Star Wars The Last Jedi BB-8 with Trainer

One of the coolest breakout characters of The Force Awakens was the plucky and heroic BB-8, whose simple design, cheery manner and hilarious moments (the little thumbs up gets us every time!)  made him a new icon of the Star Wars universe – a difficult task in a movie already stuffed with iconic characters galore. Now, with the new movie The Last Jedi coming out, BB-8 is about to return and continue helping Rey, Finn, Poe and the Resistance out in their fight against the tyranny of the First Order – and you can own your very own heroic BB unit to help!

This BB-8 replica with Droid Trainer is a sturdy plastic construction, with a host of features that make it perfect for protecting the galaxy. BB-8, as befits a Star Wars droid, has autonomous behaviours, letting him move about, beeping and buzzing his way to success. He can patrol on his own, and even moves while charging, and every one of his movements is authentic to the real BB-8’s motions from the films.

If you fancy some company when watching Star Wars, BB-8 has a “Watch With Me” mode that lets him join in with you (though we’re not sure he’s going to have any particularly gripping insights). Even cooler than that, BB-8 can interact with other Star Wars App-Enabled Droids from Sphero, letting him talk to his compatriots. Presumably in Droidspeak. Presumably not planning the robot uprising. We hope.

Leaving that absolutely terrifying note aside, there’s also the brilliant free iOS and Android app that allows you to take your fun with BB-8 to a whole new level: it allows you to create a holographic simulation that lets you and your trusty droid friend explore the Star Wars galaxy.

With a whole host of features to keep you entertained for a long time (ago, natch), this BB-8 is the perfect companion for any budding X-Wing pilots, Resistance fighters or Jedi Knights.

BB-8 also works brilliantly with the Force Band - if you haven't already got one, check them out!
