Bionic hands, hovercars, 3D chess, lightsabers (sort of) - here are the bits of Star Wars tech that have become reality.

 

Battle Droids

Stormtroopers. They go down like a pinball if you merely tap their heavy full-body armour with the butt of a blaster. They have the aiming ability of a blind mongoose – honestly, you’d win Marksman Of The Month on most Death Stars for managing to hit the ramp your target rebels are fleeing up. So it seems ridiculous that the Empire would have ditched the battle droids of The Phantom Menace in favour of this useless army of dicks. Our own military aren’t making the same mistake, instead moving away from human soldiers towards ‘BigDogs’, basically tooled-up remote-controlled robots that can navigate tricky terrains on its animal-style legs. All that’s left is to make them solar-powered otherwise, when they run out of petrol, they’re basically just an Amazon drone delivering heavy artillery to the enemy.
