Star Wars Kinect Teases R2-D2's Girlfriend

In a perfect world, R2-D2 and the Kinect hardware would get along really well.

The Star Wars portion of Microsoft's ostentatious E3 event announcing Kinect [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/101312-First-Impressions-Microsoft-Kinect] was arguably the coolest moments of the evening. Who hasn't dreamed of wielding a lightsaber with your real hands and meting out Jedi justice on some unsuspecting Stormtroopers? But since that presentation over a year ago, we've only heard a few peeps of what to expect in a Star Wars-themed Kinect game. That is, until this short teaser advertising on Spike TV popped up promising more information at E3 2011.


Ok, so no actual gameplay is shown, and there's no actual information given other than to expect more reveals at E3, but it's still entertaining watching R2 interact with Kinect.

The only thing this video is missing is for R2 to extend his multi-tool, if you know what I mean.

Eww, droid love. Gross!

No doubt there will be a Star Wars Kinect game, and it will be a massive disappointment.

the only star kinect game their should be is one with only light-sabers.

and r2-d2's girlfriend? WAT!?

how does that work?
"I want you to defrag me all night long"
"i'll make you feel like a new alien ware desktop with 8 gig of ram, baby"
"are you an xbox 360 cause you got game."
"i love it when you talk viral."

i'll stop now.

This is not to dissimilar to my thoughts whenever something Star Wars-related comes out; has been for the last five years, since all the good stuff seemed to dry up.

Still, we'll have to see, but I can't exactly say I'm holding my breath for anything this E3; it'll likely pass by the same way every previous one has.

More like: "Beep beep-boop whirr beep zzzzzz... boop"

Edit:
Uh, I hope that wasn't too erotic, admins. I don't want to get banned for that...

Wow. That makes the scene where he revives the pink R2 unit at the end of The Great Heep arc/movie from Droids so very wrong.

(Does anyone else here remember that?)

And this is why Lucas should have have Star Wars surgically removed from his grip.
