Instead of focusing on Jedi or Sith, the story centers on starfighter pilots—likely a new generation—navigating a fractured political landscape and emerging threats.

Logo
Here are the logos in black and white.
This logo has a very retro feeling which starwars has traditionally. I was also inspired by the aircraft shapes in starwars which is a key component to this story.
I used blue as the main type color with a brown background for contrast. I think this matches well with the orange imagery used in design which will be touched on.
The type used in the logo is Gajraj One while the general type in the poster layouts are Alternate Gothic as seen below

Wouldn't it be nice if......
a campaign idea
Starwars have always presented the pilots in cuts of them speaking in a grid or cuts between conversation in a shoulder shot. It always us to see the pilots within the ships rather than them being a mystery.
If starwars did a zoom collaboration and created team backgrounds where people in the meeting could transform their space. To connect audiences together highlighting such an iconic filming aspect in starwars.
