'He has the same charisma and charm that we have come to know in R2D2.' And apparently 'Hasbro also has programmed secret commands into R2D2 - putting an emphasis on the upper end of the "8-and-over" target market.' Rocky Mountain News has this article on it. You can also go to the (very meager) website that Hasbro has made just for it."

    Is there any way in hell that that link is 1% as bad as goatse.cx? If all the trollish goatse.cx links were replaced with witty SW pr0n, then I'm sure that a lot of people present here would be very, very pleased.
