8757. R2 Builders Interview original R2 operator, Craig Miller
Moderator: Tom Piedmont
In 1978 if you saw R2-D2 in a TV commercial, on Sesame Street, The Muppet Show or any other local appearances, Craig Miller was at the controls. As the first-appointed head of Lucasfilm's newly established Fan Relations Division, Craig and an assistant flew across the world to show off R2-D2 under all sorts of scenarios. Hear from the guy who did it as interviewed by members of the R2 Builders Club who nearly 50yrs later are themselves spread across the world doing the same thing -but for charity instead!
