Let’s face it kids, you weren’t going to be a doctor. Time to give up on that dream. But what about the equally exciting and significantly less bloody world of droid repair?

With future job markets in mind (ones oddly similar to those experienced a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away), Hasbro is launching a new edition of the popular board game Operation, swapping out the red-nosed Cavity Sam for everyone’s favorite rolling trashcan, R2-D2. The game can be pre-ordered now for $27, and it’ll start shipping in September, so if you need an early-autumn kid birthday gift for under $30, this may be just the droid you’re looking for.

‘Let’s face it; a lot of people in this world are shortsighted. When warned about the future dangers caused by global warning, many people think so what? I’ve got a hundred years on this earth at most and then the next generation can deal with it? Our civilization has historically had a problem with planning […]
