Oh, look. Another nerd considering making money off of someone else's intellectual property.
Cue Disney's lawyers...
Gordon Tarpley on Facebook Oh...Fudge, that's cool.
A guy named Gordon Tarpley used his Star Wars replica parts to make the crossover gadget you never knew you needed until right now. The droid components will be returned to their original bodies in short order, but, says Gordon:
"Starting in January I'll be sculpting new, original parts from scratch and posting loads [of] progress photos of the entire build here.If there's enough interest, I may do a few extras."
Presumably, you can contact him through his Facebook page to express said interest.

Ha!
This guy will be rich. He'll make more than the "Nintendo controller coffee table" guy.

An anecdote from my life:
Last night me, my dad, mom and my sister were putting together a puzzle.
Mom: "my laptop keeps telling me my computer is only running at half speed and I need to download this thing"
Sister: "That's spyware or something"
Mom: "so I should click no?
Sister: "no you don't want to click it at all"
Me: "hit ctl+alt+del, bring up task man and close it that way"
Dad: "no, I don't want your Mom pressing control alt delete"
Me after sevel moments of laughter: "I'm going to tell the internet you said that"

@Gallen_Dugall task manager is apparently too advanced for mom. I think dad is scared of the delete key.

@Lithroe There was only three people and one electronics class in our entire school district that could work the computers. So our electronics class was usually being sent out to service computers more then we ever built a circuit.

@Someguy @East_Threadly I was sent to the principal's office and told I'd have to pay $6000 for a new computer because I reset it that way and it went to the "Admin" DOS screen. They had no idea what they were seeing and were terrified of it.

@East_Threadly Before the task manager ctrl+Alt+delete was the straight reset. If he is from those days he may believe it still does. I run into a lot of people who still think that.

I haven't decided which comment to use "these are the droids I'm looking for..." or "Shut up and take my money!!". The polls are now open.

@Canadian.Scott Going with "Take my money," nothing like a disturbing piece of robotic erotica to get into the holiday cheer.
