Star Wars is known for its great story, well-developed characters and out-of-this-world settings but it also presented us with the best spacecraft in any science fiction film. It was quite an achievement for Lucas films to be able to create space vehicles that are believable and at the same time imaginary for their time. With its worldwide popularity, it wouldn't be a surprise if the concepts and designs of the space crafts will be used as inspirations for air and ground transport in the near future.
