R2! Something’s come loose back there. See what you can do about it. Also, please please please let that guy be dressed like this. – Ms. Fix-It

So he had to sell his xwing and settled for this used older model… He has not been seen in year and it’s believed to be selling himself for meth in Tattoine.

Copy & paste this:
I’d like to keep it on manual control for a while.
Funny, I know the guy that made that, he works at the grocery where I shop.
I. Love. This. Car. I have one just like it… well, a white Escort Wagon sans Starwars, but… wow. Tell that guy he’s some grad student’s hero.
after George Jetsons time machine broke down, stranding him in the 1990′s, he did what he could to fit in and adapt
George Jetson? Really? How more obviously could one make a car look like an X-Wing and leave it street legal?
That thing cannot possibly be street legal. I don’t care what the laws actually say, I just know there’s no cop who’s going to let this thing go past.
Son, I am disappoint.
Star Wars = 1977. Comment FAIL
I feel that this person is more commenting on the fact that this is a mid-to-late 90′s model station wagon-type vehicle, and making a Jetson’s joke independent of the rampant Star Wars references. I support him or her.
exactly. thanks for your support.
Actually, I’d say Luke is fine, given that he never piloted an A-Wing (which is what this is supposed to be) in the movies. The A-Wings weren’t on screen for very long (if you blinked you’d miss them) and none of the major or minor characters were involved with them. They were later included in some EU stuff but most of that is unknown to your average layman.
The Moral of the Story is:
1. I’m a huge Star Wars nerd.
2. If you’re going to caption a Star Wars related picture, make sure you get it right or Star Wars nerds like myself will show up and call you out.
A-Wings don’t have an R2 Unit on the top, like the X-Wings and Y-Wings, and this thing.
“average layman”?!?
Is being a Star Wars Trivia nerd really a profession? Clergy? Oh, expert… OK.
pffffft
We love call outs. They give the rest of us a chance to see exactly how geeked-up you nerd types can really get. Bring it. Ms. Fix-it can take it.
You say “geeked-up nerd types” as if that’s a bad thing.
bad thing – but in a good way
It would appear Neil is correct. While the fins indicate this to be an A-wing http://www.blueharvest.net/images/scheme/sch-awing.jpg shows there is no room for an R2 unit on that model. So not only is the car a kludge, the owner kludge together two separate models into a functional homage.
Which is called an Ugly. Click my name for details.
Must be in the Road Squadron. Google it.
“Road Leader, standing by..”
“We will regroup later, first I need to grab more milk”
You mean you need to make a blue milk run, right?
Once upon a time…..
In a galaxy far, far away…..
Not sure if it’s science fiction, or fairy tale fiction ?!?!?
Kind of takes the term “flapping in the breeze” to a whole new level, doesn’ t it?
This is obviously for the Star Wars/Ghostbusters crossover sequel.
Han Solo (on Princess Leia): “So? She’s a dog.”
When there’s something strange on Tatooine, who you gonna call? The Rebellion!
I ain’t afraid of no Sith!
Pure win.
While the little fins make it look like an A-Wing, there’s no R2-unit slot in an A-Wing.
I’m guess the back is filled with figures from his Toys R Us run, and lego. Oh, and tissues.
A Jedi uses the wagon for knowledge and defense, never for tissues.
I don’t think you understood the implied reference of tissues. Either that or I thought wrong.
Personally, I am really trying to ignore the implied tissue reference, but all I can seem to do is think of Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog talking to Star Wars geeks:
“Have you ever talked to a woman without having to give your credit card number?”
[at a Star Wars-themed wedding]: “The groom has kissed the bride, after years of practicing on his sister…”
[to a pregnant woman about to give birth to “a little Jedi”]: “That will be the last time he ever sees female genitalia.”
He cut off R2′s head! — I thought only 3PO had that problem.
Honestly I think some one spent too many years playing Gearhead garage
You don’t need to see his license and proof of insurance.
This isn’t the pot you’re looking for.
Move along.
“Use the parking brake, Luke.”
If it was a 1980 toyota celica it would be my freakin’ dream car. On a side note that looks like something Han Solo would drive. Tee Hee.
Trust me- when it comes to date night, this guy is solo.
Google Street View in stealth mode?
Indeed, it doth have a large mast upon it. Or something.
Search your feelings Luke you know it to be true.
I am your father…
…s station wagon.
So after beating the sith Luke found himself with out enemies and without a job, as it often happens fame comes with temptation, Luke turned to alcohol and then meth, he tried to sell R2D2 but no one wanted to buy an automatic trash can.

Luke Skywalker The E True Hollywood Story
I always told Luke “… you can always come smuggle some stuff with me, it’ll be easy money to help you out.” I never thought he would have actually try the stuff. I just feel somehow some chick named “Meg” is responsible.
This is the fuel-economy version of the panel van.
Same great children per vehicle capacity at an extra 15 miles per gallon highway / 17 mpg school-zone.
Luxury versions include replicas of Star Wars bots to draw in more – uh – tourists.
So… If this thing gets stuck, he has to call Yoda’s Towing Service. Yoda’s Towing Service, “Do or Do Not, you don’t need to try!”
Try not. Kludge…or kludge not. There is no try.
I can’t believe you left the GPS at home! You want to call it a targeting computer? Go right ahead! It still doesn’t change the fact that you have no idea where we are, do you? We’d have a better chance of finding Dagobah with your screwed up sense of direction than getting to this Star Wars convention! *tsk* This slave costume is chafing me! Don’t expect to be seeing it in the bedroom anytime soon, mister!
Because the only thing more awkward than driving around dressed as Luke Skywalker with your date dressed as his sister is driving around dressed as Luke Skywalker with your date dressed as his sister while lost in a space-pimped ’93 Mercury Tracer.
“Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ver created, the ability to destroy planets is insignificant compared to the power of the Fail.”
ROFLMAO
Out…..Freakin’………STANDING comment!!!!!!
FTW!!
“May the Fail be with you, always.”
I am reminded of a ‘Weird’ Al Yankovick song: “Yoda”(Lola) …and it looks like he just got out of Dagobah, where it bubbles all the time, like a giant carbonated soda. S O D A soda.
I dont think they should have paid 2000 to luke for this…
“The Fail is strong with this one…”
I believe this is the long lost offspring of a B17 and a Morris Minor. After their tryst behind the officers club, he never saw her again…
Ogre says “NNNEERRRDDS!”
the Driver must say ” weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee”
This isn’t kludge, it’s rampant geek fanboyism on the way to a convention. I am imagining the whistles and beeping (he’d have to have a sound card for R2, right?). DO WANT!!!
Now if they’d just stuck some solar panels on those errrr…fins(?), that would be “there i fixed it worthy”
googling the earth…
Somewhere far, far away, Harrison Ford just threw up.
