Awesome Real-Life Star Wars Speeder Bikes Video | Geeky Racing Through New York

Star Wars is riding high once more, with the new movies impressing both veteran fans and n00bs alike. But the most memorable scenes are from the original trilogy.

Scenes such as the speeder bikes being manhandled through a forest, with stormtroopers chasing Princess Leia before she meets the Ewoks.

If only speeder bikes were real…

OK, so they’re not real, and probably never will be. However, this video shows some geeks trying to fool the people of New York into thinking Star Wars speeder bikes are real.

I could have done without the over-the-top acting and fake arrests, but this didn’t quite manage to ruin the whole thing.
