R2-D2 found in STID

[SalvorHardin]

I don't think this was mentioned before. Sucked out after the Vengeance fires on the Enterprise while at warp.

Why does Abrams insist on continuing to rape my childhood? Wasn't once enough?

 

[Kemaiku]

Considering this is the second time the little guy has been blasted off a starship in these films, no.

It'll be interesting to see if he survives to get blown up a third time in the next film.

They should work that into Star Wars 7

"RS-D2, where the hell have you been?"
*whatever the hell passes as speech for him*
"Well serves you right for stowing away on their ships for 12 years!"

You can never eat just one.

 

[austen_pierce]

Is this for real?

 

[SalvorHardin]

Is this for real?

Yes. Easy to verify if you have the dvd/blu-ray.

It's an in-joke. Might be ILM's idea.

Artoo's made cameos in effects shots going all the way back to Close Encounters of the Third Kind (link).

 

[SeerSGB]

That's it: Astromechs are now canon to the new timeline.

That will be fucking awesome.

VFX-artist can be just as nerdy as us fans here; hence the Enterprise in BSG's rag-tag fleet or the Millennium Falcon on the Rodger Young in Starship Troopers

 

[Opus]

Naboo is part of The Federation.

I'd love to see pics of these!

Also, now we're in a HD world has anyone got a screencap of the Millenium falcon in the big fleet battle against the Borg at the beginning of first contact?
I remember reading ages ago exactly where it is supposed to be and how to spot it, but I could never see it with my non HD-eyes

It's only a little bit clearer in HD

Thank you very much!

For some reason I was looking at the final Borg Cube explosion, so I never had a chance!

How long until the R2/Khan fanfics start pouring in?

 

[SeerSGB]

There ya' go: Khan designed the Vengance based on the fact he was a Star Wars fan.

Artoo's last recorded words: "beep squeal rass!"
Translation: Fuck off!

How long until the R2/Khan fanfics start pouring in?

Artoo extended his scomplink as Khan slowly undressed...

 

[M'Sharak]

How long until the R2/Khan fanfics start pouring in?

In which L. Ron Hoover declares that he believes Khan to be a Latent Appliance Fetishist.

Naboo is part of The Federation.

Would've been, if only Keira had signed that treaty!

 

[ManOnTheWave]

Is this for real?

R2-D2 appears in one form or another in every JJ Abrams movie. Like Slusho or the name Kelvin, it's just one of his in jokes.
