Let's face it, Best Buy has hit a home run when it comes to must have Star Wars memorabilia. This weekend we had such a fun time at Best Buy for Force Friday II Weekend. The droids were super easy to use and fun to play with. My daughter loved the authentic movie sounding noises from the drones and droids. Any or all of these will make great gifts.

Here is what we played with:

Sphero – R2-D2 App-Enabled Droid

R2-D2™ is an astromech droid from a galaxy far, far away in this Sphero – R2-D2™ App-Enabled Droid™ – White/Blue…. Control your droid with your smart device or keep Artoo in top shape with augmented reality training. Artoo’s signature front and rear LED lights are fully functional, and an integrated speaker means the beeps and boops come right from R2-D2 itself. Watch Artoo interact with other Star Wars™ App-enabled Droids by Sphero, and view films from the Star Wars saga with R2-D2 reacting by your side. This iconic droid has been brought to life like never before.

Sphero – BB-9E App-Enabled Droid

The Sphero – BB-9E App-Enabled Droid is a menacing astromech droid of the First Order. Control it with your smart device and keep it rolling optimally with the augmented reality Droid Trainer. Watch BB-9E interact with other Star Wars™ App-enabled Droids by Sphero, and view films from the Star Wars saga with BB-9E by your side. This is not the droid you’re looking for… it’s the droid that’s looking for you.

Propel – T-65 X-Wing Starfighter Quadrocopter

Propel – TIE Advanced X1 Quadrocopter

Protect the galaxy – or just the playroom – with this handcrafted Star Wars TIE Advanced battling quadcopter, the Propel – TIE Advanced X1 Quadrocopter with Remote Controller – Gray. A battery-powered Empire controller lets you catapult this device through the air at speeds of up to 35 mph.
