Indiana Jones vs. The Spherical Droid


(Video Link)

For 2 seconds, the trailer for the new Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens, shows an astromech with a spherical lower body. It quickly rolls across the desert, then disappears from the screen. That droid has been the subject of much fascination in the internet.

What's so exciting to fans is that although this is the first time that the droid has appeared in a Star Wars film, it has already appeared in a George Lucas film. It was in the Indiana Jones film Raiders of the Lost Ark. So it is something of a homage to the founder of Star Wars.

That was just too adorable!!! OMG I want a teeny tiny little tortoise!!
But I think our dogs and cat would munch on it, or the various birds of prey that frequent this area. SIGH.

im not sure how that's really evidence of a tortoise responding to voice. tortoises have very limited hearing. one of my tortoises likes to follow people(and other pets) around the yard but if he doesn't see you, he won't come in your direction. shining a flashlight down into his burrow would sure do the trick.

We have a yellow-eared slider, about four years old, who comes when we call him by name (when he's out of the aquarium walking around on the floor). However, he doesn't really understand gravity yet, so maybe it's a give-and-take.
