Great picture! I love it!

However, I don't know if it would be correct to say that astromech's communicate with binary. They can certainly understand binary, but Wookiepedia says: "Binary was also used as a programming language for devices that did not have the artificial intelligence of droids, such as binary loadlifters and moisture vaporators."

Droids use a language of beeps, boops, and whistles known as droidspeak. BB-8 spoke in 27th generation droidspeak, a compressed variant of standard droidspeak.

If you use Poser or DAZ Studio, we have all the Astromech models available for free: R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, Chopper, and BB-8. And of course, they're fully rigged and scaled to the correct size within Poser.

(The R2 to R9 units are on pages 2 and 3.)

Poser is something I've always wanted to try but never had time to. Similarly with DAZ. Thanks for that though J, I may well have a bash

R3s are practically indistinguishable from R2s.

They need to canonize the R6 to R9 astromech droids

There were some R6 heads made for The Force Awakens, as well as some new R0 types.
Couple of R6 heads: www.cinemablend.com/new/Star-W…
