Business: Star Wars movie a cash machine for others

The popularity of the Star Wars movie franchise is still going strong, and many industries have cashed in on its success. Lately, a childsize Star Wars land speeder has gone on sale. The $499 vehicle by Radio Flyer is modeled after the sand-pocked and sun-faded X-34 craft driven by Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: A New Hope. The kid-size speeder provides a truly galactic driving experience for children, with seats for two riders, an interactive dashboard with lights, real movie sounds and a top speed of 8 kilometers per hour.
