Sci-Fi Droid Knapsacks

The BB-8 Back Buddy Backpack is Ready for an Adventure or Heading to Class

The debate between whether your favorite droid from the Star Wars franchise is R2-D2 or C-3PO has gotten a whole lot more confusing with the introduction of BB-8, but if you're already team BB-8 without even seeing the film yet then the BB-8 Back Buddy knapsack is going to be for you. Ideal for a variety of adventures that could include heading to school or heading out with friends, the BB-8 Back Buddy knapsack unzips in the middle where the head meets the body, which might make it more fashionable than functional when in use.

The awesome design of the BB-8 Back Buddy knapsack make it a great option for kids that want to proudly wear their Star Wars fandom on their back.
