Now You Can Build Your Own Millennium Falcon Drone !!! ~ DepoTech

No word on how many parsecs this Falcon makes the Kessel Run in, probably more than
12. Given how much fun this 18-mph home-made Millennium Falcon drone is to watch, we won't hold it against it. This, of course, is a quadcopter that drops the usual FPV and GoPro attire for something all Star Wars fans will enjoy. What's more, the creator has kindly shared all the details, so you can make your own. If you're more in tune with the dark side, the maker's next project is apparently a TIE Fighter -- so the two of those in action, we really can't wait to see. Make the jump over the break to watch it flying overHoth (or somewhere a bit like it). In the meantime, we're running an errand to get some foam and paint.

This Millennium Falcon quadcopter can get up to a speed of 18mph. But it appears to be a sprinter not built for long distance Kessel runs with the battery dying after five minutes in the video. Those super bright lights probably suck quite a bit of juice too – although they're clearly worth it.

The next project, for those of you with a bit of the dark side in you, is going to be a Tie Fighter. Hopefully that will have functioning lights and a good speed too.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is due to be released on 18 December – just in time for Christmas then. We will be amazed if the powers that be don't jump on this idea and have Millennium Falcon quadcopters ready in time for Christmas presents. If you'd rather keep it original you can build you own following the instructions on the rcgroups site.
