Bring the Force Into Your Living Room
Bandai America and Lucasfilm have joined forces to give you a new way to keep your favourite astromech – R2‑D2 – in your pocket (or on the couch). It’s a Tamagotchi‑style virtual pet that lives inside an egg‑shaped, real‑world droid.
Why You Can’t Resist This Droid‑In‑a‑Droid
- Playtime 24/7 – Toss, tap, or chase the little one around. It’s never tired!
- Full Grooming Service – Clean it, feed it, and watch it “react” through the app, just like that tiny robot on the belts of the Jedi.
- Instant “Droid-ception” – A pet inside a pet? A mind‑blowing trip into the galaxy’s geekiest paradox.
Two Looks to Choose From
Both fronts of the egg are designed to mimic the real R2‑D2, but which one knows most of your preferences?
- Translucent Blue Shell – So cool, it feels like a space‑blue disco.
- Classic White Shell – Plain, shiny, and the exact color we all know from the beloved droid.
Grabbing Your Own Astro‑Pet
When you unwrap it, you’ll discover that R2‑D2 truly belongs to you: it trades no heart for its tiny wireless ID, but it does steal your attention forever.
Upload the companion app, give your little droid a name, and start a weekfull of play, laughs, and endless call‑backs that only a real Star Wars icon can deliver.
Star Wars Meets Tamagotchi: An Unexpected Digital Showdown
It turns out Bandai’s got a whole lineup of viral collabs lined up, but Star Wars just snagged the limelight in a way that’s bound to make your inner geek jump.
Why This One’s a Grab‑and‑Play New‑Year Treat
- R2‑D2 Tamagotchi launches in December, and it’s already available for preorder.
- No-star‑struck—except with A New Hope revivals. Think Dejarik holographic chess versus Chewbacca.
- R2‑D2’s entourage includes Sandtroopers, Yoda, and the ever-calm C‑3PO.
- Nine mini‑games haul a lot of mad science and space‑fantasy fun.
Beyond Lightweight Digital: Tamagotchi Gets a Reboot
Yesterday’s “Tamagotchi is returning as a smartwatch” may turn your favor for this new side‑kick into a full‑scale celebration.
Catch the Buzz
It’s all the buzz, with hello Kitty, Demon Slayer and Evangelion in the mix. Yet Star Wars feels like that super‑sci‑fi that never gets tired. It’s “first time”, sure, but who could resist an iconic robot with a mem‑tamer? Get it pre‑ordered…if you’re ready for a galaxy far, far away, but in your pocket.
