from StarWars.com:

"What is R2-D2 made of? Audiences will find out, both literally and figuratively, in "Duel of the Droids," an all-new episode of the hit animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, premiering at 9 p.m. ET/PT Friday, November. 14, on Cartoon Network.

In the episode, Anakin, Ahsoka and replacement droid R3-S6 (aka "Goldie") embark on a dual rescue/sabotage mission when they discover R2-D2 is being held at General Grievous's secret enemy listening post.

Writer Kevin Campbell ("Disney's House of Mouse," "Jackie Chan Adventures") created a little extra work for the Lucasfilm Animation crew when he used the unusually vivid word "splayed" to describe how R2-D2's internal mechanisms would be removed and exhibited across an examining table. That gave the production team ample opportunity to delve into Artoos's inner workings, as well as to have a little fun at director Rob Coleman's expense."
