Frustrating but cheap

Like most of Sphero's licensed Star Wars products, this is another cool idea that is at best gimmicky and at worst a failure in execution. It comes close, but ultimately is cumbersome, weak, erratic, and unpredictable. Like Sphero's BB-8 and R2-D2 app-connected "droids," it's another mildly amusing novelty that's good for maybe two plays before it's put away in a drawer and forgotten. As an inert Star Wars costume accessory, however, it's GREAT. Thank goodness it was only $13.
