@If Only This Was Fleshbot...: Not too inside, just one Gizmodo writer trying damn hard to abstain from referring to SW while describing something that looks an awful lot like an Astromech droid with an extremely, er, motivated motivator. (There, I said it.)

@If Only This Was Fleshbot...:
people been complaining about how all posts here are "blah blah blah...[star wars reference]" rise and repeat... Especially Chen. Lots of SW drops in his posts.

Are these omitted Star Wars references some kind of inside joke? I must be on the outside :(

How did it get up on the stool? The [StarWars reference omited] or by using [StarWars reference omitted]. Cause if it was [StarWars reference omitted], then that's one snazzy [StarWars reference omitted] using robot.

@strider_mt2k: Kinda like Boba Fett, R2D2, and that one broken Droid in the sandcrawler had a three-way

I kinda wish you had omited that Star Wars reference.

And a ton of OTS (off the shelf) love too!

Really cool.
