R2-D2 has done many important things in his life. He carried the Death Star plans, befriended Luke, befriended Anakin before him (sure, whatever.) and even likes to ride in an X-Wing Fighter now and then. And now he is performing his most important task. Serving up beer to over-enthusiastic sports fans.
R2 can be seen in the accompanying image playing bartender at a tailgating party at the LSU vs. Washington football game.
They must have been drinking while they were making this Astromech droid, because his dome was painted purple and gold (LSU’s team colors.) He also has a bow tie. The main thing is that he is willing to serve up beer as long as you don’t mind putting some dollars into the tip jar.

This is definitely the droid that you are looking for if you are hungry and always pack your lunch to work. After all, R2D2 has served many a mission with the Rebel Alliance in the past, and here he is yet again with another mission – to make sure that you will remain nice and full in order to continue work for the rest of the afternoon. Yes sir, the world’s favorite astromech droid is now available in lunch bag form, complete with push button for beeps, boops, and lights.
If you happen to be a Star Wars fan and also have a great love for music, then you will be able to meet in the middle with the Guitar2-D2 – a particular piece of music instrument that falls under the purview of the DIY category. Doug is the mastermind behind this homemade Guitar2-D2, and it will have a guitar body that is shaped after everyone’s favorite astromech droid. After all, since R2-D2 has had plenty of time in space faring adventures in its rather colorful past, don’t you think that it is time for the venerable old droid to take a back seat and retire from the adrenaline pumping, Imperial Stormtroopers evading lifestyle? You should learn how to unwind, kick back those legs onto a sofa and start strumming some tunes that would make even Jabba the Hutt smile.
Yes, we all more or less know just which is the best astromech droid to have around whenever you are in a tight spot and need someone to bail you out, especially when there are no Jedi in the vicinity, and the Imperial forces are bearing down upon your location, fast! Well, this time around, the celebrated R2-D2 will not play its role as an assistant pilot, or unlock doors as well as move elevators around, but rather, what it does is something else which is equally important to preserving life as well – that is, by holding its stash of cookies to feed hungry stomachs.
