Why cant r2d2 fly

The real-world answer is that George Lucas didn't have CGI technology at his disposal in to convincingly make Artoo fly. Just navigating the little astromech droid up and down ramps was a feat of ingenuity. The technology available to Lucas for the prequels 20 years later allowed the droid to make practical use of his many attachments and take flight. A canon text offers a plausible but vague explanation for why Artoo doesn't use his rocket boosters in the original trilogy when he clearly had them in the prequels.

The Star Wars Book , released in October , states that "Jet-setter R2-D2 has rocket boosters built into his legs but they are damaged at some point after the Clone Wars. The period between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope was also a tumultuous time when the droid might not have been able to get the repair needed after being damaged in combat.
