LT's Coolest Tech Product of The Week - R2D2 Projector - Has the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars Officially Started?

Featured at the CES 2007 in Vegas:

"Star Wars and gadget geeks, you may want to sit down before reading this post. This 1/2 scale remote controlled R2D2 has a projector stashed in his dome, capable of an 80-inch picture. And said controller is shaped like the Millenium Falcon. By the falcon's command, the sassy little droid can be driven forward and back and right down the trash compactor. The remote'll also spin his cute little dome piece around, trigger 11 R2 sounds from the movies. And there's a built in DVD player with stereo speakers, an iPod dock connector, USB and memory card slots, as well as AV inputs...."

What, no Leia projection on the table? "Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi. You are my only hope." That would have been too cool if they somehow added that into it. Asking Price? $2,500. Look for a February '07 to March '07 release. May 2007 is the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars. Could this be a preview of some of the other cool products we will see this year to commemorate? Stay tuned!
