Star Wars fans -- both adults and kids alike -- will have a lot of fun with Hasbro' (HAS)Smart R2-D2, a programmable and interactive toy droid.

You control R2-D2 through an app, allowing it move around and spin its head. It also responds to your voice. Ask R2-D2 "What's up?" and it responds with its iconic character sounds. The app features tutorials about how to program R2-D2 to move, dance and play sounds.

Smart R2-D2 ($100) also responds to hand movements. Clap or wave your hands and watch it become alert and move.
