This Video Uses Drones To Recreate Speeder Bike Chase In 'Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi'

Like Harry Potter fans can't help themselves from recreating the wizarding game Quidditch, the iconic speeder bike chase on the leafy planet of Endor from the last movie in the original Star Wars trilogy, The Return of the Jedi, is just too good not to remake if given the opportune tools. In this remake, the Jedi speeder bike chase substitutes one type of hovercraft for another: drones.

Directed by Eric Maloney and Jeff Blank, the duo shot the scene in Northern California, using Star Wars figurines in lieu of Stormtroopers and Luke Skywalker, all set to a lush score. Drones? Yes. A nice cinematic tribute? Also yes.

Check out the speeder bike remake in the video clip below.
