The Falcon.

And honestly, the Naboo ships have a cool look as well. Especially the yellow star fighter.

Y-Wing.

Bandai's model kit tested my love for it, though.

I hate these pipes.

here's a picture of the one I built. You can definitely spot some glue overage if you look carefully.

One of the very few things I like about Dark Empire is the Eclipse-class star destroyer:

And of course the AT-AT:

The star of Shadows of the Empire, Dash Rendar's Outrider. Inserted retroactively into the first film during one of George's 237 revision phases. :p

Such a good design. Also had another model make it into Rebels. Of all the things that got put into legends, I think I miss Shadows the most. I guess Dash has been mentioned in a book, so he's canon too, but Shadows of the Empire seemed so cool at the time. I'd love to revisit that story.

Everybody up in here posting them AT-ATs (which I love), but not a single post yet showing their amazing younger brother:

The AT-M6 (All Terrain Mega Caliber Six) aka the Gorilla Walker.

The AT-AT always looked so menacing, but this thing takes it to a completely new level:

No. It just illustrates that less is often more.

This ship (I guess called the YT-2400 Light Freighter) was in fact created for the Mos Eisley Special Edition scene by design mainstay Doug Chiang, but the design was sitting around for a while, and so they gave it to the Shadows of the Empire devs to use as Not-quite Han's Not-quite Falcon. But yes, it's a great design.

I oddly really like the T-16 Skyhopper because it was prominently featured in the first level of Rebel Assault, which my first Star Wars game

A favorite of mine too. Side note: the prop model Mark fiddles with was the original prototype model designed by Colin Cantwell (original designer of the X-Wing, Y-Wing, Blockade Runner/"proto-Falcon", Star Destroyer, Speeder, Sandcrawler and Death Star.) So this is one of the few 1977 designs that didn't get revisions later by Ralph McQuarrie or Joe Johnston/other ILM staff.

The wiki says that it was originally one of the designs in the running to be the Y-Wing (which makes some sense), but all the official Rinzler Making-of says is that it was "originally a good-guy fighter." Since I missed out on his book tour earlier this year, I actually emailed Cantwell asking a little about if it was planned to be in a compositing sequence, but I guess that decision was made after his time on the production.

(That's a lot of pointless history on a minor ship that only shows up in games or the background in decades-later Special Editions. Sorry.)

Somewhere.
TIE Fighter. A wonderful classic with a cool scream. Dig the TIE Advanced and Interceptor quite a bit too.

Also really appreciated the Hammerhead greatly after Rogue One, when it freaking rammed two Destroyers together.

I really enjoy the A-Wing more now after recently getting the new lego set ha ha.
