    Hi,

    I'm not sure I'm in the right forum...

    So I apologize... I wish I got more involved with "discussion forums" or bulletin boards years ago...
    and made some good friends with common interests

    I am 51 and first saw Star Wars in drive-in 1977 and have been a big fan for decades...

    I do "believe" in The Force... a "string theory" like "energy force" that exists in all living things... as well...

    but I'm really a scientist...computer and robotics...

    I have a built a real droid.. like R2-D2

    But R2-D2 and the droids were inspired by the "worker drones (droids) of the movie Silent Running by Douglas Trumball and John Dykstra..

    I have built a "working prototype" and is now on display on Instagram and Twitter..


    FUN FACT:

    George Lucas credited the movie Silent Running for being the inspiration for R2-D2 in interviews years ago...


    ANNOUNCIING:

    Duey The Droid - Walker

    http://www.instagram.com/duey.the.droid/ or @duey.the.droid

    With still and video...


    YOUTUBE:

    HELP:

    If you know a better thread forum and/or other forums.. Please let me know... I'm really new to the bulletin board world... and wished I got more involved in the Star Wars - Star Trek - Star Gate - X-Files communities...

    Thanks in Advance,

    Regards,

    Darth Mick
    (Not A Sith).

    Welcome to the Cantina, Mick!

    I'll admit it; since this has nothing to do with The Force Awakens, this probably wasn't the best forum to choose from. But one of the staff members will easily move it. And it's great to see someone keeping the memory of Dewey alive. I haven't seen that movie, but am definitely aware of its impact on Star Wars... at least as far as R2 is concerned.

    And as far as getting involved with online communities about shared passions, it's never too late to start! In fact, you're already here. :)
