Ha ha ha. Yes - R2-D2.
I know, it's original.
Anyway, finally managed to start on my R2.
This is a small scale prototype - planning on building a full scale version but thought I'd start small.
Not much to report at the moment, but as I progress I'll post more.
I'm using the Hasbro interactive R2 as a base.
And that's it so far.

I didn't use the rotation sensor... just used a motor controller to control the direction of the head motor left and right...

You can use an H-bridge or any other controller as well... Finding centre is crude but easy... I just swing the head farthest to one side then PMW the appropriate amount back in order to centre the head... Crude, but it works...
