This is a design challenge. To celebrate the anniversary of the release of Star Wars Episode IV, the Boffs want to see practical replicas of the ships and vehicles used in Star Wars.

RULES:

- No violating the laws of physics.

- Any structural mod valid.

- OP engines OK but they must consume fuel.

- Spacecraft must show launch to orbit, transfer orbits and landing capability.

- Aircraft must show controlled flight and safe landing and recovery.

- Walkers must be able to turn corners in a predictable manner.

Showcase your creations in one post, please! Use the edit button, that's what it's for.

Ummm guy, we already have one ST challenge going on... why a second?

[ihtoit]

it's not ST. It's SW.

Landing and recovery is a bit problematic for my pod racer, I might try another that can reel in the pod and land.

[Fengist]

it's not ST. It's SW.

got my space operas mixed up... pardon.

[ihtoit]

np. That is an awesome podracer, Darren9, it's giving me ideas for a circuit challenge >:]

[rtxoff]

Because we have a ST and a SW challange how about a SG one?
