Star Wars has entertained and inspired people for generations. It has impacted sci-fi, special effects, and even had a place in politics (Star Wars Defense program). It has inspired other movies, TV shows, books, toys, and even technology. Geeks and non-Geeks have enjoyed it.

Could it be possible to design and build an aircraft from the movies? Or an aircraft inspired by the Star Wars movies?

I got this idea from talking with my kids - they asked me if it was really possible for the aircraft (spacecraft?) from the movies to fly. I told them there are already some hobby/toy radio controlled airplane and quad copter versions that could fly, but was unaware of any full size versions.

If it were possible to design and build an aircraft from the movies or inspired by the movies, would it be commercially successful? Would lots of people want to buy one?

Also, could it bring lots of non-pilots into the aviation market, potentially boosting the aviation industry? Could it inspire a new generation of youth to want to be able to fly when they grow up?

I think an LSA version would be a great candidate.

I think it`'s an interesting idea. Thoughts?
