The force is strongest on this one — And it will surely awaken you…
When reality and the Sci-fi world connives, something really, really awesome can be created. Well in this case, it is not just any Sci-fi movie for that matter. It is indeed a legendary one — the Star Wars.
The Star Wars movies encompass all generations. Besides the great story unfolding, the films have been constantly advanced in terms of its technology. Star Wars always lives up to its Sci-fi genre. On its latest and most awaited franchise in 2015, it did not fail to astound us once more. The years are worth the wait — introducing BB-8!
Aside from the big story and the great characters, Star Wars: The Force Awakens also added an adorable droid that is (mind you), indeed a robot in the movie. According to the producers, it would be a lot easier to make BB-8 just a part of the effects. But they thought that the franchise’s fans and even robotics enthusiasts will love it better if it is a real BB-8 robot (literally) rolling on screen. As a matter of fact, a real-life BB-8 rolled out of the stage during the Star Wars Celebration Convention in California together with directors J.J. Abrams and producer Kathleen Kennedy.
But that’s not just all for you Star Wars fanatics out there! You can now get your very own BB-8 tiny version and control it using your smartphone. From the makers of another famous robot Sphero, this true-to-life BB-8 is indeed one of a kind. It is only 10cm-tall but has artificial intelligence unlike most robots out in the market. It is one of the best Star Wars collector’s item ever invented!
