Wasn't Whistler a R2.5 droid?

According to The Bacta War, he was an R2-D2. Bu he could have changed at some point. Barraki 12:43, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

• R2-D2 was a specific R2-series astromech droid. Rexas 01:46, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
• Maybe you're thinking of Antilles' droid. During the X-wing books his droid was an R5 series one (R5-D2/G8). -Fnlayson 22:39, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, at least in the French edition, the Dramatis personae refers to him as an R2-D2. Barraki 22:03, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

• There's only one R2-D2Sonic-Toad 07:54, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Nickname Edit

Whistler may have been the first astromech droid featured in the Star Wars universe to have a nickname not based on its numerical identification. Most subsequently-featured astromech droids have nicknames of their own.
