The idea of the force band came from you — yes, you. "People were asking us to give it a controller 'cause they didn't want to give up their phone to their kid," said Adam Wilson, cofounder and chief software architect at Sphero. Of course, if you're anything remotely of a Star Wars fan, you know the Force flows through someone; you can't just slap on a bracelet and have it. So Sphero needed the band to "match something from the universe of Episode 7" and that actually interacted with BB-8. "So it left us with two possible characters: Rey wears zero bands on her arms so it needed to be something that Poe would wear," said Wilson. The result is a design and color scheme inspired by the best pilot in the resistance. If you don't have a BB-8 droid yet, you can buy the "Battle-Worn" version, which matches how BB-8 looks in the movie.
