So we're all in agreement, the Star Wars special editions were a huge waste of time that offered nothing new to three perfectly fine movies. So sue me, I don't think Greedo shooting first adds anything to the story. 

This, however, is good stuff. The YouTuber Auralnauts replaced all of R2-D2's beeps with an actual voice that kind of sounds like Elijah Wood. It does sound like Elijah Wood, right?

Anyway, this is a fun video that reminds me of those videos of BB-8 with Jean Ralphio's voice dubbed in. 

What's cooler than being cool? Ice cold beverages delivered to you by droid, obviously.  Japanese appliance brand Aqua has created this adorable and functional R2D2 miniature refrigerator for exactly that.  As if having an R2 mini-fridge wasn't cool enough, the unit is also capable of going wireless and delivering your beverages to you by remote control!  Who needs a significant other to bring you a beer when you've got a robot who doesn't judge your drinking habits?



The fridge, which I'm hereby dubbing the R2Beer2, is set to hit the market some time next year. 

San Diego artist César Aguzzoli designed, printed, and applied this vehicle wrap to his VW Bug, somehow making the iconic vehicle even more adorable.

Designers at ALTAR furniture spend hojillions of hours hand-crafting this custom pinball/coffee table that can even move around on its own R2 legs!

Or gentleman. No judging here.
