Last Jedi’s Ski Speeders are Intentional ‘Heaps of Crap’
"Underwhelming" is not a word you would immediately expect to associate with an epic movie franchise - particularly one on the scale and size of the Star Wars universe - but, according to Pablo Hidalgo from the Lucasfilm story group, that's exactly how the latest vehicles in a galaxy far, far away should make you feel.
As reported by EW, the ski speeders feature in the forthcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi (you may remember them as the unbalanced-looking surface skimmers kicking up red dust in the movie's first teaser). Described by Hidalgo as "basically heaps of crap", the ski speeders are designed to demonstrate exactly how outmatched the Resistance fighters are in their battle against the First Order.

Star Wars: Daisy Ridley Says She’s Done Playing Rey After Episode IX
Daisy Ridley sees an end in sight for her time spent portraying Rey, and it's specifically with Star Wars: Episode IX.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Ridley said she expects to be done with Star Wars after Episode IX hits theaters in 2019. Ridley believes the third film in this new sequel trilogy will be the perfect way to end Rey's story.
"I am really, really excited to do the third thing and round it out, because ultimately, what I was signing on to was three films," Ridley said. "So in my head, it's three films. I think it will feel like the right time to round it out."
