Because almost every mode of transportation is improved with more horsepower, inventor and YouTuber Joel Creates replaced the pathetically underpowered 12-volt motors of a children’s Star Wars Landspeeder toy with a small jet engine. And, I think I speak for every speed-lover here when I say, where was this when I was a kid?

Tropical tiki drinks: I daydream about them often, usually when I’m stuck at work under horrible fluorescent lighting watching the time pass at a snail’s pace. Enter this $70 X-34 Landspeeder tiki mug set crafted by Geeki Tikis and available from Tonyk.

Inventor and madman Colin Furze has built some pretty wild stuff over the years. Among my favorites are his Star Wars-inspired projects, which so far have included a giant AT-ACT playhouse and a full-size TIE Silencer ships.

Star Wars kids will absolutely love this X-34 Landspeeder from Radio Flyer. It doesn’t actually hover, but it does have a motorized drivetrain. You just need a VFX artist to go around with your kids and erase the bottom as they drive along.

Don’t forget to eat your cake, Luke. But I was going to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters! Wait, did you say cake?!? I’m on it, Aunt Beru. This cool cake was made by Gilles Leblanc of Les Gateaux de Gilles in Quebec and it looks just like Luke’s X-34 Landspeeder.

Flickr user Nick Chen aka solscud made a cute collection of Star Wars minifigures wearing their respective vehicles. For instance, Kylo Ren has his command shuttle, Han Solo is wearing the Millennium Falcon and Rey is, well, in the Millennium Falcon, but with the new different radar dish.

This may look like a scene from before or after Luke and Ben and the droids went for a stroll in the Landspeeder, but it is actually a cake.

It’s never too early or too late to indoctrinate your cat into loving the things that you love. Like Star Wars. You could always buy your cat a neat Star Wars blanket, or a costume, but they really appreciate beds that look like Star Wars vehicles.

Have you ever wondered what a Star Wars LEGO set for girls might look like? Tyler Sky has the answer. He created this fun mashup.

Instructables member blogsdo is a pretty awesome guy. He made this “quick and dirty” Landspeeder X-34 for his son’s 6th birthday party. He used a chassis from a pedal powered Original Kettcar and built the frame around it.

If you want your kid to have the Star Wars experience, start them at an early age. Make them a landspeeder stroller and push them around while you go shopping.

You know how they have the building plaques on some ships to commemorate their construction? Every Star Trek ship has one on the bridge too. Well, even though the Star Wars ships never had these, you can buy them from Big Bay Toy Store.
