In an interview with Lucasfilm editor Bonnie Burton, our new pals over at the massive Star Wars site Galactic Binder unearthed a gem in fanboy crafting — an adorable crocheted R2-D2 plush toy!

This fan-made Amigurumi R2-D2 doll was first picked up by the official Star Wars blog from a feature at CodeRetard, which contains several photos of the little R2.

This is a one-of-a-kind creation, unfortunately, because I know I want one. Bravo to the craftspeople on this one!

Check out this lovable crochet R2D2 plush toy! This little fellow was a precious birthday gift, made all the more special because it took the efforts of two people to make it, one to crochet, and the other to cut, glue, and sew. Of course, it being R2D2, appealing to the Star Wars geek within also scores it massive points. Artoo stands at a noble 5 inches tall and sports an intricate and faithful reproduction of his markings from the Star Wars movies, including a glass bead eye as a nice finishing touch.
