- Piaggio is back with another limited-edition Star Wars robot
- The Grogu gitamini is a custom-skinned cargo-carrying robot
- The $2,875 bot is up for order now ahead of May the 4th and the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu
We’re just six days away from May the 4th — aka Star Wars Day — and only 25 days away from Star Wars returning to the big screen with The Mandalorian and Grogu. So it only makes sense that a trove of brands are launching new products, including plenty of toys, all themed to the iconic universe, and the new film.
Now, nearly a year after Piaggio first introduced a Star Wars-themed cargo-carrying droid, the brand is doing it again. TechRadar can exclusively show off and reveal the Grogu gitamini — a fresh skin, some stickers, and a surprise under the hood that gives this personal companion robot a bounty hunter feel.
Essentially, the gitamini has two main wheels and a full stack of sensors, including two cameras and a color CMOS camera that works with an onboard platform to lock onto the owner — aka you, if you get one — and allows the cargo-carrying robot to follow you around.

The cargo bin measures 17.9 x 16.5 x 18.9 inches and has a 20-pound capacity — good enough for a ton of credits, some Beskar-style goods, or a bag or two from a quick run to a convenience store or local grocer.
Piaggio Fast Forward again worked with Disney, Disney Consumer Products, and Lucasfilm to design this custom Grogu edition of the gitamini. That includes a mostly white outer shell with some orange accents and simulated wear and tear. It’s a pretty simple skin, but under the hood, the gitamini does a bit more.
There’s an adorable Grogu graphic that pops off the main build for a 3D effect, ensuring the Force-sensitive creature protects your goods stored inside. The interior cargo bin is orange, matching the exterior accents. Whether you keep the lid open or closed, Grogu will be there to offer protection.
It also features custom LED light effects and custom sound effects — essentially a healthy dose of beeps and boops, just like we saw with last year’s models.
Just like 2025’s G1T4-M1N1, the Grogu gitamini won’t come cheap — it’s available to order now from Disney Store and Piaggio Fast Forward’s own store for $2,875. You’ll need to decide if that’s worth the price for you, but you can read more of our first impressions of the original Star Wars model here — it’s the same tech under the hood, just with a slightly different design, and still a great addition.
It won’t be featured in the upcoming film like the BDX Droids, and it isn’t necessarily as adorable as they are, but it can help carry up to 20 pounds of items.
