The following is a list of science fictional Star Wars starfighters. Within the Star Wars setting, a starfighter is defined as a "small, fast, manevuerable, and heavily armed starship used in direct confrontations between opposing forces." In addition to appearing in the saga's movies and TV series, several LucasArts games depict the player as a starfighter pilot. In the Star Wars universe, starfighters are equipped with the same fictional technology found on other starships. Sublight drives propel starfighters at below lightspeed velocities, with the most common type being the ion engine. These engines are used to lift off from planetary surfaces, travel in deep space and engage other starships in space battles, while inertial dampeners protect the occupants from forceful accelerations. Repulsorlifts are carried as secondary drives for atmospheric flight and when docking or making planetary landings. Some starfighters are also equipped with an internal hyperdrive or connect to an external hyperdrive unit for faster than light travel. The primary weapon on most starfighters are laser cannons, with additional weapons like proton torpedoes boasting additional firepower. Some starfighters are also equipped with deflector shields which can be adjusted to protect specific areas of the ship.

The Kuat RZ 1 A wing Interceptor is a class of starfighter, depicted as fast but fragile interceptors of the Rebel Alliance, conceived for high speed surgical strikes, deep reconnaissance and escort fighter duty. A wings first appear in Return of the Jedi (1983) during the climactic Battle of Endor. It gained popularity through its depiction in several video games, such as Battlefront II and 2015 Battlefront, and has been merchandised by several companies.

TIE fighters—and variants such as TIE interceptors and TIE bombers—appear throughout the original trilogy. They are usually not equipped with shields or a hyperdrive, which makes them mass producible and allows for considerable weapon payloads, or alternatively, for high speed and agility. The pilot has to wear a pressurized suit, as TIE fighters also lack life support systems. Heavier and more advanced TIE craft appear throughout the Expanded Universe, often including shields and hyperdrives as well as heavier armor and weapons; the higher costs for these craft often relegate them to limited deployment.

The X wing starfighter, named for the distinctive shape made when its S Foils are in attack position, was a class of starfighter used by the Rebel Alliance in their conflict with the Galactic Empire. It made its theatrical debut, as the T 65B model, in Star Wars (1977) as the spacecraft piloted by Luke Skywalker and the Red Squadron when Luke destroyed the Death Star. The starfighter featured extensively in the Star Wars original trilogy and in the Expanded Universe that followed, and has been merchandised as a variety of toys and models. It is commonly depicted as an aerospace superiority fighter with a secondary capability as strike fighter.

The Y wing assault starfighter/bomber are depicted as the primary fighter bombers of the Galactic Republic, Rebel Alliance(stripped down and heavily modified version of the former Galactic Republic Y Wing), New Republic, and the newer Y Wing model for the Resistance; being ideally suited for anti shipping, close air support, and ground attack missions. They made their theatrical appearance in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977) and have featured in movies, television shows, and the Star Wars expanded universe's books, comics, and games.

The ARC 170 starfighter or Aggressive ReConnaissance 170 starfighter were flown by clone pilots of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. They first appear in the opening battle sequence of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005) and have featured in the 2008 Clone Wars television series. The fighter's name stems from "ART 170", the file name of the art that established the ship's appearance; during scripting it was simply referred to as the "Clone Fighter." According to background material, the ARC 170 is a rugged and versatile starfighter that can fulfill a variety of roles. A joint venture between the Incom and Subpro corporations, the ARC 170 measures long, with a wingspan of and height of Its crew includes a pilot, a co pilot/forward gunner, a tail gunner, and an astromech droid to act as navigator and make repairs. With its hyperdrive and five day's worth of supplies, the ARC 170 can operate deep behind enemy lines, where the variety of scanners and sensor jammers in its heavy nose help it conduct dangerous scouting missions. Its weaponry includes a pair of forward facing medium laser cannons, mated with targeting rangefinders, which are powerful enough to punch through capital ship armor plating; two aft facing laser cannons for staving off pursuing starfighters; and six proton torpedoes which allow it to conduct bombing missions.

Droid Tri fighters are droid starfighters used by Separatist forces during the Clone Wars. They made their first theatrical appearance in the opening battle of Revenge of the Sith (2005). Original plans to equip the fighters with boosters were abandoned when Lucas decided they were an unnecessary distraction in the already chaotic scene. Its curved braces are deliberately reminiscent of the Trade Federation's circular battleship. The tri fighter is a compact and heavily armed starfighter with three arms surrounding a rotating gyroscopic core. Measuring long, with a wingspan and width, its in universe manufacturer are the Colicoids, the same species which produced Droideka. They are more dangerous than Vulture droids thanks to an advanced heuristic droid brain which better learns from enemy tactics and can be linked to coordinate multi fighter attacks. While not as fast as a Jedi interceptor, the tri fighter has three independent thrusters to give it impressive agility. Four laser cannons, one light cannon on each arm and one nose mounted medium cannon, can fire together or independently. It can also carry between two and six missiles, including proton torpedoes, concussion missiles and buzz droids. The starfighter technically made its first appearance in the video game Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter which was released prior to the movie. Within the Star Wars universe these craft were considered nimble fighters, working equally well in space or in an atmosphere, and afforded the pilot a 360° field of view. Formally known as the Nantex class starfighter and produced by the Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwrights Collective, the Geonosian fighter is long, wide and tall (excluding the cockpit bubble). In addition to a magnetically suspended laser cannon turret, the fighter is equipped with 100 independently aiming narrow beam tractor/repulsor projectors. These projectors are used not only to grapple with other spacrcraft but to help maneuver the fighter by pulling or pushing against surrounding objects. While these fighters are said to possess tremendous acceleration and maneuverability thanks to a unique engine mount (also magnetically suspended), few of these fighters are exported as they are designed specifically around Geonosian senses and dexterity to operate. In the 2003 Clone Wars animated series, Anakin Skywalker is seen flying a customized Delta 7, called the Azure Angel, of which a Lego model was later made. The Jedi starfighter's triangular shape stems from the shape of Imperial Star Destroyers in the original Star Wars trilogy. Industrial Light & Magic designer Doug Chiang identified the Jedi starfighter as one of the first designs that bridges the aesthetic between the prequel and original trilogies. Chiang noted that viewers' familiarity with the Star Destroyer's appearance and Imperial affiliation gives added symbolism to the Jedi craft's appearance and foreshadows the Empire's rise to power. Star Wars expanded universe material states that the Delta 7 was designed specifically with the Jedi's Force aided reflexes in mind by stripping them down and making their controls as responsive as possible. Manufactured for the Jedi by Kuat Systems Engineering, the starfighter measures just long, wide and high, making it difficult to detect. An astromech droid fits in an off center socket on the port side of the Delta 7, but the tiny fighter's size requires the droid's body be modified in order to fit (later Delta 7B models place the socket in front of the cockpit to allow full sized astromech units).

The Eta 2 Actis class light interceptors, also known as "Jedi interceptors", made their first theatrical in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005). In the opening space battle, Obi Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) pilot Jedi interceptors on a mission to rescue Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) from General Grievous. The craft's design was purposefully meant to echo the earlier Jedi starfighter and the TIE fighter, while its opening wing panels were influenced by a feature on Hasbro's toy model of the Jedi starfighter. For filming close ups of the actors, a single full scale model of the Jedi interceptor was created. Since Obi Wan and Anakin's interceptors were individualized with their own color schemes, each actor would perform their scenes separately and switch out, allowing the model to be redressed in between. In universe material states that this new starfighter was meant to expand the Jedi's arsenal as they found themselves on the front lines of the Clone Wars, being smaller but possessing greater firepower than the earlier Delta 7 with twin laser cannons and twin ion cannons. Also built by Kuat Systems Engineering, the Eta 2 is even smaller than the Delta 7 at just long, wide and high with wings deployed, though with enough space for an astromech droid socket inside the port wing. It is also even more maneuverable with two ion engines that can deflect thrust up to 30 degrees. After the Jedi were destroyed during Order 66, the Eta 2 would serve as the inspiration for the Galactic Empire's TIE Fighter. A life size model of a Naboo starfighter hangs suspended from the ceiling of the Blue Wing at the Boston Museum of Science, in Boston, Massachusetts. This 1:1 scale model was unveiled at the museum in April 2004, as a prelude to the Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit. At long, the starfighters are built by the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps using a number of standard components in a custom built spaceframe. The chromium finish on the starfighter's forward surfaces indicate its royal status as an escort for Naboo's Queen. The "rat tail" finial of the main body serves dual roles as a high voltage charge collector and receiver of encrypted information when the fighter is plugged in at the palace hangar, while the secondary finials contain engine heat sinks. Behind the pilot's cockpit, an astromech droid plugs in to perform in flight navigation and maintenance, although the fighter is also equipped with a capable automatic pilot feature. Armament includes twin laser cannons and twin proton torpedo launchers with a capacity for 10 torpedoes.

The Porax 38 appears in Revenge of the Sith as a starfighter piloted by the native Utapauns during the Battle of Utapau. Although featured in a full two page spread in the Revenge of the Sith Incredible Cross Sections book, the fighter's role was significantly reduced in the final film. This was due to the fact that the P 38's digital model, being a late addition to the film, was not completed to the level originally planned, and so was relegated to a background craft.

The Soulless One was General Grievous' personal starfighter, a customized version of a Belbullab 22 starfighter, which made its first theatrical appearance in Revenge of the Sith (2005). After Obi Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) defeated General Grievous on Utapau, he used Grievous' starfighter to escape from his clone troopers attempting to carry out Order 66 and rendezvoused with Yoda and Senator Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits).

The V wing Fighter or Alpha 3 Nimbus class V Wing made its theatrical appearance in the Revenge of the Sith (2005), as the Galactic Republic is formally transformed into the Galactic Empire. Originally, animation director Rob Coleman proposed that TIE Fighters be featured to signify this transition, but George Lucas pointed out that (in the film's chronology) there were nineteen years between the events of Revenge of the Sith and the original Star Wars. Allowing additional time for the TIE fighter to be introduced, a new starfighter was created instead, purposefully similar in both design and sound to the TIE fighter while also resembling the Jedi's Delta 7 starfighter. According to Star Wars canon, the V wing's design combines elements of the ARC 170, V 19 and Delta 7, making it an ideal escort fighter. Introduced by Kuat Systems Engineering during the final days of the Clone Wars, the compact V wing is just long and wide, with its height expanding to when the wings are deployed. An astromech droid assists the pilot with in flight navigation and maintenance. Two pairs of laser cannons on swivel mounts in the wing struts provide a rapid fire offensive punch. The V wing is far more maneuverable than the ARC 170, making it perfect for combating swarms of Tri fighters and Vulture droids, In order to demonstrate that it was both a robotic being as well as vehicle, it was decide to give the vulture droid a transformative element, allowing its wings to fold down and serve as legs. Two 18" maquettes of the vulture droid were built one in ship mode and one in walking mode to help create the digital model. In order to represent the idea of three vulture droids sharing one "brain," animators purposefully linked the motion of each three ship flight when creating the climactic battle of The Phantom Menace. As per Star Wars sources, vulture droids were originally produced by the Xi Char cathedral factories of Hoar Chall Engineering for the Trade Federation before later becoming a mainstay of Separatist fighter squadrons during the Clone Wars. At long when in flight mode, these droid starfighters are designed to engage the enemy in overwhelming swarms, partially to overcome their lack of cunning and resourcefulness. Electromagnetic thrust vectoring makes vulture droids elusive targets to hit, powered by concentrated solid fuel slugs which provide tremendous power but with the drawback of limited range. For armament the droid carries a pair of twin blaster cannons in the wings while two energy torpedo launchers are mounted in the main body; when the wings retract they conceal the blasters and protect them from microparticle and atmospheric corrosion. When necessary, the droid can uses its repulsorlifts to land and transform into a four legged walking configuration to occupy territory, angling its energy torpedo launchers for antipersonnel use. Originally, vulture droids were controlled by a central command ship, but were later given a limited degree of independence. The Hyena Bomber Droid made its first appearance in the 2008 Clone Wars television series.

An improved successor to the X wing, the E wing first appeared in Dark Horse Comics' Dark Empire series. They are one of few Expanded Universe vehicles to be a part of Micro Machines' Action Fleet line. Armed with three Taim & Bak IX9 Medium Laser Cannons and two proton torpedo launchers, the E wing's aerodynamic frame made the fighter highly maneuverable and exceptional in atmospheric flight. Its Class 1 Hyperdrive allowed for extended reconnaissance missions and rapid strategic redeployment. As part of a larger force, the E wing filled a versatile mid range multirole combat aircraft or light torpedo bomber.

A Gauntlet Fighter, or Kom'rk class fighter, is a Mandalorian class of ship. Larger than most starfighters, it can carry a larger crew and accommodate passengers. They were introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars being used by the Mandalorian splinter group Death Watch. Another one known as the Nightbrother later served as Darth Maul's personal craft in Star Wars Rebels. Kom'rk class fighter/transports are equipped with four laser cannons, a Class 1 hyperdrive, and space to carry up to 24 soldiers. Two versions of the starfighter model exist, one long and a smaller variant long.

Asajj Ventress flies the fanblade in the animated Star Wars: Clone Wars series. Just as Ventress' appearance was inspired by a Samurai stance, the ship itself has Asian influences: its design is based on a sensu folding fan. Background literature refers to these as Ginivex class fanblade starfighters, with only six built for Asajj's personal use. long, the starfighters' retractable solar sail helps make the ship extremely fast with a powerful deflector shield but also makes it easier to spot. It is also equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive and a rotating laser cannon mounted on either end of the solar sail.

The V 19 Torrent starfighter first appeared in the 2003 Clone Wars animated series and have appeared in other media related to the Clone Wars. Background material states the V 19 had impressive speed and maneuverability, making it a tricky starfighter to fly. It had three S foils that functioned like those on the X wing and was equipped with two laser cannons and twin concussion missile launchers. At the beginning of the Clone Wars, V 19 starfighters did not have hyperdrives for faster than light travel, instead relying on external hyperspace transport rings to which they would attached. Later models were modified to be equipped with an internal hyperdrive.

The Z 95 Headhunter is a class of starfighter which was first described in the Brian Daley's 1979 novel Han Solo at Stars' End as having swing wings and a bubble cockpit. In the 1980–81 comic strip adaptation, they are depicted like triangular, twin tailed airplanes. It was next depicted in Tatooine Manhunt (1988), an adventure book for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, with artwork based on an early Joe Johnston production sketch. The Z 95 is featured variously in the Expanded Universe, including the X wing: Rogue Squadron comic series (c. 1996–1997), as well as in 2008's The Clone Wars television series, in which it is used by the Galactic Republic. The Z 95 Headhunter is described in the Star Wars Databank as a versatile snub fighter despite being outdated at the time of the Clone Wars. Incom Corporation originally designed the Z 95 for planetary defense forces, and while lacking many features like a hyperdrive or astromech droid it was appreciated for its armaments and internal environmental controls. The Republic commissioned upgraded models of the Z 95 for their clone pilots which featured more powerful weaponry and deflector shields, as well as superior endurance and adaptability. At the beginning of the one shot comic Age of Resistance: Rose Tico, a young Paige and Rose Tico find out who is a better pilot of the Z 95.
