- "You can stand to see the Imperial flag reign across the galaxy?"
- ―Saw Gerrera, to Jyn Erso
The Imperial crest was a modified version of the Republic crest.
The Imperial crest,[2] also known as the Imperial insignia,[3] the Imperial logo,[4] or the Imperial Army crest,[5] was the six-spoked symbol of the Galactic Empire. An adaptation of the Galactic Republic's eight-spoked roundel,[2] the Empire's omnipresent sigil[4] adorned many things Imperial, from military uniforms and starships to flags and propaganda posters.[2]
The spoked design of the insignia was likened to a cogwheel.[6]
Behind the scenes[]
The Imperial insignia was designed by John Mollo, who was the costume designer for Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back. In the Q&A feature of the ninety-eighth issue of Star Wars Insider magazine, Mollo revealed that he based the Imperial insignia on shapes used in 18th century fortifications.[7]
