Minifig Facts
On Jabba the Hutt's sail barge, R2-D2 played a crucial role in the rescue plan to free Han Solo from Jabba's clutches in "Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi." Disguised as a serving droid as part of Luke Skywalker's elaborate plan, R2-D2 was stationed on the deck of the sail barge, where he served drinks to Jabba's guests during the journey to the Great Pit of Carkoon, the site intended for the execution of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca. At a pivotal moment during the confrontation at the Sarlacc pit, R2-D2 launched Luke Skywalker's lightsaber from a concealed compartment within his chassis directly to Luke.
