Toy maker Nikko has come out with a video projector and DVD player in one package that looks just like, R2D2, the robot droid of Star Wars legend. 

In the spirit of all things from another galaxy the remote control unit looks like a miniature Millennium Falcon, the spaceship that also grabbed its share of the limelight without the need for vocal cords.

The whole R2D2 unit weighs in at 8 kg and measures 34x33x52 cm and costs 388,000 yen (US$3162). The device includes an iPod dock and a memory card reader. The projector, which shines forth from the top of R2D2's metallic skull ala his debut in the original "Star Wars", is a DLP with XGA resolution, 1500 lumens and a contrast ratio of 1800:1.
