Each of the vehicles or spacecraft we see in the films has become an iconic classic of our time.

Unlike the curves and flowing forms of nature, the harsh lines and angles of man-made objects just cry out to be represented in folded form. Throughout the course of origami history, most of the animal kingdom has been represented in paper one way or another, in most cases far better than I could ever hope to match, so rather than try to compete in an already saturated market, for my first original designs I decided to branch out in a different direction.
