Until the Flags of the Galaxy series, Star Wars fans were unaware of what each planet's flag might look like. However, thanks to this artistic project, each fictional place is given its own symbolic emblem.
Art director -- and obvious Star Wars fan -- Scott Kelly is the creative genius behind the Flags of the Galaxy series. For this interesting project, the artist created distinct flag designs for each planet mentioned in the sci-fi saga. Kelly even goes as far as categorizing each planet based on location, while also providing an in-depth description as to what each flag symbolizes.
From the Core Worlds' Aaeton to the Mid Rim's Togoria, Star Wars fans can pursue these flag designs on the Flags of the Galaxy website.
