Anakin riding Owen Lars' swoop bike.
A swoop bike, often simply called a swoop, represented a type of high-velocity repulsorlift vehicle. Essentially, it was a more perilous iteration of a speeder bike, frequently described by both supporters and critics as merely an "engine with a seat." Though swoops possessed greater power compared to speeder bikes, they were unrefined and primitive. Mastering them demanded instinct, physical strength, and precise timing due to their challenging handling.
Across many planets in the galaxy, swoop races gained immense popularity, celebrated for their thrilling nature and association with outlaws. While searching for his mother, Shmi Skywalker Lars, on the desert world of Tatooine, Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi Padawan, utilized a Zephyr-G swoop belonging to his stepbrother, Owen Lars. Furthermore, the criminal organization known as the Ohnaka Gang employed swoops for patrolling the vicinity of their base situated on the planet Florrum.
