"Android" is the english term for "Looks like a man". R2-D2 looks like a barrel. C-3PO looks like a man.<br /><br />P.S. I do have a point of contention with George Lucas, for not keeping the Clone Wars TV show up to par with the movies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09857362079455889314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-86708419560781680632012-02-06T13:23:10.489-08:002012-02-06T13:23:10.489-08:00So when Ben Kenobi says "these aren't the...So when Ben Kenobi says "these aren't the DROIDS you're looking for?" he's in error?<br /><br />Not to mention every time, in the original Star Wars film, they are mentioned as the missing DROIDS?<br /><br />I think you have a point of contention with George Lucas.John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-69160759231053159032012-02-06T11:26:05.207-08:002012-02-06T11:26:05.207-08:00R2-D2 is not an android.

Who cares about the new phone, or whatever the heck it is, that's going to be replaced by something that's even faster/prettier/shinier in a few months? Dude, go for the piece of cinema history! That phone-thing? Constantly going to depreciate in value. R2D2? Unless you're idiot to destroy it somehow, it's going to continue to gain value, not to mention it's a heck of a lot more useful than Verizon's latest toy. I'm glad he passed over R2D2, because he clearly does not appreciate that android. Now someone who does grasp the value and worth of R2 can have him (me, for example).RogueFiccerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771057308264812757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-11455820969474896112012-02-03T15:40:14.092-08:002012-02-03T15:40:14.092-08:00Better yet, why don't they just admit that the...Better yet, why don't they just admit that they hold the people they want to sell things to in contempt?DreadedCandiru2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15561460498807276057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-83724775025658605282012-02-03T08:53:00.926-08:002012-02-03T08:53:00.926-08:00If they're trying to show us how superior thei...If they're trying to show us how superior their new-and-shiny-thing is to the other new-and-shiny-things out there, why don't they compare it to something that's realistic? Like other new-and-shiny-things, instead of movie androids that no regular human could possibly own. <br /><br />I know, I know, my logic has no place in the world of cell phone ads.Pahzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12877861050356247528noreply@blogger.com
