there’s so much good stuff on the spread about rey’s speeder that i don’t even know where to begin
- she made it herself! like! she scavenged or traded for all the parts and then built the thing from the ground up
- it’s a hybrid of a speeder and a swoop, which means that it can carry heavy loads but it’s also really fucking fast (because of course it is look who we’re talking about)
- to protect it from other scavangers when she’s away from it, it 1) won’t start without her fingerprint and 2) will electrocute anyone who tries to touch it
- there are literally tiny tractor beams under the seat to make sure that she stays on it when traveling at high speeds.
- i’m just gonna go ahead and quote the book because i can’t improve on it: “rey’s speeder is ridiculously overpowered when lightly loaded… when away from prying eyes, rey lets her craft take flight, performing barrel rolls and other maneuvers that push both her speeder and her piloting skills to the limit”
