The R1 on the left is fairly well known from the ANH scene where R2 and 3PO are sold by the Jawas, and it's also pretty established that the design was based on a book cover painted by Chris Foss. Much less well knows is that R1's brother on the right, who resides at Mos Eisley and is seen for all of a handful of frames in the background as our heroes arrive at that well known hive of scum and villainy.
These models are from all new photomatches of behind the scenes materials. I'm setting these up for a collaboration with the incomparable Jason Eaton.
Great detective work on the gray R1!
