It seems we won’t have to wait until Star Wars Land opens in two years to interact with robots at Walt Disney World.

Enter iCan, the new interactive humanoid robot that’s now making daily appearances in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom. This new “droid,” if you will, appears to be a replacement of sorts for the fan favorite Push the Trashcan, who last appeared in Tomorrowland in 2014.

Much like Push, iCan’s routine has him rolling around Tomorrowland, joking with theme park guests.

For those that still miss Push the Trashcan, here’s a look back at his amusing antics:
