Star travel, light sabers, energy weapons, lifelike prosthetics, huge death stars, all easy peasy - but make a robot droid that could speak english (even though it could understand english) - that's just crazy talk. Oh wait, they make a bipedal humanoid robot that could speak nine zillion languages (i.e C3PO) but they couldn't find enough space to jam a single language chip into R2D2 (a wheel based robot) - or even a LCD text display - WTF?
