  You can build all three models, but motors and hub needs to be switched from model to model.
  Since I had a couple of 17101 Lego Boost set lying around, I used those components to complete the other two models.
  You do need a couple of extra parts, which are a bit easier sourced from your own collection or bricklink:

Body: <p>My son has the original Lego Boost set (with Vernie, Frankie, etc), but is also a big Star Wars fan and would be love to have the R2D2 droid version.  Would it be possible to control the original boost set with the new droid specific functionality, or is the move hub not compatible with the Star Wars app functions?</p>
  
  <p>I am thinking of building the R2D2 droid from parts rather than buy the whole set again.</p>
