R2D2 Cameo finally found? (with pic)

[cooleddie74]

That Jawa restraining bolt was useful for MANY unspoken things not shown in the movies.

Wow, I totally walked into that, didn't I.

The mistake MANY make when it comes to my humor.

^ And indeed, trousers.

 

[cooleddie74]

^ And indeed, trousers.

Hey. YOU voluntarily drank that whole bottle of Nyquil at my party. Don't look at moi with askance, accusatory eyes.

 

[ITL]

^ Hey! it's early onset dementia and you know it. Askance, indeed...

On topic:
Something, something, beep beep, whistle, beep.

You've got Captain Pike locked in your basement?

Now I'm curious as to why R2 was chosen for the cameo. Does anyone know?

It could have (and perhaps should have) been a little Star Trek cameo like the TOS Enterprise or something, but it was R2D2 because Abrams bums Star Wars.

 

[M'Sharak]

"...Abrams bums Star Wars"?

Translation, please?

 

[startrekrcks]

He just a wanted to give a little nod to Star Wars what's the problem in that

Not quite the translation I was looking for, thanks.

Translation, please?

Meh, do we really want to know?

That couldn't be more fake if after 30 seconds R2 jumped out and screamed at you.

It's real, and you can find it at 47:39 on your Blu-Ray version.
This is from my Blu-ray copy. I took the picture on my HDTV. Click the image to enlarge it:

Yes, it is entirely real and very obvious once you know to look for it.

And, I don't mean to be mean but for some reason I always love it when people cry fake with 100% certainty only to have it blow up in their face

I kinda feel bad for the little guy. That shit looks like it hurts.

 

[GhostFaceSaint]

I wonder if he'll appear again somewhere in XII?

Just curious. Language is sort of a hobby, you might say.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

^ I suspect it has something to do with sex and 'bums'.

 

[M'Sharak]

Could be. I just hadn't seen it put that way before.

 

[GhostFaceSaint]

It would be cool if we saw C3PO walking by somewhere in the twelfth film, maybe just the back of him as he passed by on a crowded street or in the hall of the Enterprise.

Yeah! and then kids can ask their dads who that golden robot is and they'll say he's from Star Wars and then the kids will watch Star Wars and go "Hey, this is miles better than Star Trek..."

I think Harrison Ford should just show up, knee Chris Pine in the balls, wink at the camera and then leave.

I'd rather see Shatner or Takei do that to Ford.
