Life-Size Remote Control R2-D2 Is Actually a Drinks Fridge in Disguise
 |
Hey Artoo, have you been working out? Because I couldn’t help but notice your six-pack.
Sure, it would be cool to have a Sail Barge tray atop our favorite astromech as in Return of the Jedi, but if Artoo could keep Luke’s lightsaber on ice inside of his body, why not twelve beers? Er, I mean SODAS. Wouldn’t want Disney to think we’re doing anything un-PG. Besides, until they come up with one that has a freezer inside, we’re storing our vodka elsewhere.
Somehow, though, I doubt this R2-D2 is as handy with stairs and booster rockets as his onscreen counterpart in Attack of the Clones, which means he’ll work best if you have smooth hardwood floors.Wouldn’t want a small thing like shag carpeting get in your way of letting a droid enhance your laziness, and turning YOU into the overweight blob of grease. Also, in the event of a nuclear attack, your Indiana Jones action figure can hide inside.
