May 4 is the day of Star war, actually I have not seen the whole saga, I remember that when I was only about 10 years old, I had a schoolmate from a very humble family, one day we had to perform a group work of At school, when we arrived at Freddy's house, he invited us to his room. My greatest surprise was that he had a large collection of original Star war toys. Of course, toys were in fashion at that time, many of them were very well cared for.
These toys today would be very valuable for a collector, as I remember they were original.

The last thing I heard about my friend Freddy is that he is an automotive engineer.
When I found out that May 4th was Star Wars Day, I tried to contact him to jokingly ask him if he still has that collection.
R2D2 was the character that most liked and attracted children of my time.
I remember that among friends we tried to imitate sounds similar to those emitted by R2D2.
At the time of the first film (Star Wars: Episode IV) talking about robots was something extremely innovative or futuristic, now talking about robotics is something normal and much more so in industrialized countries.
In fact in the first star wars movie R2D2 was just a suit piloted by a short person actor Kenny Bake of British origin who was 1.12cm tall. Actually I don't know if in the last movies where R2D2 appears he is already a true automaton.
This celebration attracts many people who are fans of everything that can surround the star war saga, I do not consider myself a fan of star war but I made this watercolor remembering that moment of my childhood and I wanted to share it with lovers of star war and in special with R2D2
