Firefly Star Wars Ready Go Brush Firefly developed this brush not just to celebrate the forthcoming new Star Wars movie and the timeless appeal of this entertainment franchise, but also to put the fun factor back in the chore of oral care. As you will see, Darth Vader and Yoda lend plenty of force to the FireFly Ready Go Brush, which features a light-up timer that mimics the cycle of a traffic light and makes sure kids brush long enough – one minute on uppers and one minute on lowers.
