Dunno if I can pull it off, but I will try. That's pretty high up there.

Missed it by 22 points. 9977. Probably my final score.

Tips:

Attack from behind, try to aim for the top section as much as possible in case the bomb hatch opens. When there aren't guided missiles, you can see that there are some angles the walkers can hit you from. Even if you can't slide into that groove, you can still dodge their fire easily. Aim for the top, drop straight down when they fire and keep shooting. Drop a second time when they fire again and if you did it right you should be shooting the top of the legs. Keep shooting. When you have to dodge the third time, try to dodge upward a bit but not into the sky.

Don't take risks. After your speeder has been hit once or twice, get it repaired. The 20 seconds of Force time allows you to weaken more walkers.

As stated, weaken the lead walker first. Always weaken the lead walker in any group. If you blow a bomb hatch, go weaken the next walker and then wipe out any that are ahead of you. Once all walkers are yellow, start with the second to last one and kill them all from left to right.
When you clear the screen of all but one walker, kill it and go all the way to the left. Kill walkers as they appear, then when they get too fast, use the strategy above. Use that 20 seconds of Force time to catch up. This is why it is imperative to not take risks--you need that invincibility!

Oh, get a controller that allows you to use your fingers to shoot instead of your thumb. Most people's fingers work about 4x faster than their thumbs. If you use your wrist as a pivot point, that will help a well.

Fortunately I was taping it. ;)

Pre-roll, I am just about to hit that hatch on the back. POW!

One hit and the hatch blows to give me 101 points for an even 10k!

I guess so... he's mentioned in the Arcade HSC that he's been pretty busy lately, but I'm surprised he didn't get a score in.
