This week on Skytalkers, we're diving into one of the strangest and most delightful corners of Star Wars history: R2-D2: Beneath the Dome. Released in 2001 as an official Lucasfilm mockumentary, the three-part special chronicled the "life and career" of R2-D2 as if he were a real Hollywood actor, complete with career highs, personal struggles, celebrity feuds, and a disastrous bungee-jumping stunt. On this episode:

• The history of the project
• The incredible cast and crew featured
• Our favorite moments + some of the funniest bits
• What legacy this mockumentary leaves for Star Wars marketing and humor (also, the Skywalker Ranch pool).
• … and so much more.
