Star Wars 7: Did Iron Man Bizarrely Create C3-PO & R2-D2?
Because that makes total sense.
Uh, just when the you thought that the Marvel Cinematic Universe couldn't get any larger, Boy's Life magazine has dropped a bombshell regarding the apparently unknown origins of loveable Star Wars droids R2-D2 and C-3PO - one that asks fans of both Marvel and Star Wars to accept that, yes, these separate universes are in fact one and the same. That's right: according to a tiny snippet in the latest issue, the worlds of Marvel and Star Wars are due to come together in the most preposterous way imaginable: upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII will reportedly "reveal" (brace yourself) Tony Stark, who we also know as Iron Man, as the creator of R2-D2 and C-3PO. Because that makes sense. Just to clarify that point again in case you thought you misread it: reports from Boy's Life magazine are suggesting that Disney will feature Tony Stark in the new Star Wars movie, and will show him building R2-D2 and C-3PO and, uh, being their creator and stuff, regardless of the fact that that makes absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL. So has has somebody over at Boy's Life gone totally insane? Presumably. Though it's true that Disney own both Star Wars and Marvel now, it's also true that Star Wars and Marvel have no-place co-existing in a shared universe - not to mention the fact that we already know the origins of these droids. How did somebody legitimately report this story? Which is to say, this sounds like complete and utter codswallop to us, because surely Tony Stark building the Star Wars droids is the kind of half-assed storyline that should stay firmly without the realms of fan fiction (such fan fiction probably exists, to be honest). Still, you can read the bizarre excerpt from Boy's Life in the image below...
