I saw that in person at the makers faire in San Mateo last weekend. he did a great job

It has it all... except the rockets to fly across stupid robotic factories, but that's ok, as the one in that movie was really not the R2-D2 we all know, but an impostor.

Better? No no no... not til it has a midget inside.

I hope there's real and affordable A.I. in my lifetime. having an actual R2 unit, even when I'm in a nursing home ***** myself uncontrollably, would be so awesome I would cry.

As long as it still tells racist and dirty jokes that only another robot can understand, bring it on.

Hey I want one of these. Does it serve pizza too?

It's bound to be better that a midget in a trashcan (the real thing)

Makes me wonder how long until these'll be mass produced and in everyone's homes...

I never understood why they made R2 only able to speak with beeps and whistles. I mean, if you can make a droid like C-3P0 who can talk for days, why would you then make an astromech that has a speech impediment?

If little R2 was a wifi portal and housed a good-sized server I wouldn't mind him following me around everywhere.

Blasphemy!

not satisfied until I hear the signature R2 scream... "WEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW"

Now he just needs to dress up as an effeminate gold companion.

Can it interface with any computer system it comes across and pull any data or control any systems at a mere request? Otherwise the "real" one is still tops.

Just a near-sighted scrap pile!

Thanks for that great description.

The 'Real Thing' isn't real, fool.

Dugg for kids dancing with R2.

Does it come with a midget inside? If not, don't waste your money.

Until the day many hundreds of years in the future that they actually start building real astromech droids every generation will still have many r2d2s. I predict the first mass produced popular droid in 2872 will be an r2 unit. George Lucas has shaped out future.
