    That thing was 60km wide? Well, some 40km might be still salvageable. Get that throne room! I guess it was in the center, so chances are good that Snokes wardrobe is still unspoiled.

    Does anybody else find that design of the Canto Bight police speeders a bit flimsy or to spiky?

    On the other hand, it’s cool to see at last a live actions representation of the now canon Corporate Sector. Those Han Solo books were the first Star Wars novels ever that I’ve read. I wonder if this is the now canon version of the Espos:

    Hah, I still got that West End Games Source book somewhere…

    They do look Star Wars, but I will take the Ski-Speeder anytime, even if it were falling apart. Still, the Canto Bight police speeder isn't as bad when compared to this monstrosity:

    Really? I always thought the old Cloud Car worked well with the kind of galactic art-deco design of Bespin.

    The Canto Bight police speeders just look like a mash up of a PT era STAP and a TIE to me - if someone were arrested by these guys, where would they travel?

    I like the twin car of cloud city too. And you are right, they combine with the style of the city.

    I see the speeders of Canto Bight more like our police motorcicle, just to follow the criminal and give suport. Not to carry prisioners.

    I guess the motor cycle analogy will do for me, still those Police speeders still remind me of an electric kitchen tool or a Kenner toy from the eighties.
    When it comes to motorcycles analogies, I always wanted to have something like this since my early childhood days:

    Talking about childhood vehicles, I only had one of those as the ‘real’ movie vehicles were too expensive (well, except that cool speeder bike!).

    I’m happy that they decided on re-inventing the Kenner Stormtrooper transport for ‘Rebels’, and not this ugly.

    They probably shoot you on sight, just as they jail you for parking in the wrong place.

    You can see that, they are in motion on "rails"

    Wow anyone else bummed out by the fact that the Dreadnaught is not featured with a cross section in the incredible cross sections. The ship that dominates the entire opening of the movie doesn't get its own cross section?
