The new Hot Wheels Star Wars lineup hits store shelves in October. The vehicles themselves make their debut at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con Hot Wheels booth. Here’s what your favored characters look like when they’re prepped for orange track.

Chewbacca: Han Solo’s trusted Wookiee companion really would make a hell of a workhorse. Hot Wheels reimagines him as a large, brawny, Unimog-style flatbed. Which, incidentally, is carrying the Falcon.

R2-D2: R2-D2 goes all American Graffiti in Hot Wheels form. He’s not a poor option for a hot rod, actually. R2 is always the a single known as upon to fix issues, so he’d primarily be a upkeep-free of charge Astromech T-bucket.

Luke Skywalker (X-Wing Pilot): Count on several variations for Luke considering that he sported several various appears all through the original trilogy. Modeling a sports automobile right after his flight suit and helmet is a good start off. The giant intercooler tends to make a statement, but don’;t forget: Don’t get cocky, Kid.

Yoda: Think about an original Fiat 500 Abarth, only blown and modeled right after a frail-seeking small green alien who’s not almost as helpless as he appears, and you’ve got the new Yoda automobile.

Darth Vader: He’s sleek. He’s black. He’s menacing. He’s Darth Vader. Duh.

501st Clone Trooper: The 501st Legion is the greatest, most organized group of Star Wars cosplayers in the . . . properly, in the galaxy, almost certainly. They’ve gotten love in the previous (nods in the Clone Wars cartoon, a Hasbro action figure, and so forth.), and Hot Wheels pays tribute once again here with this SUV modeled right after a Clone Trooper.
