Han Solo would be proud of the pilot who made a few special modifications to his ship.

Drone enthusiasts are known for decking out their aerial gadgets -- but YouTuber Olivier C just outdid them all by turning his custom quadcopter into the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars.

The quadcopter is made out of a foam shell which not only looks like the starship -- it also has working thruster lights in the back and directional lights in the front. Oliver provided a thorough step-by-step process on the forum rcgroups.com

One video on Oliver's YouTube channel describes the craft as being "slightly front heavy" -- and you can see that in its brief crash in this icy, Hoth-like environment. Still, we're sure it's the only drone that can do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.

Oliver revealed in a Reddit thread that a TIE Fighter is his next project -- presumably so the two ships can go head to head in some spectacular battles.

All we need after that? A drone Death Star.
