This project recreates Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing targeting computer from the iconic Death Star trench run scene in Star Wars: A New Hope.

The prop features a looping trench run targeting display, illuminated control panel LEDs, and optional sound, recreating the look of the targeting computer seen inside Luke’s X-Wing cockpit during the final attack on the Death Star. 

 

This isn’t meant to be a 100% screen-accurate replica of Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Targeting Computer from Star Wars: A New Hope. There are actually two pretty distinct versions seen in the scene — the physical prop itself, and the version shown with the screen, buttons, and lights. Trying to combine both into one small desktop unit didn’t really work the way I wanted, so I ended up taking a more inspired-by approach instead.

 

I wanted this to still feel recognisable and fit the Star Wars look, while also working as a compact display piece. I also took a bit of inspiration from the X-Wing Targeting Computer card art from the Star Wars TCG, which helped shape some of the design choices.

 

So while it’s not a perfect one-to-one replica, it’s my own take on the targeting computer that blends elements from the different versions into something I think looks right at home on a desk or display shelf.

 

The system is powered by a Raspberry Pi 3B, which automatically boots and launches the fullscreen video display when powered on. Once assembled, the targeting computer acts as a standalone sci-fi display piece perfect for desks, shelves, or Star Wars collections.

Features
• Looping Death Star trench run targeting display
• Screen inspired control panel layout
• Multiple LED indicator lights across the front panel
• Optional audio with adjustable volume
• Powered by Raspberry Pi 3B
• Automatically boots straight into the video display
• Designed for a 3.5" HDMI screen

 

Clear/Transparent Filament

Unfortuneatly Bambu Lab doesn't make a clear filament, I used Clear Transparent PLA filament from Sunlu using the Bambu Lab Translucent PLA preset. But any clear filament should do fine as long as you change the preset to the correct filament you are using
