Description

Initially, the Zebulon Dak Speeder Corporation brought this speeder bike to market, naming it after the well-known swoop racer, Thrall Joben. A distinctive aspect of the Joben T-85 speeder bike was its elevated handlebars. Kanan's Joben T-85 speeder bike had a unique single headlight.

History

Ahsoka Tano's speeder bike

Following her departure from the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars, former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano acquired a T-85 speeder bike. Trace Martez later nicknamed it "Trash" because of its frequent malfunctions. When Bo-Katan Kryze recruited her, she entrusted the bike to the sisters "just in case."

Kanan's Joben T-85 speeder bike

The rebel Jedi Kanan Jarrus made use of a Joben T-85 speeder bike. Kanan and Ezra traveled to the Bendu's location using Kanan’s speeder bike. Due to Kanan’s blindness, Ezra took the driver's seat while Kanan rode as a passenger. Jarrus was seen riding another T-85 bike, painted black, as he and the other Spectres prepared for the assault on Lothal. After the attack's failure, Kanan attempted to rescue Hera Syndulla with his new T-85, but the White Loth-wolf intervened, leading him to Mart Mattin. Garazeb Orrelios employed his T-85 bike to assist in launching the Loth-bat gliders.

In 3 ABY, Vrell, a Trandoshan bouncer, purchased a brand-new Joben T-85 speeder, which he then modified.

Behind the scenes

The Joben T-85 speeder bike made its debut in the eleventh episode of Star Wars Rebels' first season, an animated television series. The 2014 reference book Star Wars Rebels: The Visual Guide by Adam Bray identified the Joben T-85 speeder bike's name, components, and manufacturer, all of which allude to Star Wars Legends characters from the 1985 animated television series Star Wars: Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO. The name Joben is a reference to Thall Joben, while the manufacturer Zebulon Dak Speeder Corporation alludes to the Legends company of the same name, and indirectly to the character Zebulon Dak. Similarly, the components Dusat aft-firing EMP emitter and Moll K-19 power generator are named after Jord Dusat and Kea Moll, respectively.
