R2-D2 Hidden Somewhere In New Star Trek Movie

Hidden somewhere behind the 9,000 lens flares in the new Star Trek movie is R2-D2. Where? Nobody knows, but if you can spot him, you could win some kind of prop from the movie. This (probably) isn’t heralding the Trek/Wars crossover that lonely fan fiction authors are desperate for… Star Trek director J.J. Abrams obviously just wanted to pay homage to what is the best sci-fi movie franchise ever. Aaaaaand I’m going to start running away now.

If you think you spotted Artoo, describe the place and email it to facebook@paramount.com with “STAR TREK Easter Egg Sweepstakes” in the subject line.
