Didn’t this guy once help defeat the dark side and save the galaxy or something? Well now he’s apparently moonlighting as a set of R2D2 Speakers.

For you Star Wars fans out there you can now play the famous Star Wars theme through your very own set of R2D2 speakers inspired by the greatest robotic sidekick of all time. Simply hook him up to an audio input, flip up the little guy’s head (it’s OK—he doesn’t mind) and enjoy some tunes. Just don’t tell C-3PO as it might be a little embarrassing to go from galactic hero to playing “I will survive” out the top of your head.

“Since the Star Wars movies R2-D2 seems to have fallen on hard times. You’d think a successful droid would have an easy time finding work… but unfortunately due to his speech impediment and close association with C-3PO (who later turned out to have quite the affection for vaporators) he was forced to find work as a pepper grinder, trashcan and even a laundry basket. Now R2 is trying his hand at audio with this nifty speaker set. You get a two-droid set, R2-D2 and his red doppleganger R2-D1. Each features a flip-up head to reveal a speaker. Plug the stereo headphone style plug into your PC, iPod or spare Wookie for some droid-based sound. We won’t kid you, these speakers are not powered so their volume is limited by whatever audio input you give them. But don’t you want to help out a droid who’s down on his luck?”
