Louis JohnsonStaff Writer

Meet R2-Q5 by Sphero, available only at Best Buy.

With a sleek, space-cold black exterior and gold accents, this menacing spy droid turns heads as the evil twin of the humbly decorated R2-D2.

Made by Sphero, R2-Q5 follows a line of interactive and programmable connected toys controlled by your smart phone or tablet.

On the heels of Force Friday II and ahead of the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi film, Sphero aims to once again bring droid technology from the Star Wars films to a galaxy much closer to you. Actually, make that a Best Buy near you.

What Can R2-Q5 Do?

Sphero's new droid comes with several fun features and capabilities. Here are a few of them:

• The Sphero app ensures that the droid can be programmed on your phone or tablet for precise control over its movements. Or it can be left alone to patrol on its own.
• R2-Q5 can interact with other Sphero app-enabled droids, making for intriguing communication within the collection.
• An internal speaker brings the droid's sounds to life.
• Watch Star Wars films with R2-Q5 by your side and watch as it interacts with the movie.
