How to Speak Droid with R2-D2: A Communication Manual

by Urma Droid, Jake (Illustrator)

Following the success of How to Speak Wookiee comes this essential manual for interacting with droid units in various situations. Droids are made to be reliable, helpful, and daring, but they can be frustratingly stubborn. This convenient sound guide will help new droid users bypass that malfunction and utilize them to their full capacity. Featuring helpful scenarios—like convincing a droid to play back full messages, serve beverages and hors d'oeuvres at events, diagnose and repair mechanical issues on an X-wing, or just walk the dog—plus a sound module of 10 different droid phrases demonstrated by R2-D2, this handbook is a necessity for any new droid user.

I'm a Star Wars nerd.
My daughter can't get enough of this book.
Most of the sounds from this book are on my phone as either a text or email notification.
Enough said.

This book was amusing and anything with R2 is cool with me.

Could be clever or funny. Is neither.

Having read How to Speak Wookiee: A Manual for Intergalactic Communication earlier this month I was very happy to see this companion book. It is far better than the previous title, as the humorous phrases and situations to which they (theoretically) apply are much more enjoyable. The Death Star's astromech IT dept is something I could read a whole book of one its own!

Fun book to read with my son, though he is almost capable of reading it himself. The pictures he found funny, but some of the sayings will be more humorous for the adult. However, he did enjoy the witty summaries and, of course, pushing the buttons to make R2D2 "talk."

I was in the store "Once upon a child" and I saw this book and had to have it and read it as I am a BIG Star Wars fan and LOVE R2D2! It was a cute little book and I will think I might keep this book so if I have a child one day that I can read it to.

A gag Christmas gift from my brother-in-law. It has an integrated sound-player that plays various phrases from R2-D2's vocabulary. I drove the family crazy...
