When will you be able to buy one? The Star Wars Battle Drones will be getting a limited release ahead of Christmas this year, and each drone sold will be a limited edition and come in a numbered box. We saw the drones in action, but haven’t had the chance to try them out for ourselves, or use the training app. Even when you try out the drone for the first time, there’s something called T-Mode, where an artificial floor and ceiling is created, and the drone stays in flight regardless of your errors. It’s tailored to recreate the real-world physics of drone flight, without the fear of crashing and breaking your drone in the first minute. To help drone newbies learn to fly, Propel has created an app that links up to the controller via Bluetooth, where you’re taught to “fly” a virtual drone in the app. The controllers smartly understand the battle, and will even prompt you to attack the ship with the fewest lives left. Each drone is aware of the other during a battle, and using Li-Fi technology, shares data through the laser blasts, ensuring the score and positioning is accurate and up to date. The Propel team wanted to provide an immersive flight experience, the battles to be exciting and engaging, and to make them easy for drone newcomers to fly. Even the boxes are impressive, and you’ll want to store the drone inside, and perhaps put it on display, when it’s not in use. Plug headphones into the controller and a Star Wars soundtrack plays, so you can listen while dogfighting, and a clever algorithm has made it possible for the drones to perform that signature barrel roll we all remember from the films. The included screwdriver to open the battery compartment on the controller looks like a tiny light saber, and when it’s free, a custom audio message from a Star Wars character prompts you to put the batteries in. Lift the lid, the drone is illuminated, and random audio clips from the movies play that tie in with the craft you’re seeing. Propel’s Battle Drones are already cool, but Star Wars fans are really going to love the attention to detail, and the wealth of movie-related clips, references, and Easter Eggs that have been built in. ![]() Especially when John Williams’ classic theme is blasting out, lasers are flashing, and a TIE Fighter takes a direct hit, sending it crashing into the ground. There’s no doubt you’re going to need plenty of skill to fly the drones well, but get it right and you’ll be in Star Wars heaven. Happily the rotors are almost invisible when the drone is in flight, even though they’re obvious when stationary. We got to see a dogfight first-hand, and it’s dizzying, fast, and exciting. #StarWars TIE Fighter and X-wing #drones from battle it out.
