If not, it would be a another cool wink to the Star Wars past for him to work into a future project. These leaves me so shocked that he hasn't managed to sneak the Cantwell X-Wing into one of his projects that I have to assume he did, and I missed it. He canonized three Kenner figures by brining Blue Snaggletooth, Flipper Walrusman, and Singlet Hammerhead into various animation projects. He's either directly inserted McQuarrie concepts or alluded to them. I don't know if it was ever confirmed, but I have to think that the greens and blues on the nose of the Cantwell X-Wing were the inspiration for the color palette of Kaz Xiono in Star Wars: Resistance.ĭave Filoni has worked countless winks and nods from Star Wars history into his projects. The nose of his prototype was literally taken from a dragster model kit. Knowing of Lucas' love of car culture, Cantwell drew inspiration from a dragster crossed with a throwing dart to design the X-Wing. Perhaps some panelization on the s-foils and weathering, and it would be there. Some of them, like the TIE Fighter, are clearly far removed from being film-quality models. If you've watched any Original Trilogy behind the scenes documentary, you've likely seen many Cantwell prototypes. His staggering number of designs and prototype models essentially formed the visual Star Wars starship lexicon, and include the X-wing, Y-wing (the first approved design, according to The Making of Star Wars), TIE fighter, Star Destroyer, Death Star, landspeeder, sandcrawler, and blockade runner (a design originally intended for the Millennium Falcon). How Kylo Ren AKA Ben Solo (Adam Driver) got to Exegol for the climactic confrontation in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker doesnt make sense.
The Official Site wrote the following in his obituary from May of last year: Somewhat surprisingly, Zorii Bliss makes an appearance in 75263, in exactly the same design as she appears in the much higher priced 75249 Resistance Y-wing Starfighter.
X-wing Starfighter there is a blue X-Wing on display, and its a great photo. Cantwell was tasked with designing models for the ships in Lucas's space opera. The TIE/vn space superiority fighter, formally known as the TIE vendetta space superiority fighter and nicknamed the TIE silencer, was an angular variant of the TIE line starfighters used by the First Order. There are many hidden gems in Star Wars: Galaxys Edge that big fans will. Reminiscent in design of the Empires TIE interceptor and Darth Vaders TIE advanced, Kylo Rens TIE silencer is an angular fighter equipped with laser cannons and missile launchers. Cantwell's hire probably predated Ralph McQuarrie's onboarding by a matter of days. One of the first people that George Lucas brought on to the then " The Star Wars" project was concept designer Colin Cantwell.
