History
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
R2-D2 is introduced as one of the maintenance droids for Queen Amidala's yacht. During the queen's escape from the Trade Federation blockade around Naboo, R2-D2 distinguished himself by performing an emergency repair to the yacht's shields, giving the crew the time they needed to fly past the Trade Federation's battleships. R2-D2 remained near the queen during the ship's brief stay on Tatooine and returned with her to Naboo. There, he boarded a Naboo starfighter that ended up being flown by Anakin Skywalker into a battle to destroy the Trade Federation's droid control ship, providing maintenance and control assistance during the battle.
