X wing is the best design in the whole series
I have a large appreciation on the Corellian freighter variants. The Otana, Ghost and Outrider. The Otana is a hell of a brawler in a firefight, I love the Ghost's B-17 inspired design and the Outrider is just damn slick. I think actually like them more than the Falcon itself.
The Ebon Hawk also has a cool design, but it is part of the larger problem I have with KOTOR era tech being matching OT tech better than stuff in the Clone Wars, despite being 4000 years beforehand.

Yup, the one and only (if it's muddy after Dagobah, even better)

Too many to list, lots all ready mentioned but favorite has to be
the Buick Electra ;P
The one thing I've always admired about that design is how it incorporates the function and layout of lots of modern military aircraft (including transport helicopters like the UH-1 Iroquois "Huey" and UH-60 Black Hawk, attack helis like the AH-1 Cobra, and smaller transport planes like V-22 Osprey minus the tilt rotars) yet still has that undeniable Star Wars look.

I always liked the LAAT since I started playing the original Battlefront.

Imperial shuttle is the coolest looking ship IMO. Back in the X-Wing / Tie fighter days I thought B-wings were the most balanced but I preferred to use an A-Wing even though it didn't have proton torpedoes. It was just so damn fast.
Half built Death Star!
Is there an article or something which explains how they even build this thing. I mean, from a technical perspective.
When ever I see it, I just wonder what if someone opens one of the air locks?

I can't believe almost all of page 1 went by without proper images of the X-Wing and Falcon.
For shame.
For shame.

I always got a Hind vibe from it...
Yeah definitely on the weapons and cockpit front, definitely more so than my comparisons. I mention the others because of the sliding doors for troop transport (very Huey-like) and that rear cargo ramp and plane-like flight style (like the Osprey)

A-wings, now and forever.
I think I'd like the A-Wing more if I didn't know it was a butchered Tomcat.
Am I literally the only one who's going to say the Naboo Royal Starship?
Sure it belonged to a terrible film, but that was one sleek starship. No wonder Watto was practically tripping over himself to get his hands on it.
First page man.
I appreciate how a lot of Star Wars crafts take inspiration from real military aircraft. The turrets on the Falcon are modeled after ball turrets on WWII bombers, and even incorporated the cockpit of the B-17 into the design of the ghost. As mentioned earlier, Cloud Cars are similar in design to Twin Mustangs. The X-Wing/TIE Fighter dynamic is modeled after well armed and sturdy American Hellcat fighters versus nimble but fragile Japanese Zeroes.
