Verizon has put up a web site for the R2-D2 limited edition of the Motorola DROID 2 . The site lets you leave your e-mail address to receive updates on the handset and you can also try to unlock special Star Wars content on the site by following R2-D2 at the DroidLanding Twitter site. To get to the web page, simply click on the source link.
The special "Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Special Edition Phone" will be available starting September 30th for online sales only. The limited edition model will ship with special Star Wars sounds, wallpaper, video, artwork and movie stills. While we have no idea what the device will look like, we earlier reported that the phone would show a picture of R2-D2 on the back. The tie in with the storied motion picture franchise is not surprising considering that Verizon has licensed the use of the name "DROID" from Lucasfilm Ltd. Perhaps those of you who have been trained very well can perform a Jedi mind trick and get Big Red to mail you one of these beauties.
