Behind the scenes

Transport eight was first pictured in the official trailer for the Obi-Wan Kenobi television series, which was released on May 4, 2022.[3] It first appeared in the second episode of the series,[2] which was released on May 26, 2022.[4]

In the series' script, the ship was described as an automated transport, so propmaster Brad Elliott decided it was illogical to have a launch key designed for humans. The team decided to use a rigged scomp link computer interface device that had its own circuit board to simulate what an astromech droid would use to start the transport's launch sequence and program the route.[5]
