DEATH STAR DESIGNER GAME UPDATE

ItвЂ™s clean, is a beautiful yellow and silver, and is rounded in design as opposed to the angular look of the original trilogyвЂ™s ships. Introduced in The Phantom Menace, the N-1 doesnвЂ™t really look like anything else in Star Wars - prequel or original trilogy - and years later, thatвЂ™s what makes it innovative.

These things were everywhere during the Battle of Endor, and showed that the Empire was still pushing forward in all facets of militaristic domination.ДЇor a Star Wars one-man fighter, the Naboo N-1 is truly original. With elongated and split wings, the TIE interceptor is the most threatening-looking of all the EmpireвЂ™s starfighters - and the fastest.

DEATH STAR DESIGNER GAME UPDATE

The TIE interceptor, which made its first appearance in Return of the Jedi, is a sleek update of the classic TIE fighter design. The pointed tip is threatening, but also conveys speed while the ship is closest in look to the A-wing, itвЂ™s still easily identifiable and as piloted by Obi-Wan Kenobi through an asteroid field while pursued by Jango Fett, the Delta-7 can twist, turn, and barrel roll with the best of them, and is just a fun starfighter to watch. ( EditorвЂ™s note: This became a topic of debate during the teamвЂ™s ranking of the best starfighters - does the need to use a hyperdrive ring make them more or less cool?) While Revenge of the Sith would introduce an updated version, the Delta-7 remains a popular design. Not designed for deep-space flight, Jedi starfighters have to dock with a hyperdrive ring to travel at lightspeed. ItвЂ™s simultaneously original - bulkier than a typical starfighter, requiring three clone trooper pilots to fully operate the craft - but also points towards the look of the X-wing, and as a result is a significant aesthetic bridge to the original trilogy.ДЇirst seen in Attack of the Clones, the Jedi starfighter is an arrowhead-shaped craft used by Jedi while on missions away from Coruscant. Visually, however, is where the ARC-170 truly shines. Dramatically, it plays a key role in the opening of Revenge of the Sith, as clones dogfight in thrilling fashion above Coruscant, and protect Obi-Wan and Anakin in their mission to rescue to Chancellor Palpatine. The ARC-170, the starfighter of choice for the RepublicвЂ™s clone troopers, is successful on many levels. With a cold, curvy design and bland color scheme that matches the look of battle droids and AATs, the droid starfighter reinforces some of Star WarsвЂ central themes: man versus machine, individuality versus conformity, and democracy versus dictatorship. Controlled by droid brains, these starfighters are fast, deadly, and require no pilot they can also land, invert their wings and walk, making them versatile and unique from any other craft on this list - and itвЂ™s a feature that gives them an added dimension of creepiness. Also, this is a starfighter-only list - craft that are part of a mass fleet - thus, there is no Millennium Falcon, Slave I, Death Star, etc.Дebuting in The Phantom Menace, the droid starfighter is essentially the TIE fighter of the prequel trilogy - the most identifiable aerial weapon of choice for the Trade Federation and later, the Separatists.

Ranking was also decided by the craftsвЂ™ design, role in the saga, and to put it simply, overall cool factor.

Note: This list is not based strictly on technical specs or firepower of starfighters. Today, we pick the top starfighters in the Star Wars films. Welcome to The 10, a feature where вЂ™s editorial staff huddles to discuss - in a committee - various topics relating to a galaxy far, far away.
