Cool Star Wars Photos, Lukes Starfighter Car

What a great Star Wars custom car modification. This looks like a Honda CRX to me but has been modded to be Luke Skywalkers X-Wing Starfighter complete with R2-D2 in the back. Cool and looks great.

Incom industries T-65c A2 Starfighter is usually just called the X-Wing. It is a fighter that has great manoeuvrability and shooting accuracy because of its two wings that split in two by activating S-foils. Each wing has its own laser cannon. It is a single pilot ship, with a socket for an R2 astromech droid that will act as a navigational computer.

The X-Wing was designed by Incom for the Empire but the Empire thought Incom
were Alliance sympathisers and stopped manufacture. The X-Wing team then defected to the Alliance, flying out with all the X-Wing plans and prototypes and then destroying all x-wing records the databases of the Empire and Incom. After that the Alliance then started to make X-Wings themselves.

    The car is a Honda Del Sol from the early to mid 90s. I had a Targa top roof.
    The CRX had either a sun/moonroof or was a hardtop. :)
