Ron SalvatoreSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Remember, the big action figure toy of 78 was the Death Star, a playset so big it fit a whole monster in one of its smallest components.
Ron SalvatoreSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The only three vehicles released in 1978 were the TIE Fighter, X-Wing, and Landspeeder, three fairly affordable products.
Ron SalvatoreSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That is, they were easy purchases after you'd purchased a few action figures.
Ron SalvatoreSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So the Falcon had to wait a bit, which was probably okay.
Rob WhitesideHOST
The other thing that I have here, The other thing that I have here are there's some more rides.
Rob WhitesideHOST
So this is a Landspeeder, very similar to the Jack Skellington one.
Rob WhitesideHOST
Same kind of a box.
Rob WhitesideHOST
You can open that one up, but I won't do that here.
Rob WhitesideHOST
So the Landspeeder, Luke Skywalker.
Rob WhitesideHOST
Now, up until now, I think everything I've shown you is either Star Wars, Marvel, Nightmare, Disney, or Pixar.
Rob WhitesideHOST
This one I had to have.
Alan IsaacsNARRATOR
For more information on the sequel, look for the Star Wars 1 article in this issue.
Alan IsaacsNARRATOR
How did Luke's Landspeeder work? Landspeeders are anti-gravitational vehicles that work on lines of gravity that are at right angles to the planet's own gravity.
Alan IsaacsNARRATOR
The only effect of speed, other than it visually moving, should be the wind on the occupant's hair and clothing.
Alan IsaacsNARRATOR
This means that there should be no exhaust visible.
Alan IsaacsNARRATOR
It was possible to set up or take down the rig in approximately one hour.
Alan IsaacsNARRATOR
In total, the rig weighed in at around TIV tons, and was painted to be as unobtrusive as possible against its background.
Alan IsaacsNARRATOR
Special Production and Mechanical Effects Supervisor John Steers was the one who had to design and construct the Landspeeder.
Alan IsaacsNARRATOR
That's all the questions and answers for this issue.
Levi LewisHOST
1999.
Levi LewisHOST
Yeah, from the 1999 movie, I had the Landspeeder from Naboo that has the cannon on the back of it.
Levi LewisHOST
That's what I had.
SteggyGUEST
Yeah, they were cool.
Matt WebsterGUEST
Well, I think there's something like 8 million combinations.
Matt WebsterGUEST
So there's sort of, there's 12 core designs in each of those Landspeeder, Speeder Bike and the Skim Speeders.
Matt WebsterGUEST
But then each Speeder is sort of, it's got six slots.
Matt WebsterGUEST
And you can, parts are interchangeable between designs.
Matt WebsterGUEST
But it feels also authentically Star Wars.
Matt WebsterGUEST
And then we have liveries and colors and patina that you can customize.
Matt WebsterGUEST
And that's across the Landspeeder and the Speeder Bike and the Skim Speeder.
Matt WebsterGUEST
The Skim Speeder is a brand new vehicle to Star Wars, actually.
Andy PrestonHOST
And these were blueprints that were used by Palatoy and a British company, Hardwick Wood, who did all the tooling, produced the tooling from which Palatoy then made the various vehicles.
Andy PrestonHOST
So I've got some for the X-Wing, the Landspeeder, and the Cloud Car, and now the Darth Vader TIE.
Andy PrestonHOST
So there's various blueprints, some at true scale, some at two-to-one scale, so enlarged.
Andy PrestonHOST
Things like the main cockpit sections, the wing detail, the seat, the actual cockpit window, the little catch that holds the wings on, the battery covers, various different things in there.
