Piaggio turned its cute follow robot into a Star Wars droid

Most people just don't have thousands of dollars to spend on a cute follow bot — but the calculation may be different for Star Wars fans. So it's not a huge surprise to see Piaggio Fast Forward debut a special Star Wars edition robot: the G1T4-M1N1. It's basically just a $2,875 version of the Gitamini (which now sells for $2,475) with Star Wars decals and sound effects. But like a true Star Wars droid, it's more talkative than its older sibling.
