    The small man who drove the robot with a big heart has proven to also have a big thirst. Kenny Baker, the now-70-year-old actor who piloted the R2-D2 robot to intergalactic fame, has been convicted of drunk driving.

    Baker was fined $209 and is banned from driving for a year. While contrite about his offense, Baker did say it was an opportunity to hire a female chaffeur, but that might be difficult since he said, "I'd prefer it if she was two foot six inches."

    Baker added, "I did break the law, so I have to be punished." It was not immediately clear if Baker was referring to the courts or the potential hire.

    I always thought R2 was a little tipsy. I mean, "beep boop beep", what the hell is that?

    I can imagine the conversation between him and the officer after being pulled over...

    Officer: Do you know why I pulled you over sir?
    Kenny: Because I'm a Little Drunk?

    :D

    Officer: License and registration please.
    Kenny: (waves hand) These aren't the droids you're looking for.
    Officer: Step out of the car.
