When I tested it out, it definitely takes awhile to get used to the motions needed to control BB-8. But you learn that in five minutes and then become super addicted to playing around with BB-8. To me, the Force Band finally makes owning a BB-8 droid worth it. Confession: I totally bought a BB-8 last year and then returned it within five minutes because I didn't want it to just sit in the box forever — and now it won't.
This toy isn't just something that will sit on my nightstand or watch the movie with me, but a toy that's interactive and that lets me live out my Star Wars dreams. I don't know how much I'll use the Force Band in Combat Training or Force Awareness modes, but those two functions make it worth purchasing the Force Band. And hey — we all saw what happened when people's dreams of catching Pokémon in the real world came true with Pokémon Go. It's the same concept at play with the Force Band and one that Star Wars fans have been waiting for a very long time for it to finally happen.
Take a peek ahead to see BB-8 being controlled by the Force Band.
