When Luke Skywalker's beloved T-16 skyhopper wasn't functioning, his only escape from moisture farm drudgery came from his beat-up brown landspeeder. Hovering aloft on a cushion of antigravity, the speeder had three thrusters for maneuverability and a curved windscreen for protection from Tatooine's blowing grit.

To raise the credits needed to purchase passage off Tatooine, Luke was forced to sell his speeder. The popularity of the newer XP-38 models cut into the speeder's resale value, though Luke and Obi-Wan were able to finagle 2,000 credits out of the deal.
