Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022): Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter

Presented in December 2019, this design is the result of a collaboration between Lucasfilm and Porsche. Doug Chiang, @artbyabc and @rchurchdesign , on the Lucasfilm side, participated in its creation.

@artbyabc @rchurchdesign So it's the rare case where I have the concept art years before the broadcast lol

You want to see inside the cockpit? Here we are.

@artbyabc @rchurchdesign With every new episode of anything Star Wars, I waited to see if this ship would finally be introduced.

Suffice to say that I was

@artbyabc @rchurchdesign As we saw that the N-1 was already available during the later stages of The High Republic (cf Eclipse), I suppose it's a ship from this era too. Before the Dark Times.

Sleek, in good condition, like a galaxy that has not yet been eaten away by corruption and then fascism.

@artbyabc @rchurchdesign It would be a bit like the ancestor of the U-wing. Both are produced by Incom, in-universe.

The luxury starfighter becomes a low-cost dropship a few decades later.

I'm totally making it up but I like the idea lol

@artbyabc @rchurchdesign Please buy "The Complete Incom Story", the 1587-page novel I'm releasing in 2027.

@artbyabc @rchurchdesign Let's do it @DelReyStarWars

We already have 2 customers. TWO!

In the meantime, what I've really been doing for the past year is a book about ships... but fundamentally different:
1/ Not in-universe
2/ Not only Star Wars.
