Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter: on-screen debut

The Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter made an on-screen debut in the first episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+ Friday.

The Tri-Wing Starfighter was a collaboration between Porsche and Lucasfilm, who worked together specifically to design this starship as part of the promotion for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Its design was revealed in a video and at the Hollywood movie premiere.

The Star Wars fictional story behind the starfighter is that it was active during the Imperial Era, introduced nine years before the battle of Yavin. One Tri-Wing was briefly seen at the capital city of the Core Worlds planet Alderaan, Aldera. Princess Leia Organa witnessed the Tri-Wing depart the city from a forested area (Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode One). Leia hypothesized that an Aquillian Ranger was piloting it to scout for the Merson pirates. Aquillian Rangers were allies of the Jedi. The Tri-wing Starfighter went on to serve during the New Republic Era, and was used by the New Republic and Resistance.
