About R2-D2: Beneath the Dome
Mockumentary telling the never before told life story of the fictional robot R2-D2 from the Star Wars film series. The movie was made as a fun project by the cast and crew of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Using interviews, fake archive photos, film clips, and behind the scenes footage the "true" story was told of Artoo's life.
Directed by Don Bies, Spencer Susser, R2-D2: Beneath the Dome leans on a strong ensemble — Bob Hesse, Robbie Edwards, Elizabeth Tulloch — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2001.
