R2-D2 and C-3PO on Sesame Street in 1979

This is a strange video of R2-D2 and C-3PO on Sesame Street in 1979. It’s cute, nostalgic and just plain weird. Man, the 1970s had some strange stuff going on. Basically, in this little comedy sketch, R2 is in love. He tells 3PO, who asks who it is and what she looks like.

R2 is shy and doesn’t want to tell, but eventually he introduces 3PO to his new love. I won’t spoil it for you. I’ll just say that love can be a cruel mistress. Poor R2. He must have a bad motivator unit to be so confused. Of course, maybe he was just messing with 3PO.
