I can see a limited market for this, but I think the price tag is going to keep it out of most homes.

$130 so I can make the ball go up and down?

Granted the tech is cool and will appeal to a niche that just loves cool tech….and pretending they have Jedi powers.

However, I do think we’ll see more toys in the future using the same/similiar technology, and those will eventually make it out into the wider market.

Let’s not forget they have a cartoon ready-made to hock this, and it’s coming out in time for next Christmas… After said cartoon starts airing new episodes in the fall. I wouldn’t entirely discount it.

Hell, I wouldn’t put it past them to stick the thing in an Ahsoka origin episode or something.

If they put this thing in the show, I’m done watching it.

I admit it’s a long shot – I’ve heard that S2 is already in the can, anyway. But clearly that cartoon sells stuff. One way or another, you’re going to see a lot of commercials.

Why are all the cool things marketing above $100 these days?

I would LOVE to have one, but I’m not paying that much. Probably $50 would be my limit.
