FIRST
PHURRST !! !!!! ! !! 1!!!
Aw crap
….And R2D2 is fictional.
R2D2 – 0
Modern Technology – 1
wow thank you master of the obvious, we had no idea a movie prop was fake
Whooosh!
it’s not fake. It just requires an operator.
(well if we’re talking the orignal trilogy.)
and by the way.. no relation to Barefoot..
You’re welcome, Keeper of the Sarcasm.
No prob.. it’s a dirty job but someone has to do it.
R2D2 fictional??? Noooo!!!!
The DALEKS — In comparison, your R2D2 sucks monkey balls! ^^
This droid is the single best hacking device of all time.
If someone could get R2D2 into Davros’ inner sanctum, I suppose he could hack a Dalek army…
EXTERMINATE
PUT THEM IN THE CURRY
Yes, nothing beats a trashcan with a plunger on it…
I can’t watch porn on R2D2.
……..okay maybe I could but then he’d be watching me. Ew.
Well, he can project 3D pics of space chicks, at least.
And you’d still need a golden humanoid robot to tell you what the blasted thing is saying!
Id rather have the Iphone.
Please. R2D2 is WHACK compared to the other listed devices.
A 1970s vision of the future which is already obsolete. We could make droids like this if there was a market, but there is not because people don’t want clunky, awkward tin cans – They want sleek, small devices.
The poster of this caption is a sentimental douchebag who talks big shit but has no fucking clue.
Yes, but you realize that this isn’t a vision of the future, yes? It’s a vision of the past, with a completely different culture. Maybe they preferred big machines that had a lot of mechanical workings.
and can also calculate hyperspace trajectories allowing the X-wing to travel in hyperspace – get that app for your iphone
And technically, it really should be a ‘droid (which is short for android, a humanoid robot) – unless your thinking of Danny De Vito
really shoud NOT be a ‘droid – pedantic rant fail
Wait a second, you think R2D2 is humanoid?
C3P0 yes, he’s a ‘droid, R2D2 is a robot. I don’t care what George Lucas thinks. A robot with a simple personality perhaps, but certainly not an android.
Incidentally, I bet you the second anybody needs to be able to calculate hyperspace trajectories there *will be* an iPhone app for it. At present we struggle to send unmanned probes puttering out to the planets in our own solar system. We’ve no way of visiting others.
Or are you hiding a real X-Wing in your garage? In which case, Lord Vader sent me to kill you, Jedi scum
It was a typo, I agree it should NOT be a ‘droid, it is a robot – another example of Lucas’s cavalier attitude to language and terminology, like “I made the Kessel run in 12 parsecs”, or the language spoken by Leia pretending to be the alien “Yarto, yarto” and “yarto”
I’d like to see that app though, ihyperspace – we just need to solve that minor problem of special relativity and the fact that we can’t even get to Mars, anything outside the solar system is impossible
And the Alliance has forbidden me to disclose the existence of my X-wing, so, um, I deny that I have an X-wing in my garage. But I do have my lightsaber, so bring it on, Sithspawn!
Actually, I think I just bought an app for my Iphone that fires death rays. Oh! and also a starship hacking app.
Daleks and Astrodroids be warned.
Astro droids don’t fit in your pocket.
It’s hard to compare something that works, and something that doesn’t. That’s like saying, well two broken kidneys are better than one.
Too many starwars geeks on this site
starwars geeks > apple freaks
no?
no.
In this movie, the hero IS the gadget.
I would love to have a real R2 unit like R2-D2!
RH2 is old product on old movie.
I think I saw R2 on that new site that all the celebrities hook up on. The website is called RichDater
Win.
My computer talks to me, in perfect English. R2 sucks, sorry.
playing games with semitransparent holograms projected in the air sucks.
and he doesnt support filesharing.
I wonder if you could Jailbreak him, though. . .
What the hell is an iTouch?
Try Google, the first result is generally the most accurate.
Though in this case, context should make it rather obvious.
Yeah, it pulls up “iPod Touch.” You know why? Because that’s what they’re farking called! Gah, I get so angry when people try to shorten crap like this. It’s just a sign of laziness.
Good thing I have a Zune!
Malexhe, fail. He didn’t list Zune because it is so much less than the other things he listed. It was self explanatory.
rock on malexhe.
love my zune and zune pass
ITS NOT AN ITOUCH! ITS AN IPOD TOUCH! ITOUCH SOUNDS CREEPY!
Besides that, hilarious lol. And so true. Apple should come out with the iR2D2.
It’s a device that you touch and stroke its surface. That’s not creepy?
Can you imagine if an iphone was actually powered by a midget hiding inside of it?!?!?!
It’s all a case of intended purpose, isn’t it?
1. My iPod will fit in my pocket.
2. My iPod can make intelligible noises.
3. I don’t have to learn to speak a language of bleeps to use my iPod.
4. My iPod does what it’s told, when it’s told.
5. My iPod doesn’t wander off when I’m not there.
6. R2D2 is only of any use whatsoever when the device it is meant to operate is specifically designed to interface with him. You put him in a modern world with none of those conveniently circular locking devices, or with stairs in it (and yes, I know he has rocket boosters in his legs, do you WANT your carpet set on fire?) and he’ll be no use at all.
7. R2D2 was designed as a starship diagnostic droid. Do you have your starship yet? No? Not even a jetpack? Pity.
8. The only noises R2D2 has ever made are “Beep”, “Whoodle”, “Wheee” and “Fnark”. That might be good enough for Bjork songs, but it ain’t going to cut it if what you want is Sinatra.
-Ash
the amount of nerdyness never ceases to amaze me
Well, it is Star Wars
HAHA u didnt say computer!!!!
R2D2 is the perfect man. Good at computers, knows how to serve, can pack a weapon, vibrates, and you can’t understand a word he is saying.
I lolled
Ah, bless. You go on and jump in your X-wing with your little gay robot and fly off to LucasLand we’ll stay here in the real world and watch some better movies.
C3PO is the gay robot – R2D2 is a roboslut who will interface with just about anything
And Star Wars is the Greatest Movie of All Time, OF ALL TIME!! – Orson Welles, after finishing Citizen Kane famously said “It’s a good movie sure, but what I really wanted to make is a movie where these two robots meet up with an old man and a young farmer boy and they get chased by an evil warlord of an evil empire and escape with the help of a space pirate and then they rescue a princess and then the farmer boy turns out to be a hero with amazing powers who flies a really cool looking spacecraft and blows up a huge planet destroying Space Station, but I didn’t have the budget”
At least my laptop can run a voice-synthesizer.
Meh. R2 has to plug in to access network material. Screw that, I’ll just hack my iPod Touch.
