Video: Remotely Control R2-D2 with a Light Saber

This could very well be the ultimate gift for the over-the-top Star Wars freak. Not only do you get the whimsical appeal of a mobile R2-D2, you get to remotely control the little bot using a light saber. Yes, a lightsaber-guided helper bot. Freaking awesome… too bad it’s not a full-sized replica.

Anyways, this R2-D2 comes with “authentic R2-D2 sounds and the turning head”, as well as that glowing red eye to complete the look. On the unfortunate side of things, the controller is not Bluetooth or anything like that, relying on line-of-sight infrared technology.
