It depends, really, for the second one. But I usually see Artoo in the books, if it's dialogue.

This is how I have it at the moment:

“Hey, I’m not arguing.” Sheppard shrugged easily. “Lightsabers are awesome. Plus Luke had Artoo.” His smile curled a little at the edges, and the tone of his voice was positively indecent. “I’d have done anything for an R2 unit.”


That works, right?

Ooh -- yes. Distinction between the character and the droid line is also important. *grin*

Word. Artoo-Detoo, or Artoo, is an individual. An R2 unit is a machine.

It should be written R2D2. And not abbreviated.

[florahart]

Yes, R2D2, no space no dash.

Luke abbreviates it Artoo in speech, like as a name, just as he does Threepio, so I reckon that's okay.

Either the digital or written-out version is fine but, in the long version? MUST have the hyphen.
