Nissan Star Wars

A look at Nissan's "Star Wars: The Last Jedi"-inspired show vehicles.

At the Los Angeles Auto Show, Nissan introduced their Star Wars themed concept vehicles in celebration of the brand's collaboration with Lucasfilm for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The show vehicles highlight Nissan's dramatic designs and the famous characters and crafts of the upcoming film.

Looking for Nissan concept vehicles for "Solo: A Star Wars Story"?

A team of artists from Lucasfilm penned the designs, guiding colors, textures and graphics to pair the vehicles with various characters from the film Star Wards: The Last Jedi.

In order to show simulated use in battle, each concept has received a unique approach by including extras such as hydro-dipped graphics, surround sound and aged exterior.

After the designs were complete, Hollywood vehicle fabricators at Vehicle Effects in Burbank, California, brought the sketches to life.
