Is it the droid you are looking for? Well, if you’ve looked for a freight carrier droid in the size of a pint that you can follow, Lucasfilm’s latest collaboration with Piaggio Fast Forward may well be the one you have sought.
Meet G1T4-M1N1, a special edition of Piaggio’s Gitamini Robot that sticks with standard bright yellow – perhaps a lemon green – a shell of a droid and throws personalized decals which give it the appearance of an astromech. You will find long arms like those of R2-D2 on the left and on the right, various gray forms giving it a shell and sensors in Gogo all around.
In addition, via the integrated speaker, Piaggio worked with Lucasfilm to design personalized droid sounds, so yes, various beeps and Boops, as well as a personalized lighting package, complete the Star Wars edition.
Apart from that, it is indeed the classic Gita with a stack of front sensors with two cameras that work like a pair and a second -color CMOS camera. All of this works in conjunction with AI models on a device to help the G1T4-M1N1 to recognize you and lock yourself, so that it can follow you and avoid obstacles.

It also has two main wheels, and the real shell of the robot balances between them because it slides so effortlessly. I tested it in the Techradar office in New York, which was especially fluid. To what extent would this happen on the sandy surface of Tatooine or the icy surface of Hoth? Your supposition is as good as mine, but I have the feeling that the G1T4-M1N1 would ask you to never tell him the chances.
Piaggio says it surmounts 6 mph, however. When the colleagues spotted him by sliding in the office, one would have thought that he had struck the hyperspace. Seriously, however, G1T4-M1N1 packs a punch, and it is quite compact, measuring just under 19 inches high.
This robot does not only concern good droid looks. He has a goal. I slipped Sabine Wren’s lightsaber into the cargo tray, which opens quite easily from above. It also locks via the application, so that the precious cargo can be stored safely. He can hold up to a payload of 20 pounds, so he could contain a lot of Beskar, which is a victory.
It is a nice robot, the result of a collaboration between Piaggio and Lucasfilm which came quite naturally. Addressing Techradar exclusively, Greg Lynn, CEO of Piaggio Fast Forward, said to us: “When we met Disney on the campus for the first time and we entered with a Gita Mini and a Gita Plus robot, it was also one of the best experiences, with people who came out of the office building saying:` they are there! ” ” ”.
Strengthen
It was obvious that the Piaggio Fast Forward team was Fans of Star Wars, and the Lucas Film and Star Wars team was, as you can imagine, fans of real robots and droids. Lynn shared that it was an excellent partnership working together on “the development of all kinds of customizations and functionalities” to make a special robot, which was formed as G1T4-M1N1.
Lynn and the Piaggio team were able to look through the Lucasfilm archives in search of first astro-mechs droids. The Gita Mini already had sensors, just like the astro-mechs, so it was a fairly perfect pair. You will experience personalized sounds at different times when using the G1T4-M1N1, including when you start walking and stopping suddenly or changing your speed quickly.
Lynn shared his enthusiasm for this launch, and if you are already sold, the G1T4-M1N1 is available for the order now in the Disney store for $ 2,875. You will also get the Star Wars edition of Droid and special packaging. Nor is it a limited edition, so you should be able to find one for a good time.
The droid you are looking for
The launch is also before May 4, 2025, also known as Star Wars Day, and it is one of the coolest, although more expensive products to start. And if you are looking for other articles-perhaps a new LEGO set or a piece of the epic, icy collection, you can wear it in the G1T4-M1N1.
Now, if you want to see the G1T4-M1N1 in action, before buying or you just want to try it, the Times Square Disney Store, New York, will have several of this weekend-certainly a fun way to celebrate Star Wars day.
