Spaceport Speeders was a speeder shop in Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine. The business rented, sold, and bought landspeeders and airspeeders.[2]
Most of the speeders available to buy were older and not well-maintained and the proprietor was known for buying his stock at a price far below the speeders' fair market value. For this reason, most of Tatooine's farmers bought and traded their used landspeeders in Anchorhead.[3]
The proprietor of Spaceport Speeders was an Arcona called Unut Poll. Wioslea the Vuvrian and Geordi Hans also worked there.[1]
Spaceport Speeders was where Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi sold Luke's X-34 landspeeder before meeting with Han Solo and Chewbacca at Docking Bay 94.
Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Spaceport Speeders only had three vehicles for sale; an old Mobquet A-1 Deluxe Floater, a rebuilt Ubrikkian model, and Luke Skywalker's landspeeder which was priced at 4,000 credits.[2]
