Summary
Starfieldplayers have been recreating famousStar Warsvehicles over the past couple of months, with the latest being the classic Y-Wing starfighter from the original trilogy.Starfield’s spaceship customization suite has been one of the game’s strongest selling points, as it allows players to explore the universe in any craft they can dream up. This includes impressive tributes toexisting ships likeCowboy Bebop’s SwordfishorFuturama’s Planet Express. Some more imaginative references include space vessels modeled after the Tumbler fromThe Dark Knightand the original Dino Megazord fromMighty Morphin’ Power Rangers.
Given thatStar Warsis one of the most iconic space franchises out there, it should come as no surprise thatStarfieldplayers have looked to the Galaxy Far, Far Away for inspiration for their custom ships. These creations have spanned multiple eras of the decade-spanningStar Warstimeline, fromKnights of the Old Republic’s Ebon HawktoStar Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Stinger Mantis. With plenty of ships to choose from,Star Warscould be one of the biggest muses forStarfieldshipbuilders, and yet another staple of the series has joined the many vessels to take flight in Bethesda’s space RPG epic.
A talented Reddit user by the handle of cardinal151515 recently shared their awe-inspiring recreation of the Y-Wing assault bomber of the originalStar Warstrilogy on r/Starfield, earning praise from otherStarfieldplayers for capturing the look of the Rebel Alliance’s workhorse fighter. Cardinal151515 shared that the armored Y-Wing was their favoriteStar Warsship, so they converted their original Frontier into a near-exact duplicate of one.
Fans first saw the BTL Y-wing starfighter inStar Wars Episode 4: A New Hope, though its use stretches back to the Clone Wars of the Prequel Era. In contrast to the agile A-Wings andmore rounded X-Wings of the Rebel Alliance, the Y-Wing is built for both enduring and inflicting punishment while facing off against the forces of the Galactic Empire. As one of the oldest ships in theStar Warsfranchise, the Y-Wing has been featured in countless video games likeRogue SquadronandStar Wars Battlefront 2, which allow players to unleash its missiles, torpedoes, and bombs in dogfights.
The Y-Wing’s tough armored exterior and powerful reflector shields would certainly come in handy while exploringStarfield’s over 1,000 procedurally-generated planets, and cardinal151515 has done a phenomenal job of recreating the Rebellion’s second most famous ship. There have been plenty of funStar Warstributes inStarfieldalready, and this doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon thanks to the freedom the game grants players who want to blast off into space their own way.
Starfieldis available on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
