Watch as C3PO finally gets R2D2 where he wants him
The classic game of Operation is fun and all, but even in its sanitized card, plastic and metal form, digging into the faux-flesh of the human body is kind of gross. As somebody so squeamish he can barely cut his nails without feeling nauseous (don’t get into a slap fight with me unless you want to get sliced), it’s a game I’d love to play but sadly never will.
Or will I? Operation Star Wars has you playing a surgeon C3PO, operating on your little blue and white lover, R2D2. The robotic game of doctors and nurses has you welding the tweezers to pull out not bones but lightsabers, Leia holograms and tiny versions of Darth’s helmet and the Death Star.
Who knows how these things got in there (or how you’re supposed to grab a hologram with tweezers)? And who cares? If you’ve ever wondered what is inside the blooping body and brain of Artoo, now you know: tiny, abstract representations of the real world, just like we carry in our own heads. I guess robots and humans aren’t so different, after all.
Available for pre-order, shipping September. $30.
