Australian man Tez Gelmir is not going to let his daughter grow up without knowing the wonders of Star Wars.

For her first birthday, he built her a rocker in the form of the speeder Princess Leia rides to evade the Scout Troopers in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi using only plywood, a 3D-printed hull and some electronics for the lights and sounds.

If you'd like to do the same for your young padawans, Gelmir has added a how-to on Instructables.

You know she's going to grow up to be an avid Star Wars fan -- just look at that smile and Princess Leia head wear.
