Basically the same casting call they announced in the UK last week.
live from the EPVII work shop !!
because he never used booster jets in the OT .. why in the hell would he suddenly fly in the PT ??
one of the most dumbest things GL dished out !
Maybe because they were taken out or broke between the PT and the OT?
I hope R2 is more weathered for Episode VII.

you know what else we never saw in the OT? We never saw Obi-wan do anything other than Mind tricks with the force. HOW DARE HE USE OTHER POWERS!
WE never saw anakin use the force, Only Vader. HOW DARE HE!
R2 is an Astromech droid. lets look at that word. Astro Mech. The Prefix Astro means " From, or having to do with Space. Mech COULD me mechanical, or machine, but givin that we See Aretoo REpairing things all throught BOTH trilogies, I THINK It is a truncated "Mechanic"
So, by calling him an Astromech Droid, We are calling him a "Space Mechanic" Droid. But that sounds a little odd. Astro can also mean "having to do with space, and not nessacarly space itself. So what do we know about space that is pertiant?
Zero Gravity. So calling him an Astromech could also mean "Zero Gravity Mechanic Droid"
And it would make logical sense for a Droid designed to work in Zero gravity ( and Zero Atmosphere, as evidenced by him attempting repairs on luke's xwing during the battle of yavin) Him having some means of moving around outside a spaceship ( magnetic feet) and Zero gravity enviornment of space ( Rocket boosters) Makes Logical sense.
Why didn't he use them in the Ot?
Becuase filmaking Technology was limited, and he never really needed to.
In-canon, they quite possibly Broke over the years. who knows.
Depending on where he is, and what he has been doing/ who he belongs too, I might like to see more weathering on Artoo. But I would think Luke would take care of him.
