Sources report that R2-D2 and C-3P0, droids from the Star Wars saga, were arrested in Manchester while trying to sneak into the sold-out Spice Girls Reunion concert. Disguised as Eva Longoria and Victoria Beckham, Artoo and Threepio were initially charged with false impersonation, breaking and entering, and fined £500 for dressing like skanks. Both droids were held overnight in a local prison and made bail the following morning.
Charges were later dropped when the real Victoria Beckham, wowed by the authentic impersonation, asked C-3P0 if he would consider being a stand-in for her children while she continued the Spice Girls tour. No word on whether the offer was accepted or denied by Threepio.
When asked about spending the night in prison, C-3P0 was quoted as saying, "We droids are made to suffer such indignities. It gives my motivators the chills just thinking about it. British prisons are worse than the spice mines of Kessel."
"BeepBeep, gurgle-beep!", added R2-D2.
This was the first offense for both droids and hopefully it will never happen again.
