This week, Connor and Alex explore the role of the starship in the galaxy of Star Wars. They survey both the various kinds of ships in Star Wars and the specific iconic ships found in the galaxy far, far away. Starships fill many roles in Star Wars, from the cool car, the deadly dogfighter, or as a spacefaring home for ragtag groups of Rebels. Audiences also get attached to specific ships that fill the roles of characters in their own right, including the Ghost from Rebels, to the Razor Crest from The Mandalorian, to the forever-iconic Millennium Falcon itself. Various styles of ship, from the endless waves of TIE fighters of the Empire to the Mon Calamari organic cruisers, also serve as further visual worldbuilding. Join us today for a breakdown of the role of the starship in Star Wars!
This episode contains spoilers from: Episode II, Episode IV, Episode V, Episode VI, Episode VII, Episode VIII, Episode IX Rebels, The Mandalorian, Solo: A Star Wars Story, The Bad Batch, Battlefront: Twilight Company, Resistance, The Clone Wars, and Darth Vader (2015 comic run).
