Hmm... I don't know. I think they all had certain aspects of character. When
you think of the MF, it is Han and Chewie. I think both series, 4,5,6 and ,
had memorible vehicles. I did not like the EP1 vehicles at first, but they
have grown on me. I used to hate the TIE fighters, but they are all right
now. I think the Queens starship and the Naboo fighters did an excellent job
of protraying the Naboo royalty, while the Trade Federations vehicles, the
flying wing, the flagships, AAT's, MTT's,STAPS, etc. gave them the assembly
line look, which is a good representation. Also, the Republic Cruiser
getting blown up was extremely ironic.

Eh, the podracers were good, but I think most vehicles did a good job in all
the movies. Except the Landspeeder, that still is bad. Reminds me of a
flying 1979 Chevy Chevette, complete with the questionable driver. (This is
just my weirdness, don't mind it too much!)
