That would be cool, but I'm not sure how to do it.  The MindStorms R2 is
too small to fit Kenny Baker ...

Also, how are you planning on doing this?  Are you going to use an RCX
computer instead of the "microscout" the DDK comes with?  It's a very cool
idea, and I can't wait to see how you pull it off.

I'm not sure it'll have a MindStorms brain at all.  The Microscout is next
to useless, and the RCX is too big and too yellow.  Maybe my R2 will be a
tethered droid.
