Nov 18 2009R2-D2 Finally Spotted In New Star Trek Movie
Remember how you heard J.J. Abrams snuck R2-D2 somewhere in the new Star Trek movie? And remember how you kept going back to the theater with the hopes of spotting him? God, you need a hobby. I dunno, World of Warcraft or something. Anyway, thanks to the recent release of the film and newfangled slow-motion technology, the droid has been spotted.
The blog Gizmodo has located the brave droid's appearance, and frankly, it's no surprise that 99.999% of the world couldn't spot the "Star Wars" star. R2-D2 appears for about one microsecond during a battle scene. Floating across the screen from left to right, the droid appears to be enjoying himself, however briefly.
Well, there he is. Finally, we can all sleep at night. Together, in a big pile like in Where The Wild Things Are the one time they're all happy before Max proceeds to eff everything up. And speaking of which: you run away from my home and guess what -- there isn't going to be any chocolate cake waiting for you when you get back. There's gonna be a locked door. And maybe a belt so you can whip yourself if you're lucky.

Thanks to jessica, Matty and Lunarion, who spotted him the first time but didn't want to say anything because they didn't want to ruin it for the rest of you. Plus, they make great friends because they can keep secrets.

@2 most of us that know GW, know GW (like that double?) wouldn't stoop to the level you're insulting him down to
Since you're a firstard dork coward hiding behind anonymity, just type first for your gay little name before typing first WHEN FAILING TO ACTUALLY BE FIRST since you have nothing else to contribute here.
...I don't watch star trek but r2-d2 floating in space in the movie is FTW

good lord do you realize how long R2 must have been drifting through space? I mean star wars was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away right? so for probably eons, that poor little droid was floating through space until spotted in our future.

JJ Abrams is a miserable, worthless, derivative, opportunist hack. I hope he dies in agony, and soon.
21. 4nerds - November 18, 2009 6:42 PM
Yeah and there is a Firefly class ship in the new BSG.... Have you seen it ??

...and the Vulcan ship from Star Trek: First Contact appears a couple of times inside the Narada (although that isn't really and easter egg as it could really happen).

You have called upon yourself DOOM!!! George Lucas has risen and will now SMITE you and lay ash to your people......or he could have signed off on this thinking it was funny, I guess we'll just have to find out now won't we?
