‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Merch Reveals Snoke’s Mega Star Destroyer
Supreme Leader Snoke has to have a ship befitting his title, and now we have further confirmation that this ship will be theMega Star Destroyer, purported to be the largest starship we’ve seen in theStar Warsuniverse (no the Death Star doesn’t count).
Details emerge thanks to the release of the BB-9E Sphero toy, which came equipped with an app that gave us some more technical details on the ominous-sounding Mega Star Destroyer that we will see inStar Wars: The Last Jedi.
With the release ofa whole bunch of newStar Warstoysfor Force Friday II comes new details about the ships and creatures ofStar Wars: The Last Jedi. Just as welearned of the existence of the Mega Star Destroyerearlier this month thanks toStar Warsmerchandise, Sphero’s new app for their remote control droid offers us a first look at Snoke’s gigantic new ride.
The Mega Star Destroyer, revealed to go by the nameThe Supremacy, will serve as The First Order’s nomadic headquarters, and houses both Snoke’s throne room as well as the command center for the First Order. you may see screenshots from the app below (viaScreenRant):
According to the app,The Supremacyis the only Mega-class Star Destroyer, and is about 60 kilometers (that’s just over 37 miles) long. In addition to docking Star Destroyers, it looks likeThe Supremacycan build and repair new ships, which makes The First Order an even more fearsome foe to the Resistance.
Earlier this spring,MakingStarWarsrevealed some details about the Mega Star Destroyer, noting that this is where Snoke will likely spend much of his time duringStar Wars: The Last Jedi:
Snoke will be on his Mega Destroyer for a lot of the film from what I understand. I think his “palace” could be inside this ship once referred to as a “mobile command unit.” The Mega Destroyer itself is shaped like a flying wing. It just might be the biggest ship we’ve seen inStar Warsoutside of a Death Star.
The design ofThe Supremacyseems to be eschewing what we know of typicalStar Destroyerdesigns, which are elongated and dagger-shaped.The Supremacyalmost looks like a traditional Star Destroyer flipped sideways. We’ll likely see more details about the ship in the coming months as marketing really ramps up.
