Show me the droids!
What kind of droid did you build at Mubo's? What's it named? What's its story?
Kicking it off:
This is R6-O98 (also known as the Noisy Child), who I built last January. I knew going in that I wanted to build an R series because they're classic, because they drive more easily, and because they offer more opportunities for customization. Though I'd looked at pictures beforehand, I didn't make a plan for what he'd look like, wanting to let the Force guide me and put him together however felt right. I did decide the second half of his designation before my trip, though: O98 refers to my first visit to WDW in October 1998. I did my research ahead of time to be sure I could tell the different dome types apart so I could identify which R-series I'd built. He's got the orange resistance personality chip, which I like to say is a case of Mubo selling me used goods and causing me to end up with a droid that dragged me into the fight.
On my next trip in September (fingers crossed I don't have to cancel) I'm thinking about buying a pack each of white and black panels to mix and match on his front. I'm, uh, also considering building an R5 sibling for him, but I'm trying to talk myself out of it since I'm already planning to build a second droid to celebrate running the WDW Marathon in January (fingers crossed on that one, too). But I'm planning to build an R2 in January, so it's different, right?
