Of all the things you could do with an R2-D2 Astromech Droid, hacking it shouldn’t be that high up in the list. That is, unless you can pull something like this off.

Head over to Instructables to see a tutorial on how to create the infrastructure that will allow you to control the droid. Or stay with us and see more Star Wars stories at Star Wars’ 35th Anniversary: The Force Is Strong With This One and USB Flash Drive R2D2 Cufflinks.
