R2-F2/Legends

R2-F2 was an R2-series astromech droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton that served in the Alliance to Restore the Republic, though it was suspected of being a double agent. The astromech droid was assigned to Biggs Darklighter, who flew as Red Three during the Battle of Yavin. Both Darklighter and R2-F2 were killed when their T-65B X-wing starfighter was shot down by Darth Vader.
==Behind the scenes==
R2-F2 first appeared, albeit unidentified, in the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. It was first identified in the Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game Core Set, which was first released at GenCon Indy on August 17, 2012.
The 1999 reference book Star Wars: The Action Figure Archive, written by Stephen J. Sansweet, conflated Biggs Darklighter's then-unidentified astromech droid with R2-Q2,Star Wars: The Action Figure Archive an identical Imperial astromech droid that appeared on the Tantive IV earlier in A New Hope. This error was repeated by the Star Wars: The Saga Collection toyline.
R2-F2's color scheme varies as depicted in Star Wars: Empire and Star Wars: Rebellion comic series.
