Cool! Hope we see that R5 outside his socket and rolling around with Zorii at some point.And here are some additional looks (1) and (2) at the green R5 from the Y-Wing preview page of the new Haynes Owner's Manual for Starfighters, courtesy of SW.com. Possible light spoiler warning applies.
Only one episode in, and already more astromechs than all of The Last Jedi (I don't really count BB units as proper astromechs, lol). Would love to get a better look at that black and white R5 unit. I wish that red TPM R5 would get blown up or something. And not in the show, in real life, heh.Astrodroids in the 1st episode of The Mandalorian: https://bit.ly/2ph38yi![]()
I must say that it's not TPM's R5-X2 but TFA's and RO's R5-X3... just another (silly) wink to the audienceOnly one episode in, and already more astromechs than all of The Last Jedi (I don't really count BB units as proper astromechs, lol).

Yeah, I know it's not the exact droid from TPM (with its oddly pointy head), just referring to the color pattern. I may be mistaken, but I think the RO/TFA (and now Mandalorian) R5 is a fan-built droid which was meant to resemble R5-X2 from TPM. Regardless, much in the same way I never want to see another astromech toy from Japan done up in the Imperial R2-Q5 colors, I never wanna see R5-X2/X3 ever again!! Tell your friend Lee to ban that droid from all future Star Wars film sets.I must say that it's not TPM's R5-X2 but TFA's and RO's R5-X3... just another (silly) wink to the audience

300 bucks for just 4 droids... this is madness!!!And at $75 a piece it ain't cheap. I have to say that the vehicle is really cool, with its lighting and ability to stow the carriage, but I know I cannot justify buying it four times just for the droids.
