This product is a robot operated by infrared rays using the attached "lightsaber type" controller. In addition to the basic movements of forward and back turns, it seems that the characteristics of the actual character are reproduced, such as shaking the head when running and turning on the red LED on the head when moving forward. In addition, the electronic sounds emitted by R2-D2 also randomly flow from the controller (6 types in total).
