Story summary
- Colin Cantwell revealed the X-Wing Fighter was inspired by a pub dart.
- In a 2016 Reddit AMA, he said he aimed for an ultracool, distinct, 'alien' look.
- Cantwell used plastic model parts called nurneys to draft the initial design because LEGO Star Wars sets released later.
- He described the design as 80% looks, 10% aerodynamics, 10% whimsy, and noted that the X-Wing now resides in a Boeing museum.
