R2-D2 now an electronic pet

Retailing for $29.99 a pop, this remote controlled R2-D2 droid is small enough to fit on your palm comfortable and features authentic R2-D2 sounds, a turning head, and its signature red LED eye. The remote control comes in the form of a lightsaber, and controlling it is a no-brainer since we know Star Wars fans possess an above average intelligence.
