What starships do you think are the best?

Naturally the Falcon. Which of course means that Serenity is on my list. Its the spiritual successor. The Ghost from Rebels is a great design. I also really liked Grievous' fighter from ROTS it looks like an old 50's car.

 

of course! "It's the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.”

 

For smaller ships, I like the TIE Interceptor, A-wing, and that Y-wing variant seen in The Clone Wars series (if that counts).

Hate the Y-wing seen in the OT though. Blech.

I'm undecided on the larger ships.

 

when i was a kid i loved the Naboo star fighter. its so sleek.

 

That is a good choice. To be honest, all the fighters and larger ships that we saw had a sleekness and shininess to them.

I always thought this ship was cool.

It seems to have a similar appearance to the fighters used in TPM.

 

It's from the Battle for Naboo video game.

 

This thread reminds me of my younger years, which were spent drooling over this book. This is better than the newer one overall... wish the newer one followed the same style of large diagram/small artist rendition.

 

I like the new X-Wings, but like the TIE Fighters of the OT, I'd like to see some additional
different versions of the X-Wing in the upcoming films and spin-offs.

This Up-Armored X-Wing by the artist Joshua Viers is a really cool design-



Although this thread is about ships, Viers concept art for a new type of TIE Pilot is just too wickedly cool to leave out-

 

He's actually got some other pretty good concept arts as well. I'm really digging that TIE pilot, and you got me wondering what direction they went for TFA on that.

 

Yeah, his art, both Star Wars, as well as his non-SW work, is stunning.

This new streamlined stealthy looking version of the Imperial Shuttle is my personal favorite-

 

Are these for video games?

 

I was checking his website (http://www.conceptbyjosh.com) and I didn't see anything that specified what it was for.

He mentions working at ILM, but doesn't mention Star Wars in his "about". Perhaps it was simply for fun and to display his talents.

 

I know that he also designed some items for Hasbro as well. As far as I know, these Star Wars pieces are what you say they are-his personal
for-fun work that he includes in his professional portfolio.

I would encourage everyone to check out his website. The concept piece of the Sith-like figure force-lifting a derelict AT-AT on what looks
to be Tatooine, is frakking beautiful.

 

It looks like Malgus is making triumphant return.

 

The Millenium Falcon is my favorite Star Wars ship, and probably my favorite in all of fiction.

For notable mentions, I've always been fond of the imperial shuttles for the OT. As well as X wings and TIE interceptors.

 

I've always been found of these ships:



Oh wait... you meant Star Wars?? /sarcasm

 

Great pics.
