SinceA New Hope, spaceships been promoted to audiences. They have been represented in various mediums and even products such asLEGO, where fans can own replicas of the ships. The different spaceships used inStar Warshold great importance in the franchise, as they are the icons of space travel and often one of the first things that come to mind when thinking of specific characters like Han Solo. Of course, some ships made a bigger impression than others.
10Boba Fett’s Gunship
Boba Fett’s shipwas first seen inThe Empire Strikes Backafter Darth Vader recruited several bounty hunters to hunt for The Millennium Falcon and its crew. Upon escaping the Empire’s fleet, The Millennium Falcon was spotted by Boba Fett and chased by the bounty hunter in his ship, which was initially called Slave I.

Though the ship’s name has been changed to Firespray, Boba Fett’s ship stays the same. The Firespray Gunship has received much love since its more modern appearance inThe Mandalorian, in which the vessel famously left behind Seismic Charge Bombs and their recognizable noise.
9The Millennium Falcon
The Millennium Falcon is arguably the most famous spaceship in the entireStar Warsfranchise. The Millennium Falcon has been the face ofStar Warsships since the Original Trilogy. First owned by Lando Calrissian, Han Solo won the craft in a gambling game against Lando.
Han Solo then teamed up with Luke and Leia in aiding the Resistance and fighting against the Empire, all with The Millennium Falcon. Since The Millennium Falcon’s reveal, the ship has been showcased in many other films, shows, andeven video gameslikeStar Wars Battlefront 2.
8X-Wing Starfighter
The X-Wing Starfighter is another of the most famous ships in theStar Warsfranchise. Essentially, the X-Wing Starfighter is the primary type of ship that the Resistance uses to take on the Empire and other enemies in aerial battles. Recognized mainly by its distinct X shape, the X-Wing has been included in variousStar Warsfilms and TV shows.
Luke Skywalker even famously took off in an X-Wing along with R2-D2 on a trip to the Dagobah system. Since then, the X-Wing has seen more and more screen time throughout theStar Warstimeline.
7TIE Fighter
The Imperial TIE Fighter is the spaceship that the Empire mainly uses to battle or chase enemies throughout the skies or even in outer space. The TIE Fighter is shaped like a sphere with two wing-like parts on each side, resembling a bow tie.
This ship became popular due to the number of times the TIE Fighter has been included onscreen in theStar Warsfranchise. In addition, some of the most famous Imperial figures, such as Darth Vader, have also used the ship. For example, Darth Vader used a unique TIE Fighter to chase Luke Skywalker down duringA New Hope.
6The Razor Crest

Din flew The Razor Crest through many hectic and action-packed moments until the ship was finally ‘retired.’ Though ‘Mando’ has gotten a new ship, The Razor Crest will forever be remembered.
5Jedi Starfighter
Before and during the Clone Wars, the Jedi had their unique kind of ship that they used to get around and battle their enemies. These were called Jedi Starfighters.
Made famous by Obi-Wan Kenobiand Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi Starfighters had space enough for a pilot and space for a droid like R2-D2 to help with repairs. The Jedi Starfighter was reasonably small compared to otherStar Warsships, but it packed an incredible punch in combat, mainly when grouped up with others.
4Lambda-Class Shuttle
The Empire had a ton of ships at its disposal while they attempted to take over the entire galaxy. One type of aerial transportation that they used is the Lambda-Class Shuttle. The Lamda-Class Shuttle is an Imperial ship held for the Empire’s higher-ups.
Darth Vader,played by many actors,famously used a Lambda-Class Shuttle in the Original Trilogy. The Lambda-Class Shuttle can easily be pointed out by its three incredibly long wings; two on each side of the shuttle and one on the top.
3Naboo N-1 Starfighter
Star Wars’Republic era Naboo may not have had the largest army, but Naboo’s fleet had impeccable skill. This skill could be seen through their Naboo N-1 Starfighters, which Naboo pilots used to fight against their many enemies, one being the greedy Trade Federation.
The Naboo N-1 Starfighter was small, much like a Jedi Starfighter, but was quick and accurate. With a sleek yellow-and-silver design, the Naboo N-1 Starfighter was one of the best-looking gunships in the galaxy and even received more unexpected praise after Din came across one inThe Mandalorian.
2Darth Vader’s Executor
Star Destroyers are among the most feared ships inStar Wars,as the Empire invaded countless planets with them. True to their name, these ships have the firepower to take out an entire world. One of, if not the most famous, Star Destroyer is Darth Vader’s Executor-Class Star Destroyer.
Referred to as Darth Vader’s Executor, this ship was used to aid in the defensive position against the Resistance after they attacked the Empire on Endor. The Executor was entirely under Darth Vader’s command, which he used to shoot many systems.
1Naboo Royal Starship
In the Prequel Trilogy,fans could look at some of the most famous ships in the ages before the Empire took over the galaxy. These ships seemed more delicate and decorative rather than practical. One great example of this is the Naboo Royal Starship.
The Naboo Royal Starship is a long ship with a sleek shape and impressive chrome coloring. The Naboo Royal Starship was used to fly Queen Padme and Obi-Wan to various locations, becoming one of the most famous ships inStar Wars.
