Last seen as a work-in-progress scratch-built 1:1 scaled Snowspeeder, the single-seated Star Wars spacecraft made it's way to 2nd floor of Balai Kartini in Jakarta - not by itself of course - to hold court in last weekend's Star Wars Day Jakarta!

Least you think the speeder landed on the convention floor via flying thru the sunroof of the building, I was told the folks had 5 hours to assemble the speeder on site, with the result what you see here in these pics. Made by the folks from Zero Toys in Bandung, this was one of the highlights of the show, IMHO.



Folks had the opportunity for photo-ops, and for a small fee, you could climb into the cockpit for snaps too! On hand were two female Rebel Pilots - one of whom was the adorable "Misel" seen in the video first posted (Swell to meet you, Michelle ~ *iBlush*)!

I curse my diminished physicality to be unable to climb in for a snap, but perhaps one day soon when I recover … meanwhile, I shall live my dreams vicariously thru the attendees!
