If that new Star Wars trailer is anything to go on we're in for treat this year – from the mask that really looks like it could belong to Darth Revan to the awesome finish with Han and Chewy things are really looking up but this blog is about that awesome new droid that rolled onto the stage at the Star Wars Celebration Anaheim.

In the video below they talk about finding the company that makes this technology possible and today it's been confirmed that company is Sphero! Famous for their smartphone controlled rolling gadgets the chances of us getting some kind of BB-8 to call our own just got a lot higher!
