and in 2019 The Rise Of Skywalker, you will not be able to miss the Spaceship that Star Wars and Porsche collaborated work. The starships that appear in the Star Wars series are also popular. I am also the one who has been excited about Han Solo’s spaceship “Millennium Falcon” and the main fighter “X Wing Star fighter” of the Rebel Alliance.
In the latest movie, it has become a hot topic that the appearing of spaceship was designed by two brands, “Lucas film” and “Porsche”. Can you believe the sports car motor company is actually did the design for new Star Wars?
Let’s take a look at the spaceship.
It’s a futuristic body of the spaceship that feels like Star Wars, but it’s a cool spaceship that makes you feel as stylish as a sports car. Since it has a speedy design, it is likely to appear in battle scenes in outer space.
The name of the spaceship is “Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter”. According to Porsche, a total of seven designers from both brands cooperate. The design was developed by close collaboration for about 6 weeks. The styling is a fusion of the design DNA of both brands.
AMzFusion of Star Wars and Porsche designs!
Take a look at the design details of the Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter. According to Porsche, the shape of the cabin that narrows toward the rear and the shape from the roofline of the cockpit to the turbine reflect the characteristic design found in the Porsche 911 and Porsche Taycan.
At the front, a four-light daytime running light (DRL), which is typical in Porsche design, and an air curtain and headlight that reminds me of Porsche Taycan are adopted. A long barrel called “blaster” at the front tip. At the rear of the cockpit, a white and blue sphere, which seems to be a Droid “R2D2” that appears in Star Wars, is looking out.
The rear is a “tail lamp” with a design that is inspired by the new Porsche 911, and is integrated with the vertical slit louver. At the base of the wing is a “light bar” that glows red.
The cockpit instruments are laid out in consideration of the seating position of the pilot. The low sitting position is said to be the ergonomic style of the Porsche 918 Spider.
According to Porsche, the spaceship needs to have an iconic design that makes an impression and can be recognized in the scene where it appears in just a few seconds. Furthermore, it is a new front for Porsche because it is different from the usual car design, and the designers seemed to feel pressure.

Porsche’s official YouTube channel publishes a making video of the spaceship’s design process.

The video begins with Doug Chen (Lucas Films VP Executive Creative Director) explaining the concept, followed by episodes of designer conflicts and completion, several design patterns, and the philosophy of Porsche and Lucas film design. You can feel the passion for this project. Its really interesting to see how they connect with sports car brand Porsche and Movie StarWars and collaborate together.
A spaceship designed with various feelings like this. What kind of scene will it appear in the movie? When watching the movie “Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker”, you should also pay attention to the spaceship designed by Porsche. If you didn’t realized that, you can always check the movie again.
