The breakout droid star from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is in for quite an adventure in the upcoming sequel, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." The company worked with Disney, owner of the "Star Wars" franchise, to develop a mini toy version that realistically brings the movie character to life. Like the BB-8 toy, BB-9E is also a 4.4-inch app-controlled robot.
