The result of the debate was support new image (option 2). OOM 224 (he/him) 19:50, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

The last CT for changing was poorly presented, and honestly, the alternate options present were not even appropriate for the infobox. This is a new vote promoting an update from a TFA image to a TROS image. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 19:07, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Option 1

  1. I feel like option two is just too dirty. option one does have wear, and r2 being clean but with bits of wear is truer to his character. and i'm sure there are countless other three leg images to be used for the franchise's first mascot Editoronthewiki (talk) 01:10, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
  2. For me, the fact that in the second image the head-dome's colors seem... off outweighs the visibility of the third leg. (Since when are legs even a factor in the choice of infobox images? :P If anything, I'd even argue that with the third leg retracted, the "standing" pose is less "dynamic" and therefore more appropriate for infobox.)

  3. Looks cuter. OOM 224 (he/him) 12:42, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Option 2

  1. There is nothing wrong with the current image. But I prefer an image with Artoo's third leg visible. This is how we see him more often that we see him standing on two legs. Add to that, while his appearance hasn't changed, this is technically a more recent representation of him in the timeline. All around, I just prefer this image. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 19:07, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
  2. As a more recent image and one showing his third leg, I feel that this new image would be better. Kyle03 (talk) 20:33, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
  3. The current image makes him look too clean while the dirtier, rougher look of the new option is a more realistic one that I argue better fits his personality Fan26 (Talk) 21:03, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

  7. Mainly because it has the third leg. Braha'tok enthusiast Hello there 01:10, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

  9. Per above, though not a fan of the dirtier look. Bonzane10 Sabine Starbird (holonet) 03:45, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

  11. More dynamic and a bit gritter akin to the actual films. We don't see Artoo as clean as option 1 in later stuff so it's the best indicator of his age we have, in a weird way.- Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 21:37, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
