Also on display is the young Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder from Episode IV: A New Hope, which Connell believes is a remarkable device because it has unique "repulsorlift" technology.

"When you see the film it is sweeping across the horizon at a constant height. When it stops it sits there, and when somebody gets out it sits there," he said. "So I'm not sure what type of lift this is. It seems to not only work up and down (like anti-gravity), but also sideways. What sort of technology could that be?

"I also wonder why it sits so close to the ground. It's obviously because of the wheels, but as Luke was looking for R2-D2 he should have gone up to get a better view of the horizon."

Connell is intrigued but this type of Star Wars phenomenon and wonders what technology would we need to get things to hover like that.

"Wheels allow us to stay stable unilaterally, but if you remove the wheels?"
