The Droids TV series and comics were loaded with new spacecraft, speeders and other vehicles that had never been seen anywhere else in the Star Wars universe and have never been seen again. While it's difficult to put together a complete list of vehicles due to the sheer number of them, here is a sampling of some of the truly unique craft that appeared in Droids.
TV Series Vehicles
Thall Joben's Stinger landspeeder![]() The Stinger was the original speeder used by Thall Joben when he found C-3PO and R2-D2 wandering in the desert. The Stinger was later sabotaged by the Fromm gang and abandoned by Thall Joben following an attack by Tig Fromm's droids.
The White Witch![]() What a beauty! The White Witch is a racing speeder owned by Thall Joben and Jord Dusat. Notice that it has a slot for an astromech droid to be seated behind the co-pilot, much like a starfighter. This super speeder was almost made by Kenner back in the mid 80's to go along with their Droids action figure lineup. It's a shame that it never got past the prototype phase.

Jord Dusat's landspeeder![]() Jord was racing this speeder across the salt flats of Ingo when he and his friend Thall Joben discovered the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO wandering through the desert. Not long after Thall retrieved the droids in the Stinger, Jord's speeder was destroyed when the speeders strayed too close to the Fromm Gang's hidden base. Jord bailed out just before the explosion in his inflatable crash suit.
The Sand Sloth![]() The Sand Sloth is the freighter piloted by Kea Moll. Kea used the Sand Sloth to carry Thall Joben, Jord Dusat, the droids and the White Witch to the Boonta Speeder Race.
