This is an absoulutely amazing video. Man has yet to recreate what nature has been able to do for eons.

    You are correct..."Return of the Jedi"...The speeder bike chase scene through the forest. There are several YouTube videos of the scene.

    However, IMO even CGI can't compete with the incredible ability of the Gos Hawk.

    Wow. That Gos Hawk has a HUGE tail! I guess it really does help it. Besides the fact that he can fly through such small spaces so fast which is amazing, I can't even imagine how far ahead he must be looking and planning to be able to keep it up for so long. Just amazing.

    No thinking involved. It's intinct with wild creatures. So I guess it is kinda like "the Force" lol
