A new video details and names every starship that appears in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Totaling 85 unique fighters, cruisers, and transports, the video shows each fan-favorite ship, new Disney addition, and sneaky cameo from The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.
For many fans, the ships of Star Wars are practically characters in their own right. From the iconic X-Wing fighter and Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon to the imposing Imperial Star Destroyer and Boba Fett’s Slave 1, the appearance of a beloved ship can conjure as much nostalgia and excitement as a favorite character. The fleets of Star Wars have spawned some of the franchise’s most beloved content, including a long-running series of video games like the upcoming Star Wars: Squadrons, which is slated for release on October 2nd.
In a new video on Disney’s popular YouTube channel Star Wars Kids, every ship from episodes VII, VIII, and IX is shown and named – a combined fleet of 85 unique vessels. The list includes classics from the original trilogy – like the rebel A-Wing, B-Wing, Y-Wing, and X-Wing fighters – as well as ships that debuted in the Disney films, like Kylo Ren’s massive First Order Command Shuttle.
Unsurprisingly, almost half of the ships appear in The Rise of Skywalker’s final battle on the Sith stronghold world of Exegol, where a massive Resistance fleet combats an army of TIE Fighters and planet-killing Star Destroyers. There are several fun cameo appearances pointed out in the background of the Exegol scenes, including The Phantom Menace’s gold and silver Naboo Starfighter, Revenge of the Sith’s Wookie Gunship, and The Ghost from Star Wars: Rebels, which can be seen landing after the fight.
The battle on Exegol is as much a tribute to the entire Star Wars franchise as it is a narrative climax to the sequel trilogy, with other Easter eggs, like the various Jedi voices that speak to Rey, in addition to the hidden ships. Despite supplying a good deal of feel-good fan service, reception to Rise of Skywalker, and the way it concluded the saga was mixed at best, with some fans left wondering how the story might have concluded had J.J. Abrams not been brought back. Details of a different pitch for the ninth film by Colin Trevorrow – which could have included an additional ship now lost in non-canon – earlier this year renewed the debate among fans.
Regardless of your feelings on the sequel trilogy, seeing all the iconic ships together is something any Star Wars loyalist can get behind. With future film projects in the franchise currently put on hold, upcoming Disney+ shows like The Bad Batch and The Mandalorian season 2 might hold the next additions to the ever-growing Star Wars fleet.
