Oh yes, Luke's X-Wing is a fave. Although... oh no. I just thought about those multiple-day galactic travel times. That must be HELL in a cockpit DX

SW is deliberately vague about travel for narrative reasons, so it's easy to handwave, and pilots do routinely sit in a cockpit this small for long hours, but all I can think of is "no toilet" and AHHHHH.

The Naboo cruisers are all VERY pretty. The one that gets blown up in the beginning of Ep II is my favorite, 100% for this scene:

The way the tops of the Coruscant buildings peak above the cloud cover... the shadow it throws on the cloud... how it disappears in them at the end... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

You’d think the ships in Star Wars, particularly in hyperspace, they go by very quickly. But yeah, it’s quite cramped and small.

Wow! That’s a beautiful shot!

I would have made a gif if I had the time, the whole sequence is amazing. 😍

Yup! Even their Naboo fighter ships look cool.

Oh gosh imagine if Luke finds Padme’s ship tho. 😭

Yes, very nice shot and a great observation. And yes, the Naboo ships were very stylish.
