A new interactive remote control “Star Wars” droid has arrived at Walt Disney World: R2-W50. We found this 50th anniversary-inspired droid at World of Disney in Disney Springs.
R2-W50 – $114.99
This droid has the same Bluetooth capabilities as other interactive droids available from Droid Depot in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
R2-W50 is also compatible with Droid Depot personality chips and other accessories.
It is shaped like a standard R2 unit, like R2-D2, but is a sparkly white with royal blue and gold accents.
These are, of course, the colors of “The World’s Most Magical Celebration.”
R2-W50 includes a blue and gold remote control.
Here R2-W50’s backstory, according to the box:
R2-W50 is unlike any other Astromech Droid in the Galaxy. As a loyal Astromech, R2-W50 lives on Naboo serving different members of the Royal house. His droid build is similar to other classic R-series droid, but features an iridescent coloration on its body.
The droid makes various light and sound effects.
It comes in 50th anniversary packaging.
