Creativity has no bounds, and creativity, can also literally come from anywhere, and this falls right smack in between the two realms. From sunglasses, book shelves, and even a shisha bong, Porsche Design is the brand’s creative outlet to design almost anything its heart desires, and this collaboration is a result of zero parameters and restraints.
To celebrate the incoming Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker movie, Lucasfilms have collaborated with Porsche Design to create their very own Stargfighter called Tri-Wing S-91 X Pegasus Starfighter. A mouthful, yes, but serves as a platform for Porsche to imbue its design language into the Star Wars universe.
“The design of the spaceship is harmoniously integrated into the Star Wars film world while at the same time demonstrating clear analogies with the characteristic Porsche styling and proportions,” says Michael Mauer, Vice President Style Porsche at Porsche AG. “The basic shape of the cabin, which tapers towards the rear, and a highly distinctive topography from the cockpit flyline to the turbines establish visual parallels with the iconic design of the 911 and the Taycan. The very compact layout conveys dynamism and agility, lending emphasis to the Porsche design features mentioned.”
“This collaboration is an amazing opportunity to merge the design aesthetics of Porsche and Star Wars. I found it to be creatively challenging and extremely inspiring,” says Doug Chiang, Vice President and Executive Creative Director for Lucasfilm. “It is thrilling to infuse Star Wars with Porsche styling to create an iconic new spaceship that could exist both on Earth or in the cinematic universe.”
The concept will be brought to life in a 1.5 meter model at the December film premiere of the final episode in the trilogy.
