Imperial City, Coruscant — From a galaxy far, far away to a premiere near you: vehicles from the Star Wars universe that Earth officials claim are modified Volkswagen ID Buzzes.
The German manufacturers said this collaboration celebrates Disney’s new Star Wars series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, which arrived on Disney+ in late May. The wraps are based on two landmark characters from the Star Wars universe, the titular Kenobi and Darth Vader.
The light side edition Buzz features a futuristic chrome and blue wrap job, underbody lighting and custom rims, complete with Jedi Order insignia on the wheels’ centre caps and windows—a classic for any space monks with physics-defying powers.
The dark side Buzz Cargo is clad in black and detailed with various shades of crimson, along with tinted windows for the dark lord’s privacy. If the Sith logos don’t tip you off this is a ride for the bad guys, the ominous red glow should.
With both vehicles being custom showcars worked on by experts from Lucasfilm, Industrial Light & Magic and Volkswagen, its safe to say these won’t be rolling off the production lines anytime soon. However, there is nothing stopping you from getting your car wrapped in proprietary designs that look suspiciously close, but totally unrelated to Disney’s copyrighted trademarks.
