Anker R2-D2 Nebula Capsule II Mini Projector
Oh yes, fans of Star Wars and puns, it's that once-a-year day again. Happy Star Wars Day, Happy Star Wars gift hunting, and May the 4th be with you.
My Star Wars swag features kick off with Anker's limited edition R2-D2 Nebula Capsule II, a mini projector loosely shaped and styled after, and programmed with the precise boot-up sound effects of everyone's favorite droid. The idea for the projector is rooted in the films too, taking inspiration from the scene in Star Wars: A New Hope where Princess Leia has R2-D2 project a holographic message to Obi-Wan Kenobi for her.
Functionally, the R2-D2 Nebula Capsule II is the same as its counterparts that haven't been droided out. Anker calls the line a "cinema in your pocket," with its soda-can-sized projectors able to beam content in 720p, up to 100" diagonal, and at a 200 ANSI lumen brightness.
In addition to the likeness and voice of R2-D2 the Star Wars Capsule II comes packed with Android TV, and its 5,000+ streaming apps. You can cast content via Chromecast, and well as talk to and boss your R2-D2 projector around with Google Assistant.
