ARC-170 starfighter


The following is a list of fictional Star Wars starfighters. In addition to appearing in the saga's movies and TV series, several LucasArts games depict the player as a starfighter pilot.

A-wings appear at the climactic Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi. It is also a vehicle found in both Battlefront II and Battlefront (2015).

ARC-170 starfighters appear in the opening sequence of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. The fighter's name stems from "ART 170", the file name of the art that established the ship's appearance—deliberately reminiscent of the X-wing.

B-wings participate at the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi.

Automated Trade Federation "Vulture-droid" starfighters appear in space battles in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith. Original designs depicted the droid starfighter not as a droid itself, but instead piloted by a battle droid.

Tri-fighters are part of the droid forces in the opening battle of Revenge of the Sith. Original plans to equip the fighters with boosters were abandoned when Lucas decided they were an unnecessary distraction in the already chaotic scene. Its curved braces are reminiscent of the Trade Federation's circular battleship.

The improved successor to the X-wing, E-wings first appear in Dark Horse Comics' Dark Empire series. They are one of few Expanded Universe vehicles to be a part of Micro Machines' Action Fleet line.

Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) escapes Utapau in Grievous' starfighter in Revenge of the Sith. The starfighter, "both sleek and aggressive", was one of few ships to be physically built for the production.
