If there is one thing Star Wars enthusiasts may find more fascinating than The Force or Darth Vader’s monologues, it is the galaxy’s dazzling catalogue of high-tech gadgetry. Lightsabers are an obvious obsession, but then there is Boba Fett’s jetpack, Luke Skywalker’s robotic hand, and C-3PO’s capacity to translate over six million forms of communication. Yet, few pieces of machinery have ignited more childhood dreams than the speeder bike, the sci-fi motorcycle that made the forest moon of Endor feel like a racetrack.

Volonaut, a real-world company not lacking in ambition (or budget), has attempted to recreate that legendary ride. The result? A sleek hoverbike that reportedly tops out at 63 miles per hour and comes with a galactic price tag of 880,000 United States dollars. The internet, especially the lightsaber-wielding wing of it, responded with critiques worthy of a Jedi Council. Fans immediately began measuring altitude, speed, and general vibes against the original, and found plenty to frown at.

In Return of the Jedi, the speeder bike, technically the 74-Z speeder, reached 500 kilometers per hour and hovered through dense forests like it had a death wish. It was fast, dangerous, and the kind of thing Anakin Skywalker would absolutely get grounded for. Volonaut’s version may hover, but it does not hurtle. Its aesthetic leans futuristic, but its performance still registers as more luxury drone than military-grade chase vehicle. It is less Endor, more airshow intermission.

From the lack of Endor essence to the sticker shock, Volonaut’s speeder bike has fans speeder-spilling their critiques across the galaxy.

While some engineering fans admire Volonaut’s ambition, most Star Wars loyalists are unimpressed by the numbers. A speeder bike that costs 880,000 United States dollars and tops out at a mere 63 miles per hour has many wondering whether this was built for flight or for flex. For that price, fans expect something with the zip of a podracer, not the pace of an extremely confident lawnmower. The speed, they argue, is more Jar Jar than Jedi.

Others have approached the situation with their sabers set to sarcasm. One viral comment joked that Lord Volde-naut flying this hoverbike was a more believable crossover than the $880,000 price tag. The meme featured a noseless rider cloaked in rage. Meanwhile, others imagined the sheer thrill of launching into a tree at 63 miles per hour. If nothing else, Volonaut has earned its stripes in the fan-fiction section.

As the reviews continue to pour in, one thing is clear: Volonaut’s speeder bike may not have launched a rebellion, but it certainly sparked a discourse. Between design debates and internet punchlines, the project has hovered straight into meme territory. And as Star Wars ventures into yet another frizzy galaxy, now backed by a 300 million United States dollar merchandising empire, the line between sci-fi dreams and luxury reality continues to blur like a badly rendered lightspeed jump.
