Drivable replica of Luke Skywalker's X-34 Landspeeder

Friday, August 29, 2008


Yes, that's a real landspeeder, just like Luke Skywalker's X-34 in Star Wars. No computer-generated Hollywood movie magic here. Well, except that it doesn't exactly hover. The fiberglass body is mounted on a custom aluminum electric car chassis. With a top speed of only about 25 MPH, it's going to take awhile to get across the Tatooine desert, seeing as the three thrusters are non-functional.



Builder Daniel Deutsch, a Lucasfilm employee, has also made a custom R2-D2 complete with a built-in video projector. Fans of his work apparently include Joey Fatone.
