This R2D2 Robot Will Fetch You Beers While You Watch Star Wars

— November 3, 2015 — Lifestyle
This Japanese-made R2D2 robot will make sure that Star Wars watchers never have to rise from the couch to get another cold brew.

The R2D2 roving refrigerator has a spinning head and light-up effects. It moves remotely, meaning that it can be summoned when its contents are needed. Offering a generous amount of fridge space, its chilled interior can keep beer and other beverages ice cold. The R2D2 robot fridge is probably only for hard-core Star Wars fans, as it costs $8,000. But for those fans willing to go the extra mile for their Star Wars marathon, it's the ultimate intergalactic accessory.

The Star Wars products being released ahead of the opening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens offer something for every budget, from small and inexpensive stocking stuffers to incredibly high tech appliances and luxury pieces.
