R2-D2 Into Darkness
 |
Real talk folks: I have spent an inordinate amount of time analyzing the asteroid chase sequence in The Empire Strikes Back in hopes of seeing the potato that wiseass special effects technicians placed amdist all the space boulders. So it’s somewhat comforting to know that the folks over at /Film have spared me from wasting more hours of my life searching for R2-D2’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo in Star Trek Into Darkness. The article also mentions that Artoo can also be glimpsed in 2009’s Star Trek .
Well, shit.
If there aren’t any more postings on here this week, now you know what I’m up to. Sigh.
