This tie-in isn’t so surprising since Renault’s partner, Nissan, has been in full Star Wars mode this fall after releasing a raft of The Last Jedi-themed show cars last month at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and having released a Nissan Rogue special edition for last year’s Rogue One. There are no throbbing strobe lights on this Renault, just some stickers that honor the Millennium Falcon, according to the company, as well as a purple motif on the dashboard. The car also comes with Wi-Fi, a backup camera, 17-inch wheels, and a Bose audio system, if that makes it feel any more special.
The Nissans were clearly made to be a more special than this electric Renault, but the difference is that you can actually buy one of these Zoe Star Wars models — if you act fast and live in France. All 1,000 examples are destined for that market and will be available to order in March, ahead of Solo’s premiere at the end of May.
Exploring the galaxy since 1978, Mark wrote his first fan fiction in '81 and been a presence online since his first webpage Fanta War in 1996. He currently contributes to ILM.com and SkywalkerSound.com, having previously written for Star Wars Insider, StarWars.com, Star Wars Encyclopedia, Build The Millennium Falcon, Starburst Magazine, Geeky Monkey, TV Film Memorabilia and Model and Collectors Mart.
He is a four-time Star Wars Celebration Stage host (the only podcaster to have appeared on every Celebration podcast stage since it began in 2015), the Daily Content Manager of Fantha Tracks and the co-host of Making Tracks, Canon Fodder and Start Your Engines on Fantha Tracks Radio.
