R2-D2 and C-3PO break into a Currys & PC World Megastore (the British version of Best Buy, near as I can tell) for some harmless mischief in this M&C Saatchi commercial. Well, not totally harmless—they break a video-game system and dislodge a flat-screen TV, and R2 ogles a defenseless washing machine. (Plus, they leave some Star Wars fans' pride bruised.) But the droids are a good pop-culture reference to connect with the megastore's bold claim that it's "the greatest electrical store in the galaxy."
