Derby #227: Sci-Fi Kawaii

Wrong Droid

After much back and forth, we just can't run this. The logo is too close to the original and the parody/commentary isn't clear enough to justify the use of it.

Rejected because: After much back and forth, we just can't run this. The logo is too close to the original and the parody/commentary isn't clear enough to justify the use of it.

This is pretty adorable. And even though I'm neither a phone connoisseur nor a Star Wars person, you definitely captured the spirit of the theme. :> Veeery cute.

Re: Wrong Droid


I sure hope this wins. My favorite entry. I don't have a Star Wars shirt despite being a huge Star Wars nut, but this passes my extremely high bar of standards for Star Wars t-shirt designs.

Thanks very, very much. I don't draw Star Wars designs often but I occasionally fall for an idea and have to do it. ^_^

LOL man this derby is going to kill me and my wallet. This is so cute. I really like how the little guys carrying the droid are cartooned.

It's probably too late now, but I have to say, the text forces the joke way too hard. It would be absolutely genius without it.

I agree. I only looked at the thumbnail and laughed and smiled. I saw the text and it kind of ruined it (for me, anyway).

I still voted because it really is a nice and clever design. Good Job!

Nah, the text makes it for me.

I love this shirt so much and really hope it prints. I could take or leave the text, works both ways.

Perfect! If it prints, I want to get a voice button that says 'DROID' when you touch it. Anybody know where I can find them?

Re: Wrong Droid


Pay attention to android phone commercials on TV. In fine print at the end it says "Droid is a registered trademark of Lucasfilm".

This T-Shirt reminded me of that.

Steve was DELICIOUS!

Re: Wrong Droid


Okay, I think the shirt is great. Pointing out this shirt to my dork boyfriend, he says. "What is that? It would have to be storm troopers if they're looking for a droid."

Sigh. He is such a dork.

Sorry, dude.
Maybe if you changed the text to something mocking the Android like "faulty Droid", "Broken Droid", "Slow Droid" etc. the parody would be more apparent. And perhaps you could put x's for eyes, or maybe have a panel popped open on the droid showing internal circuitry.

This blows. Cheer up SG, I'm sure you'll find this gem a home elsewhere.

Re: Wrong Droid


"After much back and forth" is one thing, but this was the *very first* entry posted in this derby, and it took them *this* long to reject it (and therefore give the re-sub enough time to regain the votes)?! Not cool, woot; not cool!

Re: Wrong Droid


Thanks for your commiserations and suggestions, guys.

I've given it another try: Wrong Droid 2.0

The main issue seems to be the likeness to Andy Android, so I've changed that up. I can't make it any clearer that I'm parodying the Android/Lucsasfilm connection and how Jawas capture and trade droids, so I haven't altered the concept. The scene of R2D2 being shocked and taken back to the sandcrawler must be familiar to any SW fan (for the awesome sound effects alone!).
