Luke's T-16 skyhopper

Canon Legends version → Linked from 7 articles

Luke's T-16 skyhopper was was the customized T-16 skyhopper owned by Luke Skywalker. He used to shoot womp rats while piloting it. At one point, while flying his T-16 skyhopper, he nearly killed himself on a reckless burnout run in Beggar's Canyon, which burned the skyhopper's instrumentation, leaving it inoperable. Lacking a real T-16 to fly, Skywalker turned to playing with his model T-16. Skywalker's exploits with his T-16 demonstrated prodigious flying ability, making him a local legend.
