R2-D2’s Star Trek Cameo Revealed

Posted on Monday, November 16th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

r2d2 in star trek

As you probably know by now, the George Lucas-owned effects company ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) likes to insert R2-D2 into the background of some of the films they create visual effects for. Earlier this year we posted a photo of our favorite little droid’s cameo appearance in the climatic scene of Tranformers: Revenge of the Fallen. With JJ Abrams’ Star Trek hitting DVD/Blu-ray this week, Gizmodo has found the hidden cameo appearance of our favorite little droid from a galaxy far, far away.

    good old R2-D2
  • Haha! As much as I love "Star Trek" (TV shows, not the travesty that this film was), I LOVE that ILM did this to their sci-fi rivals!
  • Dude
    Travesty?
  • Now, how will i be able to watch that scene again with a serious face?
  • iec
    wait...seriously? that's really stupid.
  • Fellini
    I watched this scene now for seven times. R2 is not there.
  • Unfortunately, he is there. If you are not convinced I can provide my own screenshot. Or just go to 47.39 into the film.
  • Mike
    47:40 - 47:41
  • I found it.. he's there- man they were sneaky about it too..
    Thanks,

    But that's not right. It's like putting a Spider-Man reference in a Batman film.

    Someone needs to beat the following mantra into George Lucas' head: "Just because you could, doesn't mean you should."
  • Jorge Lucas
