This spring, visitors to Disney Parks in Florida and California will be able to pick up an exclusive new Hasbro astromech R2 unit, decked out in classic Mickey Mouse colors and ears! The new astromech, R2-MK, recently made a quick stop at Skywalker Ranch before heading to Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California, and posed for this snap!

Here's the announcement from Disney:

"The creative "Forces" at Disney and Lucasfilm are proud to announce an all-new character coming to the Disney Parks in April 2010. Every Jedi needs his own astromech droid, and Jedi Mickey is no exception. This spring we will be introducing Jedi Mickey's own droid, R2-MK.

"This new character is exclusive to the Disney Parks, and he will be available at both Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California. It will come packed as a Hasbro action figure 2-pack along with Jedi Mickey and will retail for $18.95."

So now Mickey gets his own droid. Do you think the droid might become a figure in the parade for SWW? While only a small toy now, it could mean the beginning of Disnefied Star Wars characters...

It is possible. This thing is not much more than a repainted R2 unit with a set of mouse ears. They already have at least one full scale R/C R2-D2 and I see no reason why they can't add another.

That is because I detest any fanboyism. I love Star Wars, WDW and my PC more than most but I will never descend into the depths of myopia that is being a fanboy. I have told way to many people that if they ever hear the words "That is not cannon!", "Walt would not have done that!" or "All Mac's suck!" come from my mouth that they have permission to put a bullet in my brain on the spot.:lol:
