009 Archivescornerstone of modern entertainment is ships.

Not just any old ships. I'm talking specialships. Ships that make you yearn for more than what you get on the big screen. Those sweet, sexy ships.

Star Wars is chock-full of ships that have made die hard fans dream up all kinds of fantasy scenarios in their minds ever since the the first movie premiered in 1977. That tradition continues in Solo: A Star Wars Story, where ships abound.

In honor of Solo: A Star Wars Story, we've rounded up some of the best, sexiest Star Wars ships of all time to get your juices flowing.

TIE Interceptor

An oldie but manwhat a goodie. This sleek little ship is leagues better than the classic but oh-so-basic TIE Fighter. The Fighter's flat-ass wings are nothing compared to the Interceptor's curvy wings, which lend themselves not only to a better overall physique but also superior arms to fight back against the rebels.

X-wing Starfighter

Not only is the X-wing one of the most reliable ships in galaxy, it's also one of the most flexible. It can gear up and get fast when needed, but it can also slow it way down and maneuver expertly through tight spaces — ever hear about what happened to the Death Star? Plus it's always up for a little dogfighting, if you're into that kind of thing.

The Profundity

If size is what you're looking for, look no further than The Profundity. This absolute unit of a ship is the definition of thick. It's so large that it successfully disguised itself as a sky-scraping building before launching and becoming the Alliance's flagship. Just take one look at that fin and you can see why this ship is a crowd pleaser.

Sith Infiltrator

Sometimes you need to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and just fly under the radar. The Sith Infiltrator is the perfect ship for a discreet rendezvous, able to touch down almost anywhere without being noticed and available at a moment's notice with a handful of fun toys to gather important intelligence with.

IGV-55 Surveillance Vessel

If you're just looking for ship to shut up and be a good listener, look no further than the IGV-55 Surveillance Vessel, also known as the Imperial Listener. Look at those radars. This thing can barely do anything butlisten. You can tell this ship about all your problems, big and small, and it'll just soak up your grievances like a sponge.

Millennium Falcon

The one-of-a-kind Millennium Falcon gets down anddirty. Known primarily for its impressive work in the seedy smuggling scene, this ship will get you and your friends wherever you need to go and look good doing it. And if you ask it nicely, this baby will take you into hyperdrive.

Naboo N-1 Starfighter

This sleek and smooth little ship may not seem like it packs too much of a punch, but it's the tech here that really counts. The Naboo N-1 Starfighter has an impressive autopilot system that lets you enjoy everything this ship has to offer, hands-free. It's just flashy enough to make you feel like the elegant person you are, and the chrome keeps things cool even on the hottest planets.

Cloud Car

Featuring twin cockpits, Bespin's infamous Cloud Car is a lot to manage solo. But with the help of a friend and a little practice, this atmospheric ship will change your life. Sure, it can be a little unwieldy at first, but once you and your partner get a good rhythm going, you'll be soaring up on cloud nine. The dual pods are nothing to laugh at and they'll get you exactly where you need to go.
