    So if you're having problems with it, do you stick a pencil through the holes and spin?

    This on my desktop would be an unpleasant reminder of the hundreds of music cassettes in my closet. I can't bring myself to toss them. Anybody got any helpful hints?

    @PaddyDugan: Play them in a portable Walkman, directly to your sound card, and digitize the contents? Assuming it's anything you really want to keep, that is.

    It should come with a Gig of internal memory so you can still make a soppy mixtape and send it to that girl with the cute smile with the locker across from yours.

    He's an one of the very few Imperial astromechs that we ever see, so Imp-loyalists might find him preferable. He's painted black, so anyone with a case of Mac-backlash might prefer him over any white-bodied astromech. Um...and frankly, any R2-unit astromech besides R2-D2 has about as much chance as any other in having a huge fanbase, and any non-R2 astromech would require new tooling. As far as I'm concerned, it's probably the best choice they could make to get more use out of the same molds.

    Star Wars dork here: R2-Q5 is NOT "an R2-D2 unit." R2-Q5, R2-D2, and any other droid whose designation begins with "R2," are simply R2 units. Calling R2-Q5 "an R2-D2 unit" is analogous to calling a Pontiac Grand Am a "Pontiac Solstice unit." Understand?

    Thank you, all, we get that it is not Revenge of the Jedi. I'm not really sure what it was about the other six posts correcting Dan that made you think "I should say the exact same thing again" but needless to say it is appreciated.

    Back on topic, this is expensive and I bet it would be annoying as hell. Besides, R2-D2 has Firewire.

    @jdale: And yet, I don't see any rules anywhere saying I can't be snarky and sarcastic. Although I try not to be so pretentious as a star commenter, I'm still waiting for someone to realize they gave a star to the wrong person and take it back. So I try not to be all "in your face" with it.

    Besides, who are you to address me directly, O Grey Commenter? Bow before my comment-approving majesty!

    I don't know what the rest of you think, but I think a typo like "Revenge of the Jedi" deserves a Giz staff member disemvowelment.

    "Revenge of the Jedi"?

    I thought Lucas discarded that name in favor of, you know, "*Return* of the Jedi"?
