R2-D2 Alarm Clock Requires X-Wing Bedsheets
Posted by Jesus Diaz at 10:07 PM on September 5, 2008
I hate, hate, alarm clocks. Especially after going out and having way too many straight bourbons. Like yesterday. But I digress. This R2-D2 Alarm Clock will wake you up with real R2 squeeks and electrobabbles. And while it doesn't have the same power as the much-lusted-after R2-D2 video projector, it projects the time on the wall, too, using lasers, or tractor beams, or probably just LEDs.

I want mine to project "Proton-powered electrical-tentacled advertising droids, proton-powered electrical-tentacled advertising droids, proton-powered electrical-tentacled advertising droids!" in the morning.
@zayden: This is R2, not C3PO, uncultured swine.

@zayden: I don't see a Jar-Jar or Hans Christian Haynderson clock. Am I missing them?

I used to own "Return of the Jedi" sheets for my bed. I only wish they still made them, and for king size beds. They had Leah and Jabba on them. Anyone know how loud this is?

I need it or I will explode! I get to wake up on time AND take out my aggression on one of the most annoying characters in the Star Wars series.

As I ask of all unconventional alarm clocks, Where's the snooze button?

@zayden: He doesn't say 'ani' in a prepubescent high pitch girlish/retard voice so for most people he couldn't simply make fart sounds and it would be a hit

This morning i just gave a co-worker of mine some star wars spoons that light up in lightsaber fashion. He informed me that he has a set of star wars bowls that will go perfectly with them.
This means that you can wake up to your star wars alarm clock, pull back your star wars sheets, walk to your star wars-themed kitchen, get out your star wars bowl and star wars spoon and eat a big bowl of C3PO's cereal
+ Watch video
Merchandising, merchandising, merchandising!

I find the "new" flying and more annoying R2 disturbing.

@zayden: Who knew he could fly?
Just think, instead of dragging himself through the the sands of Tatooine, he could have just ... flown.

Projects the time on the wall, you say..?
hmm.. sounds like a step in the right direction.

@munkyhed:
Don't forget putting on my Darth Vader Underoos, opening up my Return of the Jedi curtains in my RoJ wallpapered room and grabbing my Empire Strikes Back lunchbox before heading off to school.
Yes.. I have them now. No I don't still wear the Underoos.
