   The Landspeeder from Star Wars 1977

   In 2019 “Hollywood Dream Machines: Vehicles of Science Fiction and   
   Fantasy” exhibit opened at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los   
   Angeles, which included the X-34 Landspeeder. It was built by the   
   SoroSuub Corporation and uses a powerful repulsorlift engine to hover   
   over rough terrain. In the opening scenes of A New Hope, Luke   
   Skywalker (Mark Hamill) uses the X-34 to traverse the arid planet of   
   Tatooine. originally developed from a Bond Bug, a British three-wheel   
   car from the 1970s, a number of “tricks” were employed to achieve a   
   hovering illusion, including a large side-mounted jib and angled   
   mirrors affixed to the undercarriage to hide the wheels!
