EXCLUSIVE: Interview with R2-D2

Below are the exclusive excerpts from an exclusive upcoming tell-all exclusive story where the exclusively beloved actor, R2-D2 exclusively whistles and clicks about his exclusive experience in making the exclusive Star Wars exclusive movie exclusive franclusiveise.

 

Vannyboy: Mr. 2, thank you for taking this time to talk to us. Mattyman and I are, of course, really big fans, and find out that the older we get the bigger we are and it's harder to lose the weight. But regardless, we are fans, as are, and I'm not exaggerating here, every single Gen-Xer to ever live in this, or any other, universe.

R2-D2SQUEAK SWWEEE WHRIRT WROOOOooo.

Mattyman: That is so nice of you to say so. When were you originally approached to join the cast of Star Wars?

R2-D2: WHRRIIICKCKC ROOOOOooo TWIKK KIIWWRRTT ZZZOORROO...

Mattyman: 1976. That makes sense. Where there any concerns you had about the role?

R2-D2: WRRRRIIIIIIIiiii ZZRRROOOO TWWK TWWK ROOOooo bROOOO...

Vannyboy: Wait...George Lucas wanted you to shoot the ENTIRE movie in the nude?!?

Mattyman: But...you look the same in every picture we've ever seen. Even right now, in this interview, you look the same.

R2-D2: BIIKKK BIK RRRWOOOOooo.

Vannyboy: Well, you might have worn some pants or something, R2. It's odd sitting here talking to you now knowing that you are literally completely necked.

Mattyman: Would it make you more comfortable, R2, if Vannyboy and I were both naked? We don't have to be naked, but we can be. We would drop trow right now and hop in that hot tub right there and splash water on each other and...

Vannyboy: Matt!! Think about what you are saying!

Mattyman: Sorry, Vannyboy. I shouldn't have volunteered you to be nude.

Vannyboy: It's not that, dolt! You want to sit in a hot tub with what is, in essence, a smartass toaster? No offense, R2...

R2-D2: WRREEEEeeeooo.

Mattyman: Sorry, back on subject. Why did Lucas insist on you being nude the whole shoot?

R2-D2: CLICCCCKKKK SHHHHEE ZOOOooo TIK TIK TOOOooooo.

Mattyman: So, it wasn't really Lucas, it was only on the insistence of C-3PO?

Vannyboy: Wait, I thought C-3PO was a lesbian?
