Star Wars Vintage Speeder Bikes

On this blog, we discuss the finer points of Star Wars vintage history, like how Jango's Slave 1 is one of the most wicked ships of all time, but the Slave 2 is a pile of junk. :)  If this kind of thing interests you, please poke around and see what you find!

Speeder bikes are small, fast transports that use repulsorlift engines to achieve speeds of nearly 500 kilometers per hour.

Speeders are seen throughout the series, but the most famous scene is the forest chase scene in Return of the Jedi, where Leia and Luke pilot a pair of speeders to chase down scout troopers who might reveal the Rebel Alliance's presence on Endor.
