Steampunk R2-D2

January 24th 2008 00:16

Everyone knows that R2-D2 is, hands-down, the awesomest part of Star Wars, even including the lightsabres, Boba Fett and that big monster in the sand that digests you for 1 000 years.

People love to mashup and remix R2, and it was inevitable that someone would combine the fiery burners of the steampunk fiction genre with the Star Wars universe. Sure, we've had a little bit of artwork come out of the walls, like this Steampunk Darth Vader, but what about a real steampunk droid?

The dudes at Crabfu.com made a working Steampunk R2-D2, with real steam and lots of little gears.

It's pretty cool, I guess. Though I have to admit that I'm underwhelmed... I suppose I was expecting it to be more contraption-y...

I came in expecting something really awesome, and like you I'm a tad disappointed.. still, it is quite cool.

Pffft. Everyone knows that Jar-Jar Binks is the coolest part of Star Wars.
