The culmination of the creative genius of the Star Wars designers, these ships are instantly recognizable.

Star Wars is filled with all sorts of iconic spaceships, ranging from simple X-wings to majestic Venator-class Star Destroyers.

And sometimes their designs are absolutely breathtaking, making viewers applaud the creativity of the designers.

So we have ranked five of the most unique and memorable starships in Star Wars, sticking to those that have only appeared in the movies or TV series.

5. TIE Interceptor

The original design of the TIE Fighter was already iconic, so making it even more memorable and intimidating was no easy task.

But whoever designed the TIE Interceptor did an impeccable job, giving it a whole new feel with surprisingly simple additions to the original design.

With sharp angles given to its wings, the Interceptor looks rather predatory, perfectly reflecting its purpose in combat.

4. U-Wing Starfighter

The designers of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story had to come up with a completely original design for a starfighter, and they didn't disappoint.

This variable-geometry beauty has two modes: folding and unfolding its wings, depending on the situation, and was easily one of the best additions to the collection of ships that came with the new movies.

3. Luthen Rael's Fondor Haulcraft

Already looking sleek and stylish, this ship from the Andor TV series has a number of surprising modifications.

In one of the show's most memorable scenes, Luthen uses twin laser beams to get rid of the Imperial fighters that are chasing him.

2. Slave I

This beautiful ship, which belonged to Jango Fett and later to his cloned "son" Boba, was definitely one of the most unique ships in the original trilogy.

With its vertical flight mode and impressive amount of weaponry, it became an instant fan favorite.

And the sound of its seismic charges exploding is strangely one of the most satisfying sounds in all of Star Wars.

1. Dooku's Solar Sailer

This stunning ship had only a handful of appearances, but it was instantly memorable for its beautiful and unique design.

The most impressive part of it is its sail, which unfolded when the ship entered space, allowing it to fly without fuel.
