YouTuber, stuntman and inventor Colin Furze has already created a Tie Silencer and
an AT-AcT to celebrate the last two Star Wars films. This year he was challenged
to recreate the iconic Landspeeder to celebrate the release of _Star Wars The Rise
of Skywalker_.

He explained: “Myself and eBay have teamed up again to complete our trilogy of Star
Wars builds, from the AT-AcT to a full size Tie Silencer we are finishing off with
Luke’s iconic landspeeder from the original film. The base vehicle and many parts
have been sourced from eBay, the key source in any galaxy.”
