A new piece of digital concept art shows off a D-Wing starfighter that was designed so well it would have fit perfectly in the saga finale Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Concept artist Matthew Savage has released a look at his ideas that haven’t make it to the screen (yet) for what a canonical D-wing starfighter could look like. In a post on his Instagram account, Savage revealed what the D-wing looks like in action, as well as shots of the ship in a design environment.

Fans of Star Wars will notice that, like the widely used X-wings, Y-Wings, and A-Wings, the D-wing in this concept art is shaped like the letter it gets its name from. Sorry, B-Wings. The ship looks sleek and fast, almost like a bomber variant of an A-Wing, and includes the requisite spot common to Rebel/Resistance starfighters for an astromech droid. It’s also interesting to see so many different angles of the starfighter, which shows how much thought went in to each detail, and its origin:

Savage recently also posted some concept art showing off the inner workings of Rey’s (Daisy Ridley) lightsaber, which she is seen using in the final scene of the movie. Concept art for Star Wars movies is especially interesting, as it gives fans a detailed look at various props and ships key to the story.

While Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was the final film in the Skywalker saga, there are plans for more films set in the Star Wars Universe, which could possibly include more starfighters like this one. With such a rich and wide universe to draw from, as well as the number of projects currently in the works at Lucasfilm, the possibilities are endless. Fans could very well see a D-wing show up in one of the forthcoming Star Wars titles, but for now, they’ll have to wait and see.
