When it comes to DIY, most fathers settle for fixing the taps or sticking some shelves up. But one dad has taken his tool kit to another galaxy and crafted his very own life-size R2-D2 costume.
With just days until Star Wars fans can get their hands on a new Motorola Droid phone in honour of the beloved robot, this US-based devotee has opted for a homemade tribute instead.
He’s used skills that would put a props expert to shame and fashioned a flashing, bleeping, motorised droid from what appears to be the family’s rubbish bin.
And despite a bemused reaction from his kids and their pet dog as he whizzes around the back yard, the inventor’s been given a big thumbs-up from fellow Star Wars buffs.
May the force be with him.

At last, here's the droid we were all looking for. In this frame you can clearly see R2-D2's cameo in JJ Abrams' Star Trek. This time there's absolutely no doubt about it: It's been confirmed by ILM.

Can you see him floating there, on the left, right below the huge arrow that I also missed when I saw the movie? That's obviously him, a fact that has been confirmed to me by one of the movie's sequence supervisors at Industrial Light & Magic—the same guy who said this previous sighting was just the shuttle.
I don't know about you but, right now, I feel like what I imagine my dog Jones feels whenever I take his collar off and scratch him on the neck. Oh yesyeyeyeyes. YES. Harf. Woof.
