Mar 1 2009What An R2-D2 Boombox Might Look Like
This is artist Bill McMullen's concept of what an R2-D2 boombox might look like if George Lucas had actually marketed some cool Star Wars merchandise instead of all the crap I still bought anyways. Unfortunately, this R2-Boom2 doesn't actually work, making it infinitely less useful for breakdancing. That sucker needs to pump some fresh beats! And also, project a holographic Leia that strips to the music. Best idea ever, or best idea ever -- you be the judge.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and his friend make a boom box that's based off of Bender from Futurama. They then sell it hoping to make some money. But realize that they forgot to actually make it do stuff. All it was was a big box based off of Bender that looks like a boom box. They sell it to a manufacturing company and it starts to get highly produced. They start to see people all around their town with them. They decided to destroy them all so they don't get in trouble. Max and his buddy go to the manufacturing factory and burn it. All the production ends and when somebody got mad because it doesn't play music, they just said that the factory was corrupted, that's why it burned down and why all of the Bender boom boxes had something wrong with them.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max is made to partner with Kelly Bundy at work. He makes a bunch of crank calls to her to try and upset her.

I don't normally comment (or actually I try to avoid looking at the comments at all with all the FAKE!!!! spam) but I wanted to thank you for posting on the week end. Most blogs don't which is annoying.

Long time ago, R2D2 and Soundwave drank too many margaritas and... well... sad ending, R2 promised to call soundwave and never did
