When the Clonewar was reaching one of it's highlights, Obi Wan Kenobi was on Tatooine, to pick up and deliver 2 children who would change the faith of the entire Galaxy.

This Eta wing used to fly across the dunes of Tatooine and safely reach the Lars Homestead. It's high ground clearence is caused by the thrust engines which are located at the front. They are used to steer (by altering the thurst levels) and the repulsor engines at the back provide the needed forward motion.

To keep contact with his ship, Obi Wan has a large antenna installed and a small headset to directly talk to his R3 unit.

The speeder is based on the regular landspeeders found in Mos Eisly and Mos Espa, but it is more a kind of racer then reall city vehicle. A version with the front thrust engines at the sides of the speeder is also availeble.
