7 Awesome Star Wars Drones

Posted on by

Star Wars fans literally have thousands of merchandise that they can buy. But nothing will be as cool as the ones that I’m about to show you. I am not talking about action figures or posters, but drones. Drones that can actually fly. These 7 Awesome Star Wars Drones are just what you need to complete your craving for the most authentic Star Wars merchandise. There’s the Millennium Falcon drone, RC Tie Fighter drone, X-Wing Starfighter drone and more. All these drones are available on Amazon and are just a click away.

Star Wars Remote Control X-Wing Starfighter

The X-Wing Starfighter RC drone is made from crash-resistant foam body. It can take a bump here and there but don’t take it too far. It uses 2.4GHz communication which ensures ranges up to 250 feet away. The remote control is well designed and is pretty straightforward. There is an analog stick for moving forward and backward as well as one for moving up and down. The combination of white and gray along with Star Wars branding looks cool. All this comes in a neat box with a lot of Star Wars graphics. If not for flying, it’ll make a great showpiece.

Star Wars X-wing vs. Death Star RC Drones

We saw the X-Wing Starfighter just now. This one comes along with the Death Star and is apt for two people to battle it out. This can be combined with other Star Wars drones for the most epic battles. The Death Star hovers automatically and shoots at your X-Wing Starfighter. All you have to do is hit the Death Star consecutively for three times to take it down. This one works on 2.4GHz communication and the range is somewhere near the 200 feet mark. Make sure to buy 6 AA batteries.

Star Wars Remote Control Millennium Falcon Quad

The Millennium Falcon is the most iconic starship in the Star Wars universe. Imagine flying one of those yourself. This Star Wars RC drone is really compact and comes with 4 rotors inside the body of the starship. The remote control is similar to the ones we’ve seen above and offers simple controls. There is onboard gyro stabilization for a smooth flight and the 2.4GHz communication offers a range of up to 200 feet. It requires 6 AA batteries to run which is not included in the set.

Star Wars RC Tie Fighter Advanced

This one is a uniquely designed Star Wars RC drone. The remote control also looks extremely good thanks to the combination of black and gray along with the Star Wars branding. This Tie Fighter, used by Darth Vader in Star Wars: Episode IV is a must have for all Star Wars fans. The unique design and the placement of the propellers will just sweep you off your feet. The drone is made of a crash resistant material which ensures protection from the toughest crash landings. It is intended for flying outside and requires 6 AA batteries like the rest of them.

Star Wars Speeder Bike Remote Controlled Drone

The Speeder Bike RC drone looks cool if you ask me and the Scout Trooper on the bike just adds to the looks. Let me remind you, the Scout Trooper doesn’t have any functionality. The Speeder Bike has 4 propellers attached on all 4 sides and there is gimmick gun which projects outwards. The best way to enjoy with this one is to get your friends to buy them as well. Then head outside and race against each other through obstacles making sure that you don’t crash in the process.

Star Wars Remote Control Millennium Falcon XL Drone

This one is very similar to the Millenium Falcon drone that we just saw above. I said that one was compact and if you wanted a larger drone, then the Millennium Falcon XL is what you should get. It features the same design with the 4 propellers placed inside the body. But this one is much larger. And when I say larger, I mean it. Take a look at the picture for your reference. Since this a larger RC drone, it comes with much more controls than the smaller one. There is a barometric pressure height lock system and 6-axis gyro for the smoothest flight possible. Even though this one is much larger than the other ones on this list, it requires only 4 AA batteries.

Star Wars Star Destroyer Drone

The last one on this list is my favorite because of the level of detail that has gone into this one. It looks extremely well made and the propellers on the back of the Star Destroyer along with the other intricate details make it one of the most awesome Star Wars drones out there. There are 4 rotors inside the body of the drone, just like the Millennium Falcon drone. The remote control uses a combination of black and white and goes well with the drone itself. The whole body of the drone is made out of crash resistant foam and this one too requires 6 AA batteries to function.

Disney’s Millennium Falcon Drone Goes on Sale

Disney Star Wars The Force Awakens Millennium Falcon Drone

Even though a new trilogy would have sounded impossible a few years ago, there still are a lot of fans thinking that the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie is the best gift Santa could bring them this year. For their kids, there’s a new range of merchandise that includes, among many other things, a Millennium Falcon drone.

Now that Mickey Mouse is officially Darth Vader’s daddy, we’ll get to see action figures of menacing Sith Lords and cute Ewoks sitting right next to Princess Elsa and her likes. To promote the upcoming Star Wars movie, the entertainment giant has teamed up with American RC vehicle maker Air Hogs to create a series of toys that are more relevant to our times. As such, there is an X-Wing drone, but more importantly, kids of all ages will get to pilot Han Solo’s light freighter, the Millennium Falcon, which has also been turned into an UAV.

USA Today claimed that the Millennium Falcon drone would cost $120, but Walmart sells it for $88, while Toys R’Us offers it for $109.99. Star Wars merchandise can get pretty expensive, with some older Clone Troopers costing way more than that, so the price tag of the drones shouldn’t shock anyone. It’s a real pity that more original space sagas, that even served as inspiration for Lucas when writing Star Wars (I’m thinking about Frank Herbert’s Dune here) don’t get to have such merchandise, not to mention that they get nowhere as much promotion as Star Wars. Truth be told, Lucas’ brainchild is far more commercially successful, and most people nowadays ditch originality for pretty designs and special effects, anyway.

Disney also thinks we should take a break from our obsession with R2-D2 and C-3PO. To help us do that, it introduced the BB-8 app-enabled droid, which was developed in partnership with Sphero. Touted by some as the most innovative piece of Star Wars merchandise, the BB-8 droid might not be the huge commercial success Disney hoped, as it costs $149.99. Sure, crazy Star Wars fans will probably turn a blind eye while opening their wallets with a huge grin on their faces.

Check out the above video to see how the BB-8 droid looks and works in real life.
