In case you are not aware, there is a big comic-book convention going on in San Diego known as Comic-con. It is a huge gathering for almost everything comic-book related, and for some reason, all the movies and TV related things show up as well. ThinkGeek is having a special today on something Star Wars related, the R2-D9.

So what is the R2-D9? I have no idea. Everyone’s heard of R2-D2, and I’m pretty certain there was an R4 in the prequels. If R2-D9 is based on any character from the Star Wars movies, I sure don’t remember him…it.

At least the R2-D9 can do something really creative. Actually, it isn’t really that creative as I have seen a lot of mobile batteries. At least the R2-D9 can do it in a Star Wars manner as it looks like an astromech droid and will charge two USB devices with 2.1 Amps.

It fits perfectly in a cupholder, and you can pretend that you are some Rebel pilot or something. Yeah, that is pretty geeky, but it is available on ThinkGeek, with a Comic-con special for $39.99.
