'Star Wars' Bot R2-D2 Falls for a Hottie Mailbox in 'Artoo in Love' (Video)

R2-D2 is in love, you guys — but before the “Star Wars” robot can lasso the moon for his new mailbox boo with a bow, he must win her over first.

In “Artoo in Love,” a short film uploaded to YouTube by user Evan Atherton, the droid tries a picnic, he offers flowers, he attempts sketching and even breaks out the wine — but the postal receptacle will not budge.

R2 defended his crush when some jerk tried to mail parcels, but even still, C-3PO’s BFF is eventually pushed out by a black version of himself. (That’s presumably an evil thing, not a race thing, by the way.)

Cue a ton of soul searching by the bot. That is, of course, presuming droids have souls.

Depressed, the alien creation rolls around aimlessly in a classic rom-com montage. The short has a happy ending though, when the tin can spots a pretty pink Artoo unit. The match is love at first beep. Or perhaps it’s first blip.

In real movie news, “Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens” rolls into theaters Dec. 18.

Tom Cruise earned his action star status in "Top Gun," so it's natural that he got his pilot's license in 1994 (even though, in real life the 5'7" actor is too short to be a Navy pilot).
