This Amazing Star Wars Ship Was Hidden for 40 Years

[@dragonblaster-vu8wz]

This is why I love the star wars community. Only someone in Star Wars could make a ship based on a blurry prop put into s movie and make it good

[@DeathBYDesign666]

Why not a shoe though? I mean you don't have any aerodynamic design considerations in space, and a shoe, while weird, isn't exactly the least aerodynamic shape I can think of even if that was a factor. A boot maybe (not that there aren't also boot shaped ships in star wars), but a loafer is at least sleek and well distributed in terms of mass. You even have ships that literally look like a pair of shoes (the twin pod cloud car from Bespin in case you were wondering) so it's not that silly of an idea when you think about it.

[@justinmaitland7335]

This is why we care about the movies, we play, theorize, and enjoy each and every bit of lore; this isn't a little show with a couple ten's of thousands of fans, this is Star Wars with tens of MILLIONS of fans, some of which have an unhealthy obsession.

It's incredible how authentic your renders look, the one with the brothers in the foreground and The Shoe on the landing pad in the background could have easily been a convincing Mandalorian "leak", amazing stuff! Also in my own head I like to think that The Shoe is part of some Star Wars gundum of some sorts, like imagine if it was originally part of a fleet that resembles a giant humanoid body, which includes a sister-ship in the form of say, a right shoe, two leg-shaped ships (or just one A-shaped shipe), a torso ship with two wings resembling arms, two hand ships, and finally, a head-shaped ship. The Shoe we see in RotJ was just the one that the Rebels got their hands on, and therefore is the only ship of it's original fleet we ever see. Your interpretation is also pretty fun though, I'd say its more logical than my silly idea lol.

I flippin' love you, EC. How is it you're able to take a production joke and make something so cool out of it? The idea the ship is shoe shaped because it's a yacht with a detachable speedboat is inspired. It's a genuinely good looking ship with the speedboat attached, so the shoe shape when it's gone becomes weirdly believable. If everyone currently working on Star Wars projects took their real jobs as seriously as you took this joke prop, we'd have some amazing ship designs coming to live action. Not saying we haven't had any, but the only two that have really impressed me of late were the Fondor Haulcraft and Rex's ship from the last episode of Bad Batch.

[@estherclawson6876]

I am saving this in a personal list because I love the idea so much.

[@keetonmitchell4669]

The design with the big rear gun actually lends itself decently to being a sort of artillery/AA drop ship. They could land just about anywhere that could support a ship of their size, and offer good ground to air support for new/temporary bases. Land a few of these near a LZ, and troop/supply transports can feel safer landing to pick up or drop off large amounts of supply. Hell clamp a few of these to a ship or asteroid and you have auxiliary weapons blisters. It is kinda silly looking, but arguably quite practical and isn’t too far outside the Star Wars realm which still has a number of other silly ships

[@brettsalter3300]

These days with so many shoes looking like space ships, what a refreshing call back to the good old days, when the reverse was true.

Another idea for the design could be a Self-Deployable Mobile Artillery; it’s able to move independent from a carrier ship (unlike the SPHA-T) which would also fit with the Rebel fleet.

[@chrishechtl8330]

That is cool and nice backstory. I was thinking if it was flipped over and you stuck the engines in the back where that gun is you'd have a good ship too. I like the idea of it being some sort of landing craft or tug with an oversized gun on it.

[@000NULL]

Oh, also that looks like an actual vintage white-soled tennis court shoe, upside down, with something over the mid-sole and heel. The shoe is flipped upside-down to hide the laces, and the sole is obscured to break up it’s shape. With the bright lights used to film miniatures, a white sole and side detail would be pretty washed out, so the tread wouldn’t be super visible, especially if he just put some paper or plastic over the toe box Actually if you rotate the image down you can see that the grey smudge and the black area is where they had taped a rod, then they blurred that area out and cut the rest of the rod from the image.

In the EU era it would have been confirmed to have been an actual shoe and there would have been a 6 novel series giving the backstory of Rebel special operations pilot Jace Windowasher who was a hero of the Galactic Civil War and at least peripherally involved in major events dating back to the Battle of Yavin at least, who was heroically killed at Endor while flying a crippled A wing directly into the path of a turbolaser blast that would have crippled the Millennium Falcon, thus indirectly saving the Rebellion's chance to destroy the Second Death Star. His shoe miraculously survived the massive shot of plasma energy that disintegrated everything else. He wore a loose loafer even in combat because his feet had been injured by an Imperial bio-weapon in the vicious campaigns of Ord Mantell. And that series would have been awesome.

[@WatchVidsMakeLists]

1:29 It looks like you were interpreting only the white part of the shoe here, but it seems to me that the outline of the shoe (indicated by the reflection of light) is a little bigger, and that there is a black section which makes it more tennis-shoe like in proportion. You can think about it like Converse: they generally have white soles and white tips, but then there is a base color/pattern for the rest of the shoe. To be honest, though, we're splitting hairs (or shoelaces?) at this point. Good job finding the shoe!!
