"Welcome to the forest moon of Endor," Anakin said, looking entirely too pleased about getting to use a Real Place today. "Today we have taken you out of the simulators and are letting you get some real experience, so please don't splat yourself into a tree and ruin everyone's day."

"Which can absolutely happen when you're zipping around a lot of big, solid trees at high speeds," said Jaina, who'd heard allll about her family's time here ad nauseaum and knew this for a fact. "If you're not sure what you're doing, feel free to go slower."

"Even if you are sure what you're doing, don't be crazy," Anakin said, glancing sideways at Ahsoka if she was there. "And while there are weapons on these speeder bikes, don't use them. The local inhabitants are intelligent and quite adept with their own weapons."

"And if they have reason to come after you, you're going to be embarrassed real fast," Jaina smiled.

Because they were adorable teddy bears. "Yub yub," Anakin agreed blandly.

Shorter length, fewer trees to dodge. Please don't crash and die.

Frank zipped around trees for a reasonably paced definition of "zip," and got to the end with both his speeder bike and his life intact. There were probably some life forms on the forest floor who had a spiritual experience as a young man zipped way too close to where they were ducking in the grass, but none of them were adorable teddy bears so they apparently did not count. And anyway, no injuries!
