That hover bike is going to be my main form of transportation at Burning Man this year. But I'm going to arrive by SkyCrane, naturally.

Two humans, two droids and no questions asked. That was the expensive part, as Han points out.

NOTE: Luke Skywalker's land speeder sale (2000) only covered the down payment on the Tattooine-Alderaan run. Obi-Wan Kenobi had to promise Han Solo an additional 15,000 when they reached Alderaan.

@3,

Although Solo himself admitted it was too much and that the "old man" must have been desperate.

But at that price, Luke and Kenobi could have bought their own spaceship.

But then again, who would fly it?

Well, Luke probably could have... he's not a half bad pilot himself.

@5,

And, given that Mos Eisley is a wretched hive of scum and villainy, it's a good bet that they would have gotten a lousy deal on a ship, assuming it was even spaceworthy.

Just what humans need: another unbearably loud fossile fuel burning way to become obese and impracticably get nowhere really dangerously fast.
