A new app is up on the Microsoft Store with a timely Star Wars flavor.
It allows users to control the cute BB-8 droid toy that is highly popular and will be a Christmas smash.
Unfortunately, the free app (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/bb-8-app-enabled-droid/9nblggh5dhns?tduid=(3dfe4ce38c75916328ab5affd9b50299)(259740)(2542549)(d_wp)()) doesn’t come with the $150 droid. You’ll have to track him down in stores – and good luck with that mission!

The spherical star of the new Revenge of the Sith movie (don’t spoil it, we haven’t seen it yet!) is a playful companion. Now he can be controlled from your device via the universal app.
Star Wars Everywhere!
The droid can show a range of expressions, respond to voice commands thanks to its Bluetooth Smart connection with your Windows 10 Phone or Tablet.
The app allows for finger sliding control of the droid, or you can set him off to explore on autopilot.
Finally, you can record a message on the phone that BB-8 can replay as a virtual hologram.
If you haven’t got a BB-8 to play with, you can add a Star Wars flavor (http://www.windows10newsinfo.com/smf/index.php/topic,30825.0.html) to your desktop and devices in other ways.
Let us know if he’s worth the hype if you have one, or if you know where to track one down.
