how was this scene shot
>>63674894
With pottery
>>63674894
literally smoke and mirrors

explain
they attacked it to a car underneath and used various special effects to disguise it.
I think they quite possibly used optical printer and paint at points too
>>63674894
Why did Luke tell 3PO to "hit the accelerator"? wasn't he the one driving

They smeared vaseline on the part of the film where the wheels are
>>63675000
Not for those shots. They used a buggy and edited out the wheels. The gimbal was used on close up scenes like when Luke jumps out of the speeded
In the original it was obvious where they edited it since there was a blue glow under the speeder

Old and broken technology is kind of Star Wars's thing. Or at least it was.
