8092 Luke’s Landspeeder

The 8092 LEGO Luke’s Landspeeder was released in 2010. This 163-piece classic Star Wars set is small and has an asymmetrical design due to its left engine that has its housing missing. The Landspeeder seats two minifigures and has a single steering wheel for controls. At the back of the speeder is a top engine and the small platform that it rests on which are removable, revealing a hidden compartment that is used for storing lightsabers. The compartment is small but functional, and the blades of the lightsabers should be removed from the hilts first in order for them to fit within it. This set includes six minifigures. A Luke Skywalker minifigure with pupils printed on his face is only available in this set. The included Ben Kenobi minifigure also has a face that was slightly redesigned. Both of these minifigures come with blue chrome-handled lightsabers. Unlike the standard Sandtroopers which only have an orange pauldron, this set includes one that has a new, black shoulder pauldron and a new backpack. The 8092 Luke’s Landspeeder set also includes R2-D2 and C-3PO, and a Sentry Droid minifigure that is entirely brick-built and has a clear stand that makes it appear as if it is flying or floating.

In the Star Wars story, Luke’s Landspeeder was a civilian X-34 Landspeeder that was manufactured by SoroSuub. The speeder had holographic displays and used a computer for navigation. It also featured many repulsorlift counterbalances to make the ride easy and smooth. Luke Skywalker sold his speeder in order to pay Han Solo the fare to fly him and Ben Kenobi away from Tatooine in his ship called the Millennium Falcon.

75209 – Han Solo’s Landspeeder

A part of the Solo: A Star Wars Story sub-theme, the 75209 Han Solo’s Landspeeder set was released in 2018. This set includes a rectangular Landspeeder which is navy blue and white, with rounded sides and a large boxy rear that is taller than the main vehicle. It also has an open cockpit, an opening hood with storage compartment, a rear storage compartment, hidden wheels and a removable engine. The set includes Han Solo and Qi’ra minifigures, as well as a Corellian Hound figure. This Landspeeder set measures over 1 inch high, 6 inches long and 3 inches wide.

Manufactured by Mobquet Swoops and Speeders, M-68 Landspeeder was very popular among Corellian speeder enthusiasts because of its repulsorlift generator that was easy to modify and overcharge. In the year 10 BBY, Han Solo and Qi’ra used an overpowered speeder of this type to escape the lair of the White Worms and drive themselves to the Coronet Spaceport. Qi’ra was however captured by Moloch, who pursued them, and Han Solo’s Landspeeder was likely taken by White Worm thugs.

Moloch was able to capture Qi’ra when he caught up to them at the spaceport, while Han Solo managed to escape the planet.

75271 Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder

At 236 pieces and thirty dollars this set could be a little overpriced.  But the set does have some positives as the Landspeeder itself is a much improved design and the minifigure selection isn’t too bad either.

Along with the Landspeeder, we also get a small build to hide a Jawa which is a little odd as we don’t get an R2-D2 included for him to jump out on. Perhaps a Tusken Raider may have been a better choice.

Still, overall this is a nice looking LEGO set, looks an interesting build and has a good selection of bricks.

Comparison

We have looked into the various Lego Star Wars Landspeeder sets, and determined how they are different from each other.

As a summary, we can conclude that the 75052 Mos Eisley Cantina is the best when we base it on the number of parts and playability. After all you get a fully working Cantina, a Landspeeder and a newly designed Dewback! However, when we base it on the design and the “coolness factor” of the Landspeeder, we could say that the 75210 Moloch’s Landspeeder takes the cake.
