Are there too many Star Wars and too few Porsches?
The teaser video by Lucasfilm and Porsche for a collaboration is now available. The spacecraft will be used in Star Wars, The Rise of Skywalker. The Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter is far more alien-looking than the German automaker’s product. Porsche claims that the Pegasus’ front curtains are integrated into the headlights as a reference to the Taycan. The droid’s louvered rear is inspired by the tail of the latest 911. These elements are subtle and do not immediately make the Pegasus look like a Porsche.
Motor1.com is home to its Star Wars expert, who offers his opinion on the Pegasus. Jason Marker is our editor for our motorcycle-focused sister RiderApart. He is also the editor of Star Wars RPG Series from Fantasy Flight Games, with a specialization in starships and naval technology. Marker even has the ability to determine the role of the Pegasus within the larger hierarchy of Star Wars ships. Porsche and Lucasfilm offer a replica of the Pegasus at five feet (1.5m) in length. It will be on display at the Rise of Skywalker premiere in Los Angeles. People will also be able see subtle similarities between the Porsche Taycan and the spacecraft by visiting it.
