Modder Mark Bongo has gone above and beyond with his latest creation: A fully-functioning R2-D2 that is complete with a projector.

Nothing gets me more worked up than a woman in Star Wars-themed apparel. I don’t care whether it’s a full-bodied Stormtrooper costume or this R2-D2 Swimsuit. If she’s wearing it, I’m drooling. This one-piece swimsuit is modest enough for even the most conservative women, but geeky enough to keep me completely interested. James Lillis designed this R2-D2 Swimsuit, which is ...

When you need to tidy up after the incineration of a Jedi’s corpse, there’s only one vacuum cleaner powerful enough to withstand the midichlorian count of such a powerful master is the R2VAC2, rendered by DeviantArt user Agent-Spiff. You don’t even want to know where C-3PO’s nozzle hose is located. Link [via]

It’s not that I don’t love R2-D2 with all of my heart, it’s just that I don’t think I can condone my iPhone smoking. The R2-D2 iPhone Case wraps your Apple device in a shell inspired by our favorite resilient astromech droid. You can pre-order the exclusive case for $29.95 from the Star Wars Shop. Link [via]

“Hey, Artoo, you look a little different today.” “Who? Me?” “Yeah… you. Did you get a haircut?” “Uhhh… no, no, I’m on a diet. I’ve lost a few pounds.” “Ahh, that explains it. Wait… could you speak English yesterday?” “Ummm… yes?” “Oh, alright then. Carry on.” If Darth Vader ever wants to send a mole over to infiltrate the geniuses ...

Poor Artoo has really gone through a lot the last few years since we publisher our first post back in 2006. From his image being branded on the sides of mailboxes to being used to peddle trash cans to messy geeks, we can’t say R2-D2 has gotten much of a fair deal as far as his image goes. But this ...

There’s more genius to this prank then meets the eye. A group of students at Minnesota’s Carleton College decided that the school’s very own Goodsell Observatory was due for a face lift. The real genius behind this prank is that the students did not turn to defacement to achieve the droid they were looking for. This group of enterprising young ...

He’s been known to enjoy a cigarette or two. He’s an avid gamer. And he’s a huge fan of the postal service. Is there anything this droid can’t do? Add trash repository to his resume. Available in both full and desktop sizes, the R2-D2 Trash Can is the perfect spot to dispose of all of that space junk you come ...

Fellow GEARhead, Philly, wrote to us to tell us of her thrill at finding this excellent R2-D2 cake, which she said was particularly exciting because she had “always wondered what a droid tasted like.” Well, let me tell you, droids come in many flavors. Some taste like straight up metal, but then there are others that have that generic chicken-y ...

I always suspected something was amiss. R2 was pretty chubby. Now if all of that space was filled with super technological circuitry, you’d think he’d at least be able to talk. Now we know exactly why he couldn’t do more. Most of his body was filled with friggen’ birds! Those poor little birds must have developed some sort of ailments ...
