10 Actors Who Have Played Multiple Star Wars Characters

10. Kenny Baker

Of the Star Wars duo that could genuinely be labelled as two of the most famous robots in history, one has grown for itself something of a reputation as being quite annoying, while no one could have a bad word to say about the other.

Rather than just an assistant of sorts to the likes of the Jedi and the Resistance, R2-D2 has many times been a hero in its own right. Played by Kenny Baker throughout both the original and prequel trilogies, the droid has over the years become incredibly popular.

R2-D2 wasn't a CGI creation, Baker at 3' 8" tall literally wore the droid essentially as a costume, and was utilised again in a similar way in Return of the Jedi. Not only did Baker play R2-D2 in Episode VI, he also brought to life Paploo, one of the many Ewoks who aided Han Solo and co. on the Forest Moon of Endor.
