While various spinoffs and other productions are coming our way sooner, if you're looking for the next Star Wars movie, you'll have to wait until December 22, 2023. That's when Patty Jenkins' Star Wars: Rogue Squadron will be released, fueled by what the director Twitter-calls her wish to come up with the "greatest fighter pilot movie ever." Meanwhile, many independent artists wish to bring their contribution to the franchise, with the rendering sitting on your screen being the latest example of this.
This work comes from Xabi Romero, a young automotive designer who has completed a Master of Arts in Training and Development at the Pforzheim University of Applied Sciences in Germany.
While the pixel adventure also revolves around piloting, this has a completely different flavor to the one mentioned in the intro since it involves podracing. You know, the sport that became a thing in less-developed parts of the galaxy.
For the record, the cockpit of such a machine hovers by using a repulsorlift that pushes against a planet's gravitational field. Using plasma energy binders (or really strong cables, on occasion), this is linked to super-sized turbine, ion or rocket motors.
This visual tale strays even further from official matters by placing Kylo Ren in control of the repulsorcraft; that's despite the fact the Force-savvy dark warrior and podracers come from different parts of the SW timeline and belong to different social classes.
The final layer brings a touch of Porsche. And, unlike the bits mentioned above, this isn't a surprise, especially since the German automaker designed a a Star Wars ship as outside-the-motion-picture lore for the Rise of Skywalker movie of 2019. We here at autoevolution even featured a project where the Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter, to use the full name of the ship, was digitally covered in classic Porsche racing liveries with the help of a rendering artist.
That atypical closed cockpit? It would have to pack some revolutionary tech, even for the Star Wars universe, to protect Kylo from the 700+ mph (1,100+ kph) impacts that mark the dark side (pun intended) of this fictional sport's reputation.
