back to article Your very own R2 unit multimedia machine

Japanese firm Nikko has created an all-in-one multimedia device incorporating projector, DVD player, media card reader and oh, so much more.

    :O

    I SO want one of these! Then I'd organise it to play a clip of "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You are my only hope."

    "um, 'foot'" ???

    ...Come to think of it, maybe that IS why he can only communicate in high-pitched whistles and bleeps.

    disappointing

    It would only be worth £2000 if it was big enough for you to imprison dwarfs in, just like the original. add some controls inside and bingo...

    Insist that Astromech droids are top of the line and that they are very useful when flying/driving your Starfighter/car.
