Loyal droid or junk? A review of the R2-D2 desktop vacuum

December 2, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Boba does Borderlands; R2 is Claptrap

June 25, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This excellent mashup is the work of French artist Max Fradet. I think he captures all four characters wonderfully. You can tell at a glance you’ll looking at Boba Fett and R2-D2. You also know you’re looking into Borderlands and at Claptrap too. It’s well worth checking out his Deviant Art profile.
