Created by Air Hogs, the Millennium Falcon quadcopter can be controlled by remote control, and features lights and sound effects from the movies, ranging from the hyperdrive noise to voice clips from Chewbacca and R2D2.

It has an operational range of about 60 metres – just shy of a galaxy far, far away.

I saw some footage of a drone crashing into the stands at the US tennis open - seems the operator definitely wasn't Han Solo: he didn't manage to evade the authorities and was charged.

It was a fairly boring match and the drone crash was about the most interesting thing that happened. Search Youtube for "drone us open".
