R2Q5

This pin features R2-Q5, the sleek Imperial astromech droid, set against a vibrant red background and encased in a circular frame reminiscent of the Death Star's iconic architectural aesthetic. Released as part of the Walt Disney World Hidden Disney 2020 collection, this piece is a standout in the 'Star Wars: Droids' Hidden Mickey set. R2-Q5 first appeared in 'Star Wars: Return of the Jedi' (1983), serving the Galactic Empire aboard the second Death Star. As an Open Edition pin, it was primarily distributed through Cast Member pin trading boards at Walt Disney World, making it a classic 'trader' that fans love to hunt for during park visits. The design is clean and striking, focusing on the droid's distinct black and bronze color scheme which contrasts sharply with the bold red backing. Because it is part of the Hidden Disney series, it carries a small Hidden Mickey icon on the pin face, confirming its status as a sought-after park exclusive. Droid collectors often value these pieces for their unique character representation, as R2-Q5 is a more obscure Imperial counterpart to the beloved R2-D2. This pin remains a popular choice for Star Wars fans looking to add a touch of the dark side to their collection.
