For the past 38 years Star Wars’ R2-D2 was the most lovable robot but this might change with the new BB-8 droid. Yo ucan now play with it and what is the most amazing thing is that it behaves just like the one in the new Star Wars movie The Force Awakens. It can roll and balance all by itself, his head moves and jumps around just like in the movie, only this time it is real. Don’t ask us how they did it, maybe it is magnets and you know no one knows how magnets work! You can control it with app running on your smartphone or tablet or he can autonomously explore your home, perform a series of pre-programmed movements, and even respond to voice commands.

The toy has an internal battery is charged with induction charger so you simply set BB-8 on an included base and it will charge itself. You can even record your message and when looking  through the smartphone r tablet you will see a “hologram”. Of course we all know most of the messages will be “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope”  even though you an record anything you like.
