One of the coolest displays at Celebration IV had to be the
Droid Builders room. From R2-D2 Astromech droids to
protocol to mouse droids, if it appeared in a Star Wars
film someone has built it.
Not only do these droids look like they could have appeared on
film but they are also animated. Most have lights and
sounds and wheels so they can roll while some even add animated
domes with moving parts.
Cameras and holo projection units, with special screens for
display, have been incorporated into some of the models on
display. If you wander through long enough you can also
find Gonk droids, Sith probe droids and even a Jawa or two
scavenging for parts.
Two of the coolest droids, in my opinion, were the Mustafar lava
droid and the McQuarrie concept R2-D2.
