We're not sure who asked for this, but R2-D2 Tamagotchi soon available for preorder.
The popular Star Wars character will soon be available as a virtual pet.
Roughly two decades after the device's heyday, Tamagotchi is back with two brand-new R2-D2 editions.
The virtual pet will allow owners to care for and play with their virtual Artoo or else risk the droid getting stolen by Jawas.
The R2-D2 Tamagotchi will come with two games, plus seven more unlockable games.
It's scheduled to release on Nov.

Don't get me wrong, Artoo is arguably the hero of the entire Star Wars saga, not to mention my personal favorite from the franchise.
He deserves any spotlight given to him.
