And Gungans. It's cool, though, that Speeder Bikes are called Bikes, since
bike is of course an abbreviation for bicycle, implying that wheeled
conveyances were in use prior to repulsor technology. That, or perhaps the
engine is two-cycled!
Speaking of Speeder Bikes, don't they go like a zillion miles an hour? Is
steering computer-assisted, or does it rely on the pilot? Is there any
forcefield, or is the pilot exposed to zillion mph winds?
Just curious, since I don't own any of those Star Wars tech manuals...
Dave!
