This year has indeed been the year for Obi-Wan Kenobi. The TV series has been a massive hit, and the team on Lucasfilm couldn’t let this go unnoticed. That’s why Doug Chiang, vice president, and executive creative director of Lucasfilm, decided to collaborate with Volkswagen on two vehicles inspired by the famous Jedi master.
Remember that Chiang was in charge of designing the famous podracer, U-wing, and many other iconic Star Wars vehicles. So, naturally, it was the perfect opportunity to combine his two passions:
“I got into film design because I love car design. So a collaboration like this with VW is really wonderful because I can see the other side."
The ID. Buzz vehicles portray both the light and dark side (The Jedi Order and Galactic Empire symbols also appear on each car.). The Light Side Edition includes a beige lower half, Obi-Wan’s Jedi tunic and robes, and the chrome top is as blue as Obi-Wan’s memorable Jedi weapon. On the Dark Side Edition, a shiny and matte blacks give the car a “sith” feel, while intense reds take us directly to Darth Vader’s lightsaber.
