Do you love BB-8? Then you’ll love this desk fan that looks just like the adorable little droid. He’s still got his wobbly little head, but his body has been replaced with an orange-bladed fan. The rotund droid plugs into any spare USB port for power, and possibly to steal the plans for the Death Star if you’re keeping those on your laptop.

Why serve your sandwich on ordinary bread, when it can look like Darth Vader instead? Hey, I made an unintentional rhyme. Thanks to the guys at Japanese geek toy company Kotobukiya, we now have some fun Star Wars sandwich shapers! Simply stick your ordinary bread and fillings between the plates of these sandwich molds, press them together, and you’ll get a delicious Star Wars sandwich in a pouch.

We may not be able to have droids in our daily lives, but at least they can still help us thanks to gadgets like this BB-8 wall charger. Yes, this droid is at your service when plugged into any US standard outlet. Not only does this wall charger look like BB-8, it also charges two devices at once.

Have a refreshing cup of coffee using your favorite droid as a vessel. This mug modeled after BB-8 is the mug that the First Order has been searching for. Keep it safe and filled up with your favorite drink. The BB-8 mug holds up to 18 oz, and the heat from your beverage makes BB-8 reveal his control panel.

BB-8 the little rolling droid from Star Wars: The Force Awakens has proven to be very popular. He’s no R2-D2 in my mind, but he is cool nonetheless. We have seen plenty of BB-8 themed stuff since the flick hit theaters like that cool BB-8 tea set and the BB-8 waffle iron. 

It’s that time of year where geeky artists everywhere turn pumpkins into characters from their favorite things. If ever there was a droid that was meant to be in pumpkin form, BB-8 is it, with it’s round body and head.

I like Star Wars, and I like tasty breakfast treats, so the BB-8 Waffle Maker sounds like the perfect product to me. It’s just like other waffle makers, only instead of being round with little cubbies to hold syrup, this one makes waffles that look like BB-8 from The Force Awakens. It has non-stick cooking plates on both sides and an on/off switch so you can just leave it plugged in and ready to cook in case of a waffle emergency.

BB-8 is a fan favorite, loved every bit as much as R2-D2. So you might have noticed fans creating all kinds of BB-8 goodies over the last year. Now here he is as a fire pit.

Some droids fix starships, others work in medical facilities or carry the Empire’s mail. Still others live to serve in the kitchen, like this BB-8 tea set. At last you can have BB-8 serve you a steaming hot cup of tea.

BB-8 is everywhere. He is the true star of The Force Awakens. The latest merch to feature a likeness of the lovable droid is this talking BB-8 that’s designed to live in your refrigerator. This little guy can detect the refrigerator’s door opening, and brings the droid to life with more than 20 pre-loaded audio files.

Last year, console modder Ed Zarick showed off the aesthetic side of his customizing skills with an R2-D2-themed PS4 laptop. Now he’s back with another beautiful one-off, this time based on the new droid on the block. This Xbook One is the same as Ed’s made-to-order Xbox One laptops, except its case has BB-8’s white, orange and silver patterns as well as LEDs on its lid.

I already thought that Sphero BB-8 toy was pretty awesome. I even had a hex put on our fearless leader when he refused to rig the drawing so I could win the toy a few months back.

If you don’t find this little girl to be the cutest cosplay you have ever seen, you are clearly a hard hearted, sinister, evil SOB. This is one of the most glorious BB-8 costumes I have seen.

We’ve seen a couple of cool LEGO BB-8 models, but this LEGO Ideas proposal by Mark “mjsmiley” Smiley and James “artbot138” Garrett is significant because it can actually roll while its head stays upright, all using commercially available LEGO parts. While the droid’s body may not look like a LEGO part at first glance, it’s actually a model of the planet Tatooine, which is part of LEGO set #9675 along with Sebulbba’s Podracer.

No Jedi mind trick here. This is the droid you are looking for. This cool BB-8 USB charger has two charging ports which provide 2.1 Amps each. That’s enough to charge two tablets simultaneously, though it won’t light cigarettes. This little guy will plug into your 12V vehicle power adapter and charge all of your devices while on the go.

We’ve seen a BB-8 made by a young maker on a budget. Now let’s check out a more sophisticated replica. This one was made by Ed Zarick, who we love for his awesome console laptop mods. Ed printed the BB-8’s head using guides and tips from the BB-8 Builders Club and Astromech.net.
