your amazing knowledge with us! Also, your kid’s puppet shows are darling too :) I am looking forward to any future videos!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like the channel! My kids appreciate your kind words as well!
Great video this, really helpful. Never knew about the black power droid on the Death Star. Awesome!
I had seen the black gonk droid in this clip before ua-cam.com/video/mpuJHE6z24k/v-deo.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!
Fantastic!
I am subscribing keep up the good work
Great vide
@15:30 “But I did…” LOL, I don’t know but it cracks me up the way you say this here, and like so many of us Fans (fantastics!) who do what no regular person would do! But then we wouldn’t have this excellent video documenting the droids of A New Hope - can’t wait to see Empire, Jedi and the rest, That’d be an awesome series dude but I can’t imagine the amount of work and tedium it would take…then again those terms sometimes are meaningless as what is a chore for some can also be great fun for us Fans (Fanatics! LOL!). And if you ever get to the Mandalorian I’d LOVE to know what all the droids are in the Mando series, and if they are props used in any of the movies, created just for the show, cgi, or even fan-built droids as I heard are sometimes used (true or not?)…now that would be awesome if you go past the movies for future vids. Again, awesome and amazing work Sir!!!
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!
Very thorough & comprehensive review. Nice acknowledgement of HitG Pro's custom droids. Hopefully Eric designs more droids that Hasbro won't touch.
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!_
Fantastic video. Respect to you. I'd love them to make a stovepipe and bantha droid figure. I'd buy those in a heartbeat
Fantastic guide, I might just have to collect all of these!
Droids are a lot like Pokémon in that respect!
I think it would be a cool idea if you did all the aliens at the podrace. Lots of interesting faces there haha
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.
This is a good youtube channel thanks
Thank you! Tell your friends!
Epic video and also who else watched this just for the yavin droids
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.
Treadwell is a personal favorite of mine.
@No Skill Customs the droid in the briefing you are asking about is Gold Leader's astromech. He is seen in the behind the scenes pic and he is R4-I9's body with his own unique black R2 dome with silver panels that can be seen in some behind the scenes pics for the rebel starfighter droids. The hero scale model Y-Wing frequently called "TIE Killer" for the TIE kill mark on it is commonly accepted as Gold Leader's and has a black R2 in it that can be seen in the film while approaching the Death Star in the non-special edition. He has no name, so I just call him R2-G1.
There is a second R2 near "R2-G1" that GreenAlfonzo identified on his astromech page: www.angelfire.com/droid/astromechs/
It is an R2 with green details on the body and R2-D2's legs, and green panels on an R2-D2 head. In discussions, GreenAlfonzo and I settled on identifying him as Gold 2's droid so I call him R2-G2. The hero scale model commonly called "gray" or "tiger sprocket" Y-Wing has a silver headed droid that is hard to see the panel colors on and can be seen in a log of Y-Wing shots in the film, and by process of elimination of all other R2s must be Gold 2's. (We also decided the plain R5 with black pinstripes is Gold 5's since the pyro model "triangles" lacked a droid, this is the same for pyro model for Gold 3 so with only R4-I9 with no ship I assign him to Gold 3.).
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.
The all black droid is r2-l5
(Edit) There used to be a fandom wiki page about this droid but I now can't find it
Ok ok first off your amazing second off make every droid in Star Wars
Also there are blueprints to 3d print the stovepipe droid.
o.m.g.
Nice! Top answer on Google when looking for answers! Will give you a shout when I get round to doing my death star droid video! 👌🏼😉 O.O.K
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!
The 1977 c3po is the only c3po anyone needs, the rest are imposters i say !!!!! 😂
…and never buy an R2-D2 if its head doesn’t make clicking sounds when you turn it!
Every droid the Phantom menace please
I’ve started gathering my Phantom Menace droid figures, I just have a couple other videos to do finish up first.
4:28 the original Kenner gonk is that one I think
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.
Pretty good but you messed up the Gonks. The second one you mention IS in Mos Eisley but the one behind the Landspeeder is a different one, the one from the Sandcrawler is only by the Cantina. The fourth one you mention on the sandcrawler is just the first one stuck in the background. The yellow one can be seen in a cut scene where an old lady yells at Luke when he's going to anchorhead for the cut Biggs scene (and also in the ESB when Chewie finds C-3PO in the junk room). There IS another one on the Sandcrawler but it's pretty difficult to see. There is a second DS Gonk but you can only see it in cut scenes. Also the R5 in the briefing room scene isn't R5-D4 it's just the white one with black trim. Red Leader's R5 in the briefing room has a white body instead of all red like on the figure and the cut DS scene. There is also another silver headed R2 in the briefing room. R5-D4(8) can be seen on Yavin in some BTS photos next to an X-wing. (also I think he is missing some of the blue trim when in front of the Sandcrawler when Luke is inspecting him). Probably more I'm forgetting too.
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
hey can you make the video of the stormtrooper figures?
I’m working on a bunch of videos simultaneously- but when I get caught up, that could be a great video!
Lj n droid? Was that his name? I cant find him on Google
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
Tan-ti-vee four.
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
Where is the Patrol & ASP Droid ?
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
When you say " most of my set ups"
What do you mean?
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.
