Lego has expended its uber popular Star Wars range with the launch of the Star Wars Boost Droid Commander Set (£179.99). The interactive build blends physical and digital play, allowing fans from a galaxy far, far away to re-create scenes from the iconic franchise at home. Comprised of 1,177 pieces, the Droid Commander set bundles together R2-DR, the Gonk Droid, and the Mouse Droid, all of which can be controlled via drag-and-drop coding functions using the downloadable Lego Boost Star Wars app. It would appear these are the droids you’re looking for.

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
