Remember playing Operation? It’s one of those games we played as kids. It’s one of those games we mixed alcohol with as adults and found it was twice as fun. It seems Hasbro might be trying to up the game even further. ToyWiz will be doing brisk trade this week after the interwebs noticed they […]
That scene in Star Wars with Nyan cat in it
Nyan cat was in Star Wars, episode IV, but not many people remember it. It’s strange because it’s an important scene and Nyan cat is easy to spot. It’s the scene in which Obi Wan is trying to explain The Force to Luke. R2-D2 is nearby and seems to be watching in. After Nyan cat’s […]
Princess Leia, R2-D2 and C-3PO appear in Raiders of the Lost Ark
Have you heard the urban myth that C-3PO, Princess Leia and R2-D2 appear in Raiders of the Lost Ark? It’s not a myth. They do feature. In fact, there’s a lot connecting the two films beyond the fact that the scene in which Rene Belloq and the Nazis square off against Indiana in the canyon […]
R2D2 controlled car
I’m not sure any of us will ever experience what it would be like to fly a fighter spaceship with R2D2 as co-pilot in the back. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. For example, we could boost our cars and build co-pilot control pods for droids in the back. Here’s an example of what I […]
Steampunk R2-D2
Our brave hero, the droid known as R2-D2, appears before us in commanding steampunk style. Could he get any cuter? This little guy needs to be kept safe and sound in my flat. Certainly. Via Botropolis.

It’s not a R2D2 swimsuit, of course, that would by governed by somme harsh merchandising rules from Lucas. The Artoo […]
Star Wars ad for Currys and PC World: R2-D2 and original C-3PO
If, like this geek, you watch British TV then you may have seen the new Currys and PC World ad that features the always cute R2-D2 and C-3PO. If C-3PO sounds an awful lot like the “original” C-3PO then that’s because it is. It’s Anthony Daniels doing the voice. The ad features a website called […]
R2-D2 and Darth Vadar swimsuit
The blogs have certainly picked up on this rather cute R2-D2 (aka: ‘artoo’) singlepiece swimming costume. By the way, is that the right term “singlepiece”? I think One Piece… but that’s probably just my anime brain talking. You can certainly see the social media craze around the costume as worked. Black Milk, the people who […]
