Are you just looking for love and it seems to be hiding from you? This Viper probe droid knows how you feel. Chris Gerringer created eight prints illustrating the frustrations of mechanical love for the droids from Star Wars.

Neatoramanaut Johnny Cat has compiled his very own list of 5 worthless droids that ever graced the silver screen.

This one to the left is V.I.N.CENT, from the 1979 sci-fi movie The Black Hole:

4. V.I.N.CENT and B.O.B.
Okay, I’ll admit it. When The Black Hole came out in 1979, I was all over it. I even had the board game. This was mostly due to the effect Star Wars had on my embracing any & all space travel movies to the fullest. But as anyone who’s seen it will probably tell you, this movie SUCKED. These two whirligigs didn’t even impress my young sci-fi starved mind at the time, with their precious laser guns taking out countless other worthless sentry droids. They look like they were designed by a six-year-old with a serious head trauma. Also: Roddy McDowell and Slim Pickens do the voices. Waste.

See if you can add anything to the list: Link
