Summary
A talentedStarfieldplayer has built Greez Dritus' Stinger Mantis ship from theStar Wars Jediduology. As Bethesda Game Studios' latest RPG, and its first new IP in almost 30 years,Starfieldreleased to great reception earlier this month and has become Bethesda’s biggest game launch ever, garnering over 10 million players in its first two weeks.
Respawn Entertainment’sStar Wars Jedi: Survivor,sequel to 2019’s critically acclaimedStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,also released earlier this year. While it had initially launched in a subpar technical state,Jedi: Survivorreceived high praise for its impeccably written story and characters. The Stinger Mantis is the spacecraftJedi protagonist Cal Kestisand company use to traverse to different planets over the course of both games. As such, the ship has become a staple of the series, and one ofStar Wars' most iconic ships as a result.

Now, withStarfieldfinally out in the wild, many talented and imaginative players have had their hands on the RPG’s robust shipbuilding system, creating a wide variety of different ships that reference other franchises likePokemon, Metroid, and, of course,Star Wars. One sci-fi fan, dstroyer123 on Reddit, posted an image of a ship they’ve created inStarfieldbuilt to resembleStar Wars Jedi’s Stinger Mantis. While the color of theMantis is customizable inFallen Order,Survivorstuck with its original blue and silver colorway. As such, dstroyer123’sStarfieldrecreation does the same, donning the ship’s original blue and silver colors.
Part of what makes the Stinger Mantis such a cool and interestingStar Warsspacecraft is its giant fin that rotates while in flight. While dstroyer123’s version of the Mantis inStarfieldwon’t be able to replicate that fin rotation in space, the recreation looks incredibly accurate. It would also be interesting to be able to see the interior of dstoyer123’s Mantis and whether it accurately mirrors the inside of the actual Mantis from theJedigames. A cooking station would make for a nice representation ofGreez Dritus' onboard kitchen, and a weapon workbench would be accurate to Cal’s own workbench in the very back of the Mantis. All this with the addition of a star map table in the center would make for a solid recreation of the Mantis' interior.
Starfield’s shipbuilding systemhas been the star of the show for many players since the game’s launch earlier this month. As more and more gamers get a hold ofStarfieldin the weeks, months, and years ahead, there are likely to be many more references to iconic games, movies, and franchises made with creative ship builds, especially withStar Wars, as it houses a deep catalog of recognizable ships ripe for recreation in Bethesda’s newest RPG.
Starfieldis available now for PC and Xbox Series X|S.
