 FOREWORD
Working with a talented team of multidisciplinary artists, writers, engineers, and creators of all kinds is one
of my favorite things about my job. The vehicles in Star Wars—and in this book—have each lived a long
life to get to this point with contributions from literally dozens of creators with widely different areas of
expertise.. Some who come from
expertise f rom industrial
industrial design backgrounds,
backgrounds, like the legendary Ralph McQuarrie who
drew some of the first Star Wars vehicle concepts. Others, engineers who understand how to build a stunt
vehicle from scratch that can power a speeder that will really drive on set at 100 kph (60 mph). Last, the
illustrators who put it all together with every detail in the right place as seen in this book—the final state.
Each person adds their unique stamp to the designs. But it all starts with the film.

Movies are magic. One of the most magical places on a film production is the Art Department:
D epartment: the team
whose job it is to dream big and illustrate those ideas for the filmmakers. Walking into those rooms you
witness pure creativity filling the walls. Early during the production of Solo: A Star Wars Story, I remember
dozens of designs for Lando’s Falcon on monitors around the room, drawings on every wall, and even
rough mockups. The art takes all forms: illustrations, blueprints, models made out of foam core,
and high-tech
high- tech 3D printouts. The room smells like creativity.
creativity. And glue.

For the film, each of the designs is refined through an iterative process to arrive at the final concept.
Then, each of the movie’s sets and vehicles are engineered, built, filmed, and the visual effects are finished
at Industrial Light & Magic. Finally, the illustrators, whose book you are holding now, can get to work.
They take the finished product as seen in the movie and fit each of the pieces together into a cohesive
whole. They are truly interdisciplinary artists—calculating both how all the rooms fit into a tightly
packed TX-225 Occupier, while also squeezing in the turret drive motors to make sure those treads
have power. Every little detail in its place.

Naturally, when we are filming the movies the designers and engineers pay careful attention to create
believable designs,

movie -making process it only has to look like it works. We take shortcuts.
It’ss not until they start drawing the cross- sections of ships like the Tantive IV that these artists get to route

This sort of creativity is exactly the same flavor we use when making the films—first we look at the theme,
the story, the emotion we are looking to create—and then we back into the logistics and the form to make
it all feel believable—form following function making a cohesive whole.

As a Star Wars fan, this book is a true joy. I love all the care that Richard Chasemore, Hans Jenssen,

 INTRODUCTION
Galactic civilization relies on technologies that have existed for millennia.
Faster-than-light communication and travel are routine, and even commonplace
devices often boast vast amounts of computing power. Droids serve as cheap
and expendable labor on countless planets, taking myriad forms to perform
tasks too complicated, dangerous, or tedious for their organic
masters. The galaxy’s factions also have access
to weapons of terrifying power, and defensive
capabilities meant to neutralize them.
Throughout the long history of the galaxy, war
has always spurred technological innovation.

10
VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY
HYPERDRIVES
Hyperdrives allow ships to travel faster t han light,
crossing the void between stars through the
alternate dimension of hyper space. Hyperspace
fuels, such as coaxium, power a ship into
hyperspace while preserving its mass/energy
profile, sending it along a programmed course until
it drops back into normal space at its destination.
Large objects in norm al space cast “mass shadows”
in hyperspace, so hyperspace jumps must be
precisely calculated to avoid deadly collisions.
ENERGY WEAPONS
Laser cannons and turbolasers are based on the
same principle as handheld blasters: Energy-rich
gas is converted to a glowing particle beam that
can melt through targets. The largest such weapons
are powerful enough t o crack a planet’s core.
Starships also use ion cannons, which overwhelm
electronic systems with ionized energy bursts, and
physical ordnance such as concussion missiles
and proton torpedoes, whose energy warheads
release clouds of high-velocity proton particles.
GRAVITY MANIPULATORS
A number of g alactic technologies work by
manipulating gravity. Repulsorlifts allow a craft to
hover or fly over a planet’s surface by pushing against
its gravity, producing thrust, while acceleration
compensators keep starship crews alive during
high- speed maneuvers. Tractor
Tractor beams manipulate
gravitational forces to push or pull objects, while
interdiction fields create gravitational shadows that
interfere with faster-than-light travel, pinning ships in
normal space or yanking them out of hyperspace.
POWER SOURCES
Vehicles use a range of power technologies, most
of which date back to t he Republic’s earliest days.
The most common are chemical, fission, or fusion
reactors, which consume a variety of fuels based on
local resources. Large starships opt for fusion
systems that contain hypermatter-annihilation
cores, generating vast amounts o f power. Many
starship fuels are hazardous to o rganic beings,
circulating in ship systems as corrosive liquids
or combustible and poisonous gases.
SENSORS
Sensors gather information about the area
surrounding a vehicle, highlighting threats and
hazards. Passive-mode sensors repeatedly scan
the same area, scan-mode sensors have a longer
range and collect data by emitting pulses in all
directions, and search-mode sensors focus on a
specific area for analysis. Data accumulated from
scans is then fed into a sensor comput er and
relayed to a vehicle’s operator. Most starships ha ve
sensor suites that analyze a wide range o f spectra.
SHIELDS
Shields are protective force fields that repel solid
objects or absorb energy. Concussion shields repel
space debris, while two varieties of deflector shield
protect craft in battle. Ray shields deflect
or scatter energy beams, while par ticle shields
diffuse impacts from high-velocity projectiles and
proton weapons. A shield’s intensity gradually
diminishes with distance from it s projector.
Most starships use a combination of ray and
particle shielding for the most reliable protection.
11
THE REPUBLIC ERA
The democratic government named the Galactic Republic has ensured peace
in the galaxy for hundreds of years. During this era, artistic expression and functional
practicality drive vehicle design, with the sleek and elegant Naboo N-1 starfighter
exemplifying this ancient tradition. When peace is threatened, the Republic calls on
the negotiating skills of its guardians, the Jedi Order.
During one such mission, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan,
Obi-Wan Kenobi, are sent to the planet Naboo to stop the Trade Federation’s
blockade of the world. This greedy corporation combines its commercial and military
aims by converting its cargo vessels into transportation for its droid armies. The Jedi
help Naboo’s leader, Queen Amidala, defeat the blockade and discover a young
boy named Anakin Skywalker, who is incredibly strong in the Force. However,
Qui-Gon falls in battle to a Sith Lord, revealing to the Jedi that their ancient enemies
appear to have survived their assumed destruction millennia ago.
The Jedi do not realize that the blockade and the next decade of political
upheaval are due to the Sith’s machinations. The Republic’s

Republic. Ready for war, the Separatists have
built up a vast army, comprised of functional, expendable, mass-produced droids.
Thanks to Palpatine’s manipulations, the Republic passes the Military Creation
Act, legitimizing the Republic’s use of a conveniently ready-made, well-equipped,
and highly trained clone army to counter the Separatist’s droid forces. Anakin,
now a Jedi, is apprenticed to Obi-Wan. And as the galaxy teeters on the brink
of war, the friendship between Anakin and now-Senator Padmé Amidala
blossoms into a forbidden love and a secret marriage.
When the Clone Wars break out between the Republic and the
Separatists, the galaxy faces untold destruction. The war is but a pretext
for Sidious and, at the war’s end, expertly brings about the annihilation
of the Jedi Order, Anakin’s defection to the Sith, and the fall of the
Republic itself. Following his victories, Sidious declares the
formation of the Galactic Empire with himself as Emperor.
Padmé is horrified to learn of Anakin’s treachery and
dies soon after childbirth. Jedi survivors hide her
twins, Luke and Leia, hopeful they might
become Jedi in the future.

INVASION
DROID INVASION FORCES
The Neimoidian Trade Federation uses a standard plan to invade
worlds they hope to dominate. First, an armada of battleships
surrounds the targeted world. The battleships deploy Xi Char–
manufactured droid starfighters to disable any satellite weapons and
communications systems, and send C-9979 landing ships to the
world’s surface. Each landing ship carries Trade Federation battle
world’s bat tle
droids,, tanks, and transports. An orbital Droid Control Ship directs
droids
the droids to attack, capture, or destroy
de stroy the enemy’s strategic
defenses. Every battle droid obeys orders with ruthless efficiency. Each retrofitted Trade Federation cargo ship carries 50 landin g ships for
transporting war machines and droids to planetary surfaces. Externally,
they resemble the Trade Federation’s standard commercial cargo barges.

When plans for the ground forces of the Trade Federation secret army had begun to take
shape, methods of deployment came under consideration. Haor Chall Engineering produced Aft-wing

a design for a landing craft that would carry attack vehicles and troops to ground sites from generator
Trade Federation battleships, and, after a period of much-debated development, the C-9979
variant was chosen by the Trade Federation armaments committee. Related in design to
commercial cargo barges in the trade fleet, these huge, double-winged ships were built
for the sole purpose of transporting AATs (Armored Assault Tanks), troop carriers, and MTTs
(Multi-Troop Transports) from orbiting battleships to strategic positions on planet surfaces.
The C-9979 offers tremendous antigravity lifting capacity, which is necessary for the heavy,
armored cargo. With its defensive laser cannons, the mighty C-9979 presents a bizarre

These are also run by droids, and are used to service and maintain the

The sub uses rotating fins to cycle water through an electromotive field
that actually drives the ship. The fins contain flat, flexible electronic units
linked in series, which send electrical impulses down their length,
pushing the water along. Combined with the rotating fins, this
electromotive field can grab onto and displace a great deal of water,
hurtling the sub through the sea at great speed. The power

GUNGAN SUB
This kind of submersible is a common utility transport in Otoh Gunga. The forward cockpit bubble carries only
a pilot and passengers, but the side bubbles can carry either passengers or cargo, depending on whether they
are fitted with seats. The sub’s distinctive form originates from both the Gungans’ construction methods and their
love of artistic design. The Gungans produce many of their structures using a secret method that actually “grows”

This gives Gungan constructions a distinctive organic look,
which is then complemented by artistic detail, even on simple vehicles like the sub. Gungan organically
generated shells can be combined to make complex constructions, and then modified and fitted with electronic
and mechanical components to give them the needed functionality. The organic skeletons are exceptionally
strong, though still susceptible to damage by some of the larger sea monsters encountered in deep waters.

THE STORY OF THE SPORT

Podracing has its origins in ancient contests of animal- drawn

and risk. The famous first experimental race ensured podracing’s
reputation as an incredibly dangerous and popular sport.

When podracers line up on th e arena’s starting grid, some pilots deliberately

position their vehicles so the heat from their engines will hamper the path or
vision of the pilots behind them.

THE DROID CONTROL SHIP

The single critically important vessel among the Trade Federation
fleet of battleships is the Vuutun Palaa. Custom-fitted with massive
transmitters, receiver antennas, monitor sensors, and numerous
additional reactors and power substations to run them, this
Droid Control ShipShip contains tremendous computer banks and the
Control Brain Network, which transmits the signals vital to
the functioning of every battle droid in the Trade Federation

army. The Vuutun Palaa broadcasts the control signals
that direct each droid’
droid’ss actions, making up for the ver y
limited onboard logic systems of the minimalist droids.
Without this constant signal and its stabilizing carrier
wave, the battle droids would be useless “terminals,”
incapable of independent action or self- control.

The Vuutun Palaa can

hold up to 1,500 vulture

Because the Naboo are peaceful people, the Space Fighter
Corps is maintained as much through tradition as for military
defense, primarily serving as an honor guard for the queen’s Royal
Starship. Nonetheless, the Royal Naboo Security Forces train in
their N-1s on a regular basis, prepared for the honor of serving
the queen in combat if necessary, since service to the queen
also represents assisting the great free people of Naboo
themselves. When the Tr Trade

know that they must fight against tremendous

While the N-1 starfighter ’s chromium finish is retained for

tradition and to identify the ship’s royal status, the highly
reflective surfaces also serve to “dazzle” enemies, who
must adjust their optical sensors to focus on the N-1.

HYPERDRIVE BOOSTERS
Because many Republic starfighters are too small to safely contain a hyperdrive, the
fighters must connect to external hyperdrive boosters. Kuat Systems Engineering designed
the Delta-7 Aethersprite -class light interceptor, Alpha-3 Nimbus -class V-wing starfighter,
and Eta-2 Actis -class Interceptor with docking clamps for hyperdrive booster rings, and

data-feeds that enable the starfighters’ astromechs to transmit hyperspace coordinates to

BUZZ DROID
During the Battle of Coruscant, Separatist tri-fighters defend General Grievous’ stricken flagship
by harassing Jedi attackers with special ordnance. Launched from modified tri-fighters and
other vessels, these guided buzz droid missiles are lethal, and able to outturn and outrun nearly
any manned starship. But their aim is not a direct kill. Instead of detonating on impact, the
missile delivers a swarm of buzz droids: mechanical gremlins expertly programmed in the fine
arts of technological sabotage.

YODA’S ESCAPE PODS

An escape pod is designed to carry a living being away from danger as quickly as
possible. These basic craft roar and shake through the air, propelled by simple ion engines,
while the occupant’s ride is smoothed by inertial compensators and antigravity fields. In his
escape from the forces of Emperor Palpatine’s newly formed Galactic Empire, Jedi Master
Yoda resorts to these devices twice in one week. Yoda’s first pod is a simple, Wookiee-

THE IMPERIAL ERA
The Republic’s transformation into the Galactic Empire ends the chaos
of the Clone Wars, but heralds an oppressive new era in which galactic
citizens are subjugated under a terrifying dictatorship. To help the Empire
maintain its iron grip, the regime develops new weapon technologies.
Many manufacturers are brought under Imperial control or shut down,
while other organizations become dominant due to lucrative Imperial
contracts. Consequently, the variety of craft and vehicle designs
produced is greatly reduced compared to the days of the Old
Republic, as mass-production replaces traditional craftsmanship.
The Rebel Alliance
Alliance—a
—a small army of united dissidents fighting against
Imperial rule—poses an ever-growing threat to the Empire. With the help
of well-placed sympathizers and brave operatives, the Alliance slowly
amasses a formidable fleet—comprised
fleet—comprised of stolen, acquired,
acquired, modified,
and even self-manufactured craft—to

A period

the Galactic Civilsoon breaks
War. outtointo
Thanks theaheroic
sacrifice of the rebel strike team named Rogue One during the Battle of
Scarif, the Rebels attain the schematics of an Imperial superweapon: the
first Death Star. Darth Vader fails to reclaim the plans and is determined
to crush the rebels. Anakin and Padmé’s children, who were separated
at birth to protect them from the Emperor, are now thrown together by
fate. Unaware of their true parentage, the siblings—Tatooinian farm
boy Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan—lead
the Rebellion to a crucial victory by destroying the first Death Star.
While Luke trains to become a Jedi under the ancient Jedi
Master Yoda, the Empire retaliates and the Rebellion is severely
weakened. But the Alliance regroups and a decisive battle
results in both the destruction of the second Death Star and
the redemption of Anakin Skywalker, who ultimately rejects
the dark side of the Force and defeats the Emperor.
With the Empir
Empire’
e’ss leadership defeated, the vast
organization fractures into multiple factions, and the Rebel
Alliance, now calling itself the New Republic, capitalizes
on this weakness. The Galactic Civil War ends on Jakku,
where the New Republic’s forces win a critical victory

against the remains of the Imperial fleet.

The integrated weapons systems of the U-wing are focused
on ship-to-ship combat. With fixed-position laser cannons,
the primary weapons use the ship’s orientation for targeting,
limiting its application in ground support. The Rebel Alliance
has not opted to refit the U-wing with side-firing modifications,
but instead employs improvised weapon mounts to transform
one or both of the loading doors into gunports.

ZETA-CLASS
SHUTTLE
The Telgorn Corporation and Sienar Fleet Systems pooled resources
to create the Zeta -class shuttle, one of the most versatile transport craft
employed by the Empire. Pressed into both military and civilian
government service, the Zeta is built around a modular pod that can
accommodate varied cargo needs. Zeta shuttles are in constant use
as the Death Star operation nears completion and components from
scattered hidden laboratories need to be ferried to the battle station.

Although it is impo ssible to garrison every inhabited world in Imperial space,
the Navy can deploy its Star Destroyers to even remote planets in a short
period of time. The very idea of an orbital blockade or bombardment
encourages most worlds to comply with Imperial laws.

The sandcrawlers were built long ago,
during a mining boom on Tatooine. The
fleet of crawlers ranged throughout the
uncharted territories, pursuing lucrative
minerals. As the years passed, it was
discovered that the most valuable minerals
were found only on the surface. The
mining era faded and Jawas later took
over the abandoned sandcrawlers. Some
