Luke Skywalker's transportation mode on planet Tatooine is the X-34 landspeeder, which hovers above the ground thanks to three repulsorlifts powered by turbines that keep the craft hovering and propel it forward. Most landspeeders, especially on a dry planet like Tatooine, have closed cockpits, but Luke's is open due to mechanical failure.
