R2-D2's Secret Cameo in Star Trek

By Johnny Cat in Movies & SciFi on Nov 25, 2009 at 7:42 pm


500x_r2d2_star-trekGizmodo broke the news, and despite the throng of doubters crying, “Photoshopped!”, ILM has confirmed that Artoo can definitely be seen floating through space as the Romulan ship attacks Vulcan (Star Trek 2009).  From ScienceFictionStuff:

*Update, some people online are saying that this image is Photoshoped but I want to help prove that it is not. The best way to do this I have found is to play your copy of ‘Star trek’ with Media Player Classic and use the amazing frame advance feature to get the still… that’s how I done it.

    If you watch the director's commentary they even tell you when to pause to see what ILM put into the scene.

    If you guys wanted a Dr. Who reference, wouldn't the TARDIS have been better. Just passing through. :p
