Star Wars superfans can now design their own droid

Autodesk Star Wars droid challenge; a robot stands on a desert planet.

To celebrate Star Wars May on May 4th Day Autodesk has teamed-up with Disney and Lucasfilm for a unique artistic challenge that will have fans of the movies opening Maya, 3ds Max or Fusion and excitedly noodling new droid designs.

The challenge launched today by Autodesk is simple: design a droid. Autodesk has a long history of working with Lucasfilm, and Autodesk software was used to design and make the new Star Wars droid that will appear in Disney+ TV show The Acolyte, streaming June 4, so this contest feels perfectly on brand (see our pick of the best Star Wars posters and the best Lego Star Wars Day deals for more May the 4th goodness).
