Gary Kurtz - "We had about nine different versions of Artoo-Detoo, and each one did specific things. Most of them were mechanical; some were radio-controlled, some were wire-controlled dragging an umbillical cord; and there were two versions that had to be operated by humans because what was required of them was too complicated for mechanical action."
The man inside Artoo was Kenny Baker, a discoverey of production designer John Barry. Baker is 3'8" tall. The tank-like Artoo was tailored to fit him. The actual costume was designed by mechanical-effects man John Stears.</
