For the big kid in us all (well the male population for sure), or just fathers who know their kids must have a robot projector, there’s Nikko Home Electronics’ R2-D2 DVD Projector.

It comes complete with a Millennium Falcon remote control (of course) and will project an image up to 80in big. It has just about everything you’ll need – an iPod dock, LCos projector, DVD player, memory card slots and 20watt speakers. If you want to hook it up to other entertainment devices, it also has a terminal panel.

It’ll set you back $2,500, so if money’s tight and you must have an R2-D2 robot, there’s always the R2-D2 Wireless Webcam instead. That’s a more sedate $350 and hey, it comes with a Lightsabre Skype phone/controller.

The Webcam can wander around your home – it has sensors to stop it from bumping into tables or falling down any stairs – beaming back images of your rooms (or whomever you are spying on!) to your PC.

Both will be out later this year.

We hope to get a video of it working later today.
