Who flies now, you ask? Stormtroopers!

This new and thoroughly entertaining clip from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker asks and answers the question of what First Order troops would do if they had jetpacks. And the answer is: take flight off the backs of tank-treaded speeder bikes with rear ejection seats.

Stop looking at me like that, it's right there in the clip. How else would you describe these things?
