    This Is Definitely Not The Droid You're Looking For

    We seriously don't know where this picture came from — I assumed an awesome geek girl's bachelorette party — but damn, the new R2 unit is limber! More »

It's a miracle that it all got past the ratings board. Check out our list of the hottest couples in the original Star Wars trilogy. More »
