Designed as the faster, deadlier upgrade to the classic TIE Fighter, the Interceptor earned its name in the Battle of Endor. Its bent wings and heavy guns gave it the edge in speed and firepower, making it one of the Empire’s most feared starfighters. Sleek, aggressive, and built for pursuit, it was the ultimate tool for hunting down Rebel pilots. | © Walt Disney Studios
The A-Wing is the fastest starfighter in the Rebel arsenal, even outpacing a TIE Interceptor. Small and nimble, it was perfect for hit-and-run attacks that bigger ships couldn’t pull off. From Return of the Jedi to The Last Jedi, the A-Wing proved that speed can be just as powerful as firepower. | © Walt Disney Studios
Count Dooku’s fleet leaned heavily on these massive warships during the Clone Wars. At over 7,000 feet long, the hawk-nosed design gave it an intimidating profile, and its heavy weapons made it a constant threat to Republic forces. First seen in The Clone Wars series, the Dreadnought quickly became one of the Separatists’ most fearsome tools of war. | © Walt Disney Studios
Supreme Leader Snoke’s flagship was the biggest warship the galaxy had ever seen – more than three times the size of Vader’s Executor. Bristling with weapons and serving as a mobile command center, it was meant to make the First Order untouchable. But in The Last Jedi, the Supremacy was split in half by the Raddus, showing that even the most massive ship can be brought down. | © Walt Disney Studios
The MC85 Star Cruiser might not look like it could stand up to the First Order’s fleet, but the Raddus proved otherwise. After suffering heavy losses, Vice Admiral Holdo turned the ship into a weapon itself, tearing through the Supremacy with a lightspeed ramming maneuver in The Last Jedi. That single act turned the tide of battle and made the Raddus one of the most memorable ships in Star Wars history. | © Walt Disney Studios
At first glance, it looks like the old Imperial design, but the First Order’s TIE Fighter is a major upgrade. Faster, tougher, and armed with better weapons, it’s far deadlier than the original models. When it debuted in The Force Awakens, it showed just how much more dangerous the First Order’s fleet had become. | © Walt Disney Studios
Darth Vader’s Super Star Destroyer was the ultimate symbol of Imperial overkill – over 12 miles long, dwarfing anything else in the fleet. Its sheer size and firepower made it a nightmare for Rebel forces, a mobile fortress that could command entire battles. But even this giant wasn’t invincible, as one Rebel pilot proved when the ship went down in Return of the Jedi. | © Walt Disney Studios
Kylo Ren’s personal starfighter is a sleeker, deadlier evolution of the TIE Interceptor. Over 55 feet long and loaded with advanced weapons, it cuts through space with speed and precision. In The Last Jedi, Ren showed just how dangerous it could be, tearing through Resistance ships with ruthless efficiency. | © Walt Disney Studios
The Republic Attack Cruiser was built for all-out war, not diplomacy. Stretching over 3,800 feet and loaded with more than 50 laser cannons, a crew of 7,400, and over 200 starfighters, it was the backbone of the Republic fleet. By the time of Revenge of the Sith, it already looked battle-hardened, a true workhorse of the Clone Wars. | © Walt Disney Studios
Vader’s personal starfighter took the standard TIE design and pushed it to another level with better shields, stronger weapons, and a hyperdrive. It became legendary the moment he flew it into the Death Star trench during A New Hope. Sleek, powerful, and tied forever to one of cinema’s greatest villains, this TIE is as iconic as they come. | © Walt Disney Studios
Darth Vader’s Imperial Star Destroyer made one of the most unforgettable entrances in movie history, looming over the screen as it chased down the Tantive IV. At more than a mile long and crewed by 40,000, it was the perfect showcase of Imperial might. The Devastator set the standard for what a warship in Star Wars should look and feel like: massive, unstoppable, and terrifying. | © Walt Disney Studios
General Grievous’s massive flagship was a core weapon of the Separatist fleet during the Clone Wars. Capable of unleashing 20 squadrons of droid starfighters, it carried enough firepower to overwhelm Republic forces. It’s also remembered as the ship where Anakin Skywalker killed Count Dooku, a turning point that pushed him closer to the dark side. | © Walt Disney Studios
The First Order’s flagship is almost twice the size of a classic Imperial Star Destroyer, and it’s armed to match. With over 1,500 turbolasers and ion cannons, the ship can level fleets and planetside targets with overwhelming firepower. As Kylo Ren and General Hux’s ride, the Finalizer set the tone for a new era of galactic domination. | © Walt Disney Studios
The X-Wing proved that small ships can change the course of galactic history. With proton torpedoes and tight manoeuvrability, it was Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing that brought down the first Death Star. Tough, versatile, and deadly in the hands of Rebel pilots, it’s still one of the most powerful starfighters in Star Wars. | © Walt Disney Studios
The Falcon may not look like much, but its speed and agility have made it one of the most feared ships in the galaxy. Han Solo’s heavily modified freighter has outrun Imperials, survived countless battles, and pulled off moves that bigger warships could never manage. Its mix of firepower, hyperdrive speed, and sheer survivability makes it a legend far beyond Star Wars. | © Walt Disney Studios
Star Wars has always been as much about the ships as the characters flying them. From massive battle stations to nimble starfighters, these machines have shaped the biggest battles in the galaxy. Here’s a look at the ones that packed the most firepower and left the biggest mark.
