Editorial Review

No one in the galaxy can track down prey like the wily Sith Lords. In Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, learned this as they tried to give that tattooed bad guy Darth Maul the slip. This live-action, electronic game from Hasbro lets you give those two Jedi a hand, as you frustrate one of Maul's robotic helpers, a Sith probe droid. Armed with your 30-inch-long lightsaber, you face off against the battery-operated droid, which rotates 360 degrees atop a 3-foot-tall stand. When it locks onto your signal, it fires a foam tracer disc carrying vital information back to its Sith master. As you jump and spin around the tenacious robot, you try to deflect the 12 discs it fires; to keep the location of the Jedi secret, you've got to knock down or block as many as you can. May the Force be with you. --Paul Hughes

I just recieved this for Christmas today and quite frankly, it is the most astounding SW toy I own. It's a full size movie prop, it moves, it talks, and it fires things at you! What other reasons do you want to buy this thing? My only concern is that I have only played with it for two hours and I've already lost a foam projectile (it comes with 12) down the back of the piano.

I bought it because it was ... and the pictures on Amazon seemed to indicate it was nice. It does look rather nice sitting in the corner of a geek's living room.

Actually it is kind of neat idea, someone was at least trying to be creative at Hasbro. The unit has 2 infrared receivers on it so that it is able to track your light saber (which has 3 infrared LEDs on it). Holding down the lightsaber button causes it to emit a low hum and begin transmitting the infrared signal. The droid spins around on its pole until it finds the signal and then will follow your light saber as you walk around. Then the droid starts to groan as it loads a disk and then fires it at you.

Forget about deflecting the disks- unless you really do have the Force! They fly so fast that the only time you see them is when they land! That's IF you can find them again!

The game is best when played in a large dimly lit room so that there are no infrared reflections from walls and mirrors to confuse it. Got my dogs to scatter pretty quickly ;)

In all, it was a fun buy and a very nice replica at ....

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you believe in the force?, April 20, 2001

You will after playing with this toy. It shoots the discs out so fast, you have to feel when to swing to bat them down, rather than see--"Your eyes can deceive you, so don't use them." If you want your kid to be able to hit a fast ball, get them started with this game. I got two of them, one for my nephew, one for myself on a whim. I got lucky the first time and managed to hit one out of twelve.

I was nervous that the game would work, but it blew me out of the water right away. The droid rotates smoothly on the stand, no sticking or catching and the discs fire at the speed of light. The light saber makes sound as you move it, you only have to keep holding down a button that let's the droid part you're ready.

There is no way you can go wrong with this toy. I would think it would have originally sold for around $40, it's a steal atthe price now. The kids will love it, you'll love it and so will your wallet.
