We Want One Of These!

If Empire Online only gets one present this year and there's any sense of rightfulness in the universe, then it will be the Interactive R2-D2. One of the coolest things we've ever seen, this marvel of modern technology lets you take home your very own astromech droid, almost indistinguishable from the real thing - except much smaller. Going down an absolute storm at the Toy Fair 2002, this masterful piece of Star Wars merchandise is a mere 18 inches high - so don't expect to see Kenny Baker climbing out of it - but makes up in personality what it lacks in stature. With voice recognition technology, sonar navigation and infra red scanning, you can have this little Artoo unit charging around your living room. And, just in case he wasn't already top of your list of things to buy, he dances too!
