Fun Clone Wars Trivia

When Ahsoka is addressing the clones in the hanger bay a pink droid is
standing next to R2-D2 named R2-KT. It was included as a way to honor
the work of the 501st Legion (an international group of Star Wars
costumers who perform countless hours of volunteer work for many
charities). The droid was created in the memory of Katie Johnson
(daughter of the 501st Legion's founder Albin Johnson) who died of
cancer at the young age of 7. Some of the costumer's built a pink R2
(dubbed R2-KT) for Katie to provide her comfort in the last days of
her life. This was to reflect the scene in Star Wars: Episode II -
Attack of the Clones (2002) when R2-D2 watches over Padme while she
slept at night.
