Rolled out as\u00a0a new feature this week in a free update, Sphero\u2019s BB-8 replica Star Wars droid has the ability to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em> along with you and react to what’s happening on the screen. You simply\u00a0pair the\u00a0BB-8 with an Android or iOS mobile device and activate the new “Watch With Me” function in the updated BB-8 mobile app.<\/p>\n

Ideally, you should keep BB-8 on the charging pad so the battery life during the two-hour movie isn’t an issue. In addition, you will need to position BB-8 in a area close enough to hear the action happening on the screen. According to Sphero, BB-8 will react to scenes with a range of emotions including\u00a0excitement, sadness and anger at the events of the film.<\/p>\n

Here’s a video of BB-8 in action while watching the film:<\/p>\n
