Re: What's your Favourite Star Wars Vehicle?

Thanks! Sorry, I forgot to put the name on it, I call it an AT-GD for All-Terrain/Guild Destroyer. I've been looking in to posting some of my art in the chronicles gallery, however, I and others it seems are having difficulty doing that. It seems on the gallery page certain options for uploading are not there for me. When that changes I will let the masses know.

Nothing says quite as much uniquely Star Wars as the original speeders, such as the one Luke drove on Tatooine.

Yeah that is a nice speeder. The one in AotC that Anakin takes isn't great if I remember rightly.

Re: What's your Favourite Star Wars Vehicle?

Ok I am rather partial to the space hopper that Luke had in Star Wars 1V. When I first saw this movie, thats what I wanted. It may not be the flashiet or fastest but I like it!

That speeder in AotC could have been better. How am I supposed to believe he's moving fast, if his cloak hardly flaps. They were also playing "Duel of the Fates" during that scene. I don't see why they had to use that song at that point. Totally pointless.

If you admit it no one can go past a Correllian YT1300.

Perhaps Lucas and/or Williams thought at that point, Anakin was heading for his own duel of the fates, and if you think about it that way, it kind of makes sense. That would be my interpretation on it.

Personally, while I like the show Orange County Choppers, I've never been one for chopper bikes, but I do love the artistic craftsmanship they put in to them making them look really awesome. The swoop bike that Anakin rode and that guy in Mos Eisley looks like a chopper to me, but those, I like the look of enough to want one. A real one I mean, I already have the Hasbro Swoop, very cool. What traffic jam?

"Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed, the abilty to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."

I just couldn't resist. It was cool, though!

Re: What's your Favourite Star Wars Vehicle?

What about Darksaber? or Suncrusher? If those went with the two Death Stars then the empire would be unstoppable.

Re: What's your Favourite Star Wars Vehicle?

The Suncrusher was a cool idea. Who else would ram the bridge of a star destroyer and survive?

I vote Luke's original landspeeder. I so wanted one as a kid. Still want one now.
