X-34 landspeeder

"Ever since the XP-38 came out, they just aren't in demand."

- Luke Skywalker upon selling his landspeeder.

X-34 landspeeders were a model of landspeeder available during the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. They were built with a powerful repulsorlift engine augmented with three air-cooled thrust turbines, which allowed them to hover up to a meter off the ground. The vehicles were fast, but fairly non-descript in appearance, measuring 3.4 meters in length. Following the release of the XP-38 landspeeder, demand for X-34s dropped.

On the planet Tatooine the farmboy Luke Skywalker owned an old and battered X-34 which he used to travel through the planet's deserts. He sold the landspeeder in Mos Eisley after the death of his aunt and uncle, Beru and Owen Lars, and used the money to help pay for transport to the planet Alderaan.
