What's up peeps.
I'm Joey.
And I'm Jon.
And this is a show-- a very special edition
of a show-- where we take something brand new at Vat19,
unbox it, and then we brainstorm ideas for the commercial.
That's right.
And this episode is intense.
Ah ha ha.
Good one.
OK, anyway, so we'll talk about the tent later.
But we've got a lot to get through.
We've got some awesome stuff to show you guys.
So let's--
What are you going to show us?
Well.
Let's peep this.
Drum roll please.
[SINGING STAR WARS THEME SONG]
Star Wars BB-8 droid.
Heck yeah.
You saw it in the trailer.
And now it's real.
You can actually play with it.
The BB-8 droid is made by the same people that make our Ali
and Sphero products.
And so it's a Bluetooth-enabled robot
that you control your phone.
Super durable.
Really well made.
It's got some-- it's a significant box.
Yeah it's not messing around.
Holographic communication.
What?
Yeah, we've got to check this out.
We need some Star Wars sound effects.
Yeah, I am expecting smoke to pour out of here.
Nice.
OK, yeah.
Gonna--
It's got a pretty cool little BB-8 logo there.
Sphero.
Yeah, Star Wars.
This is, like, Apple quality boxing.
Some instructions.
OK, look at this thing.
Aw, man.
So if you've seen the trailer for the new Star Wars
movie coming out pretty soon, you remember this little droid.
It's an astromech droid.
It's-- I'm sorry?
It's an astromech droid, just like the R2 series.
And just like-- Everyone, that's Keith.
He's kind of an expert in Star Wars stuff.
Yeah.
He likes to hang out outside our tent.
He's got a lot of things to say while we're recording.
Well, somebody has to help you.
Thank you, Keith.
Welcome.
It's just like this little ball that rolls.
And the head kind of stays on top, even though it's rolling.
So I'm really excited to start driving this thing around.
Yeah, it's super cool.
So it looks like we've got USB.
There are probably some instructions and things
in there.
This is the charging base, I think.
Yeah.
You just plug the base in, USB, and it just
charges it right there.
That's awesome.
So we've got our phone here, ready.
We've got the app downloaded.
The app works on iOS and Android.
So you just hold it near it, and then it connects.
Oh, cool.
It's lighting up here.
It's got, like, this blue light.
Some sound effects.
There we go.
Oh yeah.
This is so cool.
So, no matter how the ball rolls,
the head stays on top because of those magnets inside, I guess.
That's really cool.
So you can, like, tap these other commands.
So is that an affirmative?
Yeah, I think so.
A yes kind of response.
Is your name BB-8?
Is Keith adding a ton to our video?
You did that.
I saw you press the button.
There he goes.
OK, so this is like--
Little dance moves.
[BEATBOXING AND WHISTLING]
That was OK.
I didn't hear you contributing anything, Keith.
I was listening
And it feel like he's, kind of, alive.
And he's looking around, looking at you.
It just kind of feels like he's got a personality.
Yeah.
Want to try recording a message?
See what it does?
Help me Obi-wan Kenobi.
You're my only hope.
That's crazy.
So it's, like, projecting the image.
Like augmented reality.
Looks like it's kind of projecting from his head.
It's like floating out here, the message that I just recorded.
But you realize that he would have never have
delivered that message.
Leia delivered that message.
Yes.
That's true.
Can always rely on Keith.
Good old Keith.
Man.
That is the super cool.
I think we need to go show everybody else.
Yeah, we need to drive this thing outside
of this tiny little tents.
Let's take it to the studio?
Let's do it.
Hey Keith, can you watch our tent?
OK, but I'm not responsible for any missing food.
All right.
OK, now that we're out of the tent,
let's see what this droid can do.
Let's do it.
Come in, BB-8.
It's a trap!
Do, or do not.
There is no try.
Man.
That is awesome.
That thing is a blast.
Well, now we've looked at it, we've
got to brainstorm some ideas to make
a commercial for this thing.
Characters from the movie could give us messages,
or something like that.
You guys could produce my fan fiction.
The prequel-sequel.
The Force Reawakens.
Yeah.
We could have a dance party.
You can have a dance party.
I'd like to see it dock into the T-70 X-wing
fighter owned by Poe Dameron.
I have no idea who that is.
I don't know what that means, but it sounds cool.
It's just the fighter who owned BB-8.
That's all.
We could see who could do the Kessel
Run in less than 12 parsecs.
Eh, Keith?
Yes, I remember that reference.
I like how he just is constantly looking around.
It's almost like a little pet.
There we go.
Yeah.
You've got your dogs and your cats.
It's boring.
You can't control your cats with your smartphone.
Yeah, seriously.
So that's a couple of our ideas, but we
want to hear what you guys have to say.
So leave a comment down below if you have an idea for us
to do in this commercial, some sort of skit
or a message maybe for us to record.
Or whatever it is, leave it in the comment down below.
If you've been watching Peep This for a while,
you know that we always give away what we unbox.
So this time we're going to be giving away this exact BB-8.
If you want to win, check the description for information.
And maybe this could be yours.
That's right.
Lastly, make sure you subscribe to Vat19 on YouTube.
Because you don't want to miss any of the videos
that we make on a regular basis.
But especially not this commercial because,
if you see your idea in the commercial,
that would be really cool.
All right.
Well, that'll do it for us in this episode.
We're going to be camped out here for a little while.
I guess we never really told you why we're in a tent.
Yeah.
We are here to see Star Wars.
How many more days we have left?
It's 105 days until the theatrical release.
It going to get cold.
How you've got a Tonton carcass handy.
All right.
105 days until December 18th.
We're going to be here for a while.
So, later peeps.
