GL HERO SHIMA Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Star Wars. The franchise is one of the most famous of all time — the original 1977 film is up there with Gone With the Wind as the most beloved 20th century flick. Unlike Gone With the Wind, the futuristic Star Wars franchise lends itself incredibly well to branded tech gadgets. And also (sadly?) unlike Gone With the Wind, it has its official eighth episode debuting in theaters in just a few weeks. Which means that holiday gift shoppers and superfans alike would love to know which Star Wars gadgets are worth pulling out their credit card for. Here's our list of the best Star Wars gadgets and gear about which, frankly, we do give a damn. We'd be remiss not to feature Sphero's ground-breaking spherical robot tech front and center in this list: The startup — which TechCo featured way back in 2011 and most recently caught up with last year — just happened to be positioned perfectly to capitalize on Star Wars fans' love for the adorable whistling robot BB-8 in 2015's The Force Awakens. They produced a functioning toy version of the astromech droid, which sold out in 24 hours. This year, The Last Jedi will feature a new evil-twin-esque droid, BB-9E, which works for the other team. Naturally, Sphero is here to deliver another iOS & Android compatible app-controlled roly-poly robot. The 3.5-inch-high bot runs for an hour on one charge and has a 100-foot Bluetooth radius. https://tech.co/news/gift-guide-star-wars-gadgets-gear-2017-12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
