The Ultimate R2-D2 College Prank

StarWars.com Team | June 2, 2010

Now THAT’S the droid we’re looking for! Granted, it is hard to miss.

Carleton’s Goodsell Observatory gets turned into R2-D2 by an unknown group of enterprising students — complete with sound effects. All the “decorations” appear to have been draped or taped onto the dome; there was no defacing with spray paint, etc.

    It looks awesome, but can’t really call it a “prank” since no defacing was done. In fact, they made it look BETTER!
