Star Wars fans are being encouraged by Argos to snap up one of this year’s top toys before the launch of the Star Wars: The Last Jedi film in December, to avoid disappointment. The Jedi Training Remote (by UK based Wow! Stuff), a miniature droid that resembles a Jedi training device featured in the films, has been hailed as the Star Wars toy of the season by buyers at Argos.
The retailer is anticipating further sales when Star Wars: The Last Jedi is released in the UK on December 14th and in the run-up to Christmas, as parents and fans of the franchise flock to get their hands on the latest Star Wars gadget.
Lindsay Rogers, Buyer for Gifts at Argos, said: “We’ve seen how popular the Jedi Training Remote is – a flying gadget that aspiring Jedi use for training. It’s one of those tech items that comes along every couple of years that takes everyone by surprise and it’s been a big hit ahead of the movie launch this season.”
The Jedi Training Remote, made by the award-winning British inventors at Wow! Stuff, encourages fans to use the, ‘power of the Force’ to control the propeller-powered droid and train for combat, just like a Jedi Knight.
Since its launch last month, Jedi Training Remote sales have been off to a flying start. The droid has even been listed by The Independent as a ‘top Star Wars: The Last Jedi product’.
Based on the original device seen in Star Wars: A New Hope, Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the Jedi Training Remote is for both younglings and established Jedi. The device darts up and down, while firing simulated ‘sting beams’ at its opponent, making it a great combat training aid.
Suitable for adults and children aged 8 years and over, the Jedi Training Remote has an RRP of £29.99 and is available from Argos and all good retailers.
