I always imagined that if you could pop out the spherical part of R2, the other half would look like the death star. I hope they make that toy some day.

Presumably it has a design flaw round the back which permits unauthorised access to a potentially embarrassing ‘feature’.

It reminds me of this, which is also awesome -

I’m imagining it to R2D2 scale though and therefore not that scary. A bit like the original Megatron from Transformers. I always thought he would be a foot or so tall as he turned into a usable handgun. I figured that was why he was so angry all the time, because he was actually the same size as his action figure.

That’s no astromech droid … that’s a space station.

It looks like you could do your laundry with it.

and then they could load R2′s robot brain into it for the OS and it could be a LOVE star!

I know this is cliched but “slow-wanking-motion.”

But it finds planets instead of blasting them.
