8 Gratuitously Awesome Star Wars Starships

So nice to see a few rebel crushing ships, I swear the rebels in those movies are like ISIS. This reminds me, need to find the empire at war mods I had installed on my old harddrive, they added a ton of ships like the Eclipse.
If only non-canonical starships were in the running. The top spot would certainly go to...
Even if only for the accompanying story.

Technically still canon, as Star Wars VII only overwrites the post Jedi extended universe, the Star Forge from Knights of the Old Republic is a giant Death Star-like vessel that, in addition to planet-busting superlasers and random Force-fueled defenses, actually eats stars and poops out star destroyers. Let that sink in for a bit...
I always liked KOTOR's "Ebon Hawk". I feel it's design is far superior to that of the "Millennium Falcon".
Say what you will about Episodes I-III, but I still think the Venator-class Star Destroyers are among my favorite ships in the whole Star Wars universe.
The YT-2400 baffles me, mainly why they went back to the sideslung cockpit. Yeah yeah, I know, the YT-1300 had it as well, but here's the thing, those aren't the only two styles in the YT line. The mid point of this is the YT-2000 featured in X-Wing Alliance.
And as for the Firespray (what design Slave-1 is) I'll agree onto the list but because it's a cool design. Sorry, but no love here for a supposed "badass" bounty hunter who's only real action in the movies was being sucker hit by a half blind Solo while trying to get a cheap shot on Luke.

The classic X-wing will always be my favorite Star Wars ship.
PS: Glad to see someone posted something about Star Wars on May 4th on this site.

The Moldy Crow is a new one for me. I like it!
I will always take the classic Executor over the Eclipse but the Star Viper is such a weird looking ship I can't help but like that funky fighter.

I actually knew it for years, but never knew that it was from Star Wars. The Freelancer mod Discovery included tons of new ship models (including capital ships), some taken from other sources (like BSG), others designed for the mod. I always liked the Moldy Crow's design, but never looked it up/never realized where it came from.Redlin5 said:The Moldy Crow is a new one for me. I like it!

One of these days I'll need to run discovery. It is a big mod for my favourite game of all time after all...Skeleon said:
The Lancer is godawful. How did a giant Dong make it past the art director? If ever there was a design that should be expunged from the series forever, it's this one.
