Three Interesting R2-D2 Variations

It’s a tribute to R2-D2 tonight with three different variations on the R2 theme. As the roundest character in Star Wars, it’s that shape that propelled the tiny droid into the hearts of the world as their favorite. Yeah definitely the shape and not the cute bleeps and blurps and the fact that ...

thumb

This is the most difficult post I’ve ever had to write. Resisting the urge to pull some quotes from the Simpsons yo-yo tricks episode (season three: Bart the Lover) is ripping me apart at the seams.
