Looks like we won’t be limited to just blurrycam shots of Verizon’s R2D2 edition of their newly launched Motorola Droid 2.*While the phone itself isn’t pictured here (just a shot of it in front of an R2D2 silhouette)*something really awesome is: an authentic R2D2 figurine. It would be sweet of Verizon included one of these [...]

Because it's the Motorola Droid, and R2-D2 is a Droid, and Motorola has to pay Lucasfilms to use the name anyways.

+1 I thought this would have been more "special" for an SE. Seems lame if you ask me!
