Star Wars The Last Jedi: First Look At Kylo Ren's Starfighter


Besides being skilled with a lightsaber, Anakin Skywalker was one of the best pilots in the galaxy, and it's no mystery that his grandson followed suit. Though we didn't get to see him do any flying in The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren will be piloting his own starship in The Last Jedi. Here's a first look:

According to Making Star Wars, the image was leaked on an online store, and it's supposed to part of a new line of The Last Jedi Hot Wheels ships. To be honest, I can't tell which part is the front or the back, but it does look like a modified TIE Interceptor should the pointy parts be the front part. If it flies the opposite direction, then it kind of looks like General Grievous' ship from Revenge of the Sith or one of the classic Naboo starfighters.

As it turns out, Kylo Ren will have a lot of redeeming to do after his big failure to Rey in The Force Awakens. Here's the full description from MSW:

Supreme Leader Snoke was let down by Kylo Ren when he failed to stop the "girl." Now he is trying to prove himself. He doesn't wear his helmet as much as he did in the first film from what I've been told. His new TIE has pointed wings like the TIE Interceptor but with a pill-shaped body. The cockpit is sort of like an old B-29 bomber compared to the classic TIE cockpit window. The thrusters in the back remind me of the Falcon as they glow blue and sort of evoke the Falcon. The custom ship was supposedly made to his specifications so he could take down the Resistance and I believe we see Kylo fly from the Mega Destroyer in his new ship.

Sure I love lightsabers and all, but nothing is as exhilarating as a good space battle! The Battle of Yavin is one of my favorite Star Wars scenes, and I hope we get to see some more ship battles in The Last Jedi.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi comes out on Dec. 15.
