R2-D2 Home Projector and DVD PlayerThis is for that “Star Wars” fan you know that has already collected everything and we admit too that we would love to have it in our home theater room. Behold the R2-D2 video projector and DVD player, the perfect way to experience all six films in George Lucas’ sci-fi epic.

This rec droid measures 341×328x519 mm and weighs 8 kg. The DLP projection, which shines through R2’s main optic eye, produces 1800:1 contrast and 1500 lumens of light output. The dome head moves side-to-side, its legs move back and forth and it can be positioned on its wheels to find that perfect view. Video/audio ports are concealed in the back of the robot via a panel, but what really elevates this to must own status is the iPod docking slot under a front panel and the Millennium Falcon remote control that comes with it.

The R2-D2 projector/player is manufactured by Japanese electronics firm Nikko and retails for 388,000 yen (that’s $3,160 of our dollars.) Don’t forget to don your Darth Vader mask when you watch “Revenge of the Sith” DVD outtakes.
