when I came on board:

Frankly, we never saw him go down an entire staircase in the OT, so he very well may have flown down them. He surely couldn't have gotten down them so fast as he starts down the stairs in every scene.

Also, he really didn't have occasion to do so. There were always walkways or ground where he wanted to go.

Yes, I imagine it takes a lot of his power to fly for long periods of time like that.

R2 probably gets badly damaged in Episode 3 and loses the ability to fly.

Yes he could, but they had to hurry. So not a real reason to fly there

-snip- : > It would have helped on Jabbas sand barge in ROTJ. ) : > : : doubt it. Did you see how long it takes him to take off? It was quicker to : send the lightsabre by air the way he did.

i think he's referring to r2 pushing 3p0 off the barge and then falling into the sand himself..

According to www.holonetnews.com (i.e. the horse's mouth) the warranties on Astromech boosters run out about 10 years before E4... Artoo still has them, it's just dangerous to use them.

There're also a few stories on the super-intelligent droid missiles Jango Fett uses to try to kill Obi-Wan, why no one questions Palpatine's actions, and the growing backlash against Jedi... An intresting AND OFFICIAL site to read..

If were thinking of the same one... it's when they go into the hanger, he stops at the the stairs, he 'higgs' for a second while the camera pans... then he's just there behind the group...

Fictional Reason - He realises he can't 'walk' down them, so he uses his jet packs.

Real Reason - There was no way the prop was going to make it, so they panned the camera part of the way, stopped the film, carried the prop down the stairs put him into position, then carried on filming, in the editing process the join was erased.

hmmm the real reason is so much more interesting somehow.

foul stench when I came on board:

As they are recessed in the sides of his legs, they wouldn't interfere with him getting into an X-wing as these ships as well as the Naboo starfighter are designed specifically to accomodate astromechs of several versions.
