This year's Amazon.com Prime Day megasale gives you the chance to own two of the most popular droids in science fiction history — R2-D2 and BB-9E.

At almost 60% off of the original price, totaling $43.98, the R2-D2 bot has the same movements as seen in the film, and can be given commands through the app. The droid will also sit by your side as you watch the films that made up the Star Wars saga and react with you.
