Looks Like R2-D2 Borrowed Darth Vader’s Helmet

Looks Like R2-D2 Borrowed Darth Vader's Helmet
UK based artist Bea Toa created this cool illustration that depicts Darth Vader’s helmet after R2-D2 borrowed it and gave it a makeover. The droid has a nice sense of humor and a great eye for art. R2’s work here actually gives us a look into the droid’s mind and it’s weird.

He obviously wants to be BFFs with Vader and even writes that he misses Vader and asks him to “Come back to us”. While at the same time, the droid gets his digs in with “Luke is a better pilot” and calling him a traitor. I guess R2 is one messed up droid. It’s awesome.

R2-D2 Purse: The Fashion Awakens
We all wish we could carry a droid around with us, but in this galaxy at least, robots still have a ways to go. Your best bet for hanging out with a droid is this R2-D2 purse.

It has glossy panels of cobalt blue, frosty grey, and white, all structured to look just like our favorite Astromech droid. You’ll want to take this little droid everywhere. I guess that makes you C-3PO.

This is the droid laptop I’ve been looking for. Don’t try to tell me otherwise with your fancy Jedi mind tricks. Ed Zarick created this awesome R2-D2 PS4 laptop. He used 3D printed replicas of Artoo’s parts. It even sounds just like R2-D2 thanks to an Adafruit WaveShield.

It is a more streamlined PS4 from a more civilized age. I love all of the detailing. It is just perfect. Check out the video below.

I can’t believe this wasn’t released years ago, but better late than never. This Star Wars R2-D2 Bluetooth Speaker is arriving in early September for $50. It includes a rechargeable battery that can be charged with a microUSB cable, speakerphone capabilities, and a 3.5-millimeter audio jack for plugging in other audio sources.

Now when you talk on the phone, R2 will always be in on the conversation when he’s not serving up your favorite tunes. Not bad for a droid head on your desk.
