Wallpaper Description:

Luke Skywalker's Mazda MX 5 Land Speeder


The Mazda MX-5 is the kind of quiet and unassuming sports car that has become more popular than even Mazda intended it to be. In some ways, it’s a direct reflection of Luke Skywalker, the mild-mannered yet ambitious central protagonist of the first Star Wars trilogy who rose through the ranks despite all the odds stacked against him.

In keeping with Skywalker’s roots, the MX-5 was designed after the young Jedi’s X-34 Land Speeder, the open-seated civilian land speeder Skywalker used during his formative years in Tatooine. The body graphics of the MX-5 reflects the X-34’s color scheme, right down to the latter’s hood design. The side propulsion engines are noticeably absent on the MX-5, but that’s the only thing lacking from an otherwise stellar representation of young Luke’s beloved X-34.

I also like how the Mazda MX-5 also has those blue headlamps representing Skywalker’s light saber. More than just the seemingly quirky addition, those lights serve as a nice bridge between Skywalker’s childhood and the Jedi master he would eventually become.
