R2-D2 Warms Hearts, Blows Minds at Hospital

July 29th, 2010 by: Lambert Varias


Paul Bussiere spent five years building a replica of everyone’s bleeping astromech, and you know what he does with it? He shows the droid to patients at a hospital to cheer them up. The Force is insanely strong in this one.

Morning Rush has more details:

You can tell that the kid with the cap has just had his brains obliterated by exposure to the awesome droid. “That’s just. I don’t know. It’s amazing. To me.” A tip of the hat to you Mr. Bussiere.
