The R2-KT astromech droid is one of the most heartwarming characters in the Star Wars universe. R2-KT was created by Albin Johnson, founder of the 501st Legion, master droid builder Jerry Greene and the R2 Builders Club for Johnson’s daughter Katie who was dying from brain cancer (the “KT” in the droid’s name is a tribute to her). In the Star Wars universe, the character had a cameo in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film, and has been made an official part of the universe’s canon. In real life, R2-KT makes appearances at children's hospitals, Star Wars Celebration and charity events in the southeastern United States. For San Diego Comic-Con 2014, Gentle Giant has created this beautiful R2-KT Maquette as a tribute to Katy, and will be donating $10 from the sale of each Maquette to the San Diego Chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation! How can you not buy one!?!
