No they are definetely real motorised land vehicles (In terms of reality rather than the Star Wars universe), I imagine they have wheels underneath (if not it could only be caterpillar tracks, I'd say it's most likely they have wheels instead of this). They are probably electric factory buggies with space-age cladding on them.
Also I've just done some quick research and it turns out Luke's hovering Landspeeder was actually a real car underneath and they used mirrors and other techniques to hide the wheels (Lucas redid it all with digital technology when he re-released the trilogy in 1997): http://www.starwars.com/databank/vehicle/xp34landspeeder/index.html
Anyway the way I see it:
Reason for listing these: They are not CGI or models, they are real motorised vehicles. And maybe it would be nice to have Star Wars included on IMCDB.
Reason for not listing: They probably aren't identifiable as any known vehicle and since there aren't any "real vehicles" in Star Wars (because it's set in a completely fictional universe) it may not be of interest to motoring fans (although Star Wars fans would be happy).
But I don't want to bother making a page for these films if they're only going to go in the comments.
