R2-D2: Beneath the Dome is a 2001 mockumentary that utilizes fake interviews, fake archive photos, film clips, and behind-the-scenes footage to tell the "life story" of the astromech droid R2-D2. The film was made by the cast and crew of Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones based on an idea by Don Bies (ILM Modelmaker and head of the R2 production unit) and friends.
