he was able to include R2D2 as a figurine, he's always the one that saves the day, basically the whole story includes this "little stupid astro-droid". In the 1st original movies he's still claimed as the super-hero, he's the one that develops the plot in Jabba's planet. In the SW Ep1 Lucas puts him in front row, he's the super-hero. In the other two...not as much, specially in the 3rd, totally commercial, where all the droid voices got "funnier" for a reason, R2D2 faces several loose-wire problems...funny aren't they? :/ Everything lost the magic of the original movies, but well, the young audience doesn't care.
Blade Runner is superb, if you which to stop seeing the effects of the space-based sci-fi and start watching some plot, some story, just something in the future out of the marvelous spaceships and space fights and explosions and whatever, Blade Runner will satisfy you. It's criminal investigation in the future, Harrison Ford is perfect for the role, probably one of his best roles. The plot is deeper, concern artificial intelligence, as alot of actions, it's just old and lacks effects to appeal the audience, that's why it's so great.
