WATCH: New 'Star Wars' droid D-O debuts on 'GMA' ahead of Triple Force Friday

We may be a week out from Triple Force Friday and even further from the release of "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," but that doesn't mean fans can't get a sneak peek at some of the incredible toys heading their way very soon.

In advance of the Oct. 4 event -- and the unveiling of the next generation of Star Wars products -- stars from several "Star Wars" projects participated in a live event Thursday to reveal some of the new products.

As the "Star Wars" fan-favorite normally does, Warwick Davis hosted the livestream and welcoming past actors like Anthony Daniels and Billy Dee Williams on to announce what fans can expect.

Davis said the name Triple Force Friday stems from the fact that it will be, "Three times bigger and three times better!"

Already revealed was the D-O Interactive Droid from Hasbro.

Much like the beloved BB-8 interactive Droid from a few years back, D-O can be controlled through an app on your smartphone or tablet. Plus, it's super cute.

According to the official description, "Cobbled from odds and ends in the workshop of a droidsmith, D-O is an impressionable little roller that becomes fixated upon BB-8."

You can check this droid out later this year in "The Rise of Skywalker," out on Dec. 20.

Hasbro also teased on Twitter Thursday a Black Series Luke Skywalker figure.
