Description[edit | edit source]

R5-D8 has two plain white astromech droid legs, which connect to a white body.

On top of the body piece sits a white R5-series head, which features printing all around, most noticeably a red printing at the top of the piece, following R5-D8's predominantly red colour scheme. The piece also has black and grey printing for depicting sensors and other modules that the droid is known to have in the Star Wars universe.
