From the grail diary prop in Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade (via)

As a kid, my parents took me to Disneyland, and we rode Star Tours. (Show of hands if you, too, have childhood memories of something similar). I remember being enamored by R2-D2 - the robot in the ride from the Star Wars franchise.

If you’re not a fan, here’s a quick recap…

In Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, R2-D2 carried the crucial Death Star plans in his "rusty innards," as described by C3P0. The Rebel Alliance fought valiantly, with Luke, Leia, Han Solo, and others risking their lives to prevent the Empire from getting their hands on the plans. The good guys had to keep R2-D2 hidden from the Empire, who relentlessly pursued him. 

R2-D2 was the McGuffin of the story.

"What is a MacGuffin?" I hear you ask.
