As the name implies it is very much in the vein of American Naval Destroyers and Aircraft Carrier but its design is from the Saab 210. The Imperial-Class Star Destroyer is the perfect symbol of mighty Galactic Empire. Although the design of the TIE Fighter is based off folded wings of the Corsair, its properties are more closely related to fast and agile Japanese planes it entered combate against. Those folded wings no doubt gave rise to the Galactic Empire’s TIE Fighter.į4U Corsair mainly engaged in battles over the Pacific against the Japanese. T he Corsair was used mainly on American aircraft carriers during WWII and to conserve room their wings folded up. When you see a Vought F4U Corsair in action you won’t notice any immediate similaries to the Empire’s main starfighter, that is until you see it land. Howling through space and swarming their enemies like ants is the fearsome Galactic Empire’s TIE Fighter. Vought F4U Corsair/TIE Fighters Lucasfilm The Fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy destroyed the second Death Star ending the Galactic Civil War the same way that B-29s dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II. The influence of the B-29 Superfortress is seen on interior, the cockpit is near identical and the gunner stations are all there as well. It is rumored that the saucer design of the Millennium Falcon was derived from a hamburger with an olive sticking out of the side that Johnston was eating on his lunch break.

It originally had a design similar to that of the B-29, longer and sleek but was changed to a saucer shape to avoid any similarities to the ship in the TV show Space 1999. The Falcon was designed by Joe Johnston the director of films such as The Rocketeer and Captain America: The First Avenger.
But any fan of WWII planes can easily see that the Millennium Falcon is modeled after the B-29 Superfortress. It’s probably the most famous starship every made, just about everyone can identify the Millennium Falcon.
