Droid Shopping

Finally got back from the outer rim and decided it was time to replace R2.  Who knows where he is?  Had the troopers search the entire Star Destroyer.  No signs of Leia.  Might as well do a little droid shopping at this Jawa Outlet I like.  Mostly refurbished and seconds, but you can't beat the prices. 



No.  Definitely not anything by Apple, thank you.  Next!

What's that one called?  A probe droid?  Uh, no, don't need one of those.  Next!

I can't be seen in public with a Hello Kitty Droid, what are you thinking?!  Next!

What's that one do?  Dispense Mountain Dew?  Next!

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!  Next!

What's wrong with this one?  A bad motivator?  I'll give you 200 credits for it.  Let's go!

Why I miss R2D2...

Please find my lost R2 unit.  We've been through a lot together.  I've got over a decade of data stored on his hard drive, including all my Beatles MP3s, jpegs of my art portfolio, and old holodisk images of all my family and friends.  I could get a new droid but it would never be the same.

It's like when photo went digital and everything became simpler to do.  Suddenly there wasn't a darkroom to hang out in anymore.  No smelly chemicals, but no one to talk to either.  My favorite camera to ever use was my trusty Pentax K-1000.  A sweet 35mm SLR with just aperture, shutter speed, and film settings.  So simple.  So intuitive.  My Cannon digital Rebel gets the job done, but why did they have to name the darn thing Rebel?  Why???

If you locate the R2 unit in question please contact me at jdrhodes77@gmail.com.
