Star Wars kids will absolutely love this X-34 Landspeeder from Radio Flyer. It doesn’t actually hover, but it does have a motorized drivetrain. You just need a VFX artist to go around with your kids and erase the bottom as they drive along. Problem solved.

It features an interactive dashboard with light-up buttons and even has sounds taken from the original Star Wars movie. It can carry two kids, and has two forward speeds (2mph and 5mph), and can also go in reverse. Too bad there are no droids to put in back.

It is powered by a rechargeable 12-volt battery and will be available exclusively from Toys ‘R’ Us. It’s available for pre-order now for $499.99(USD), with the first units expected to ship in September.

Sadly, its maximum load is 130 pounds, so I hope they make an adult-sized version. Kids get all the cool stuff.
