The cockpit of theMillennium Falcon
Thecockpit orcontrol pod[2] was, usually, the primary center of control for various kinds of vehicles.Pilots operated their vessels from cockpits, managing a variety of instruments that controlled the vehicle's speed, direction, and other operations.Anakin Skywalker was once ordered to stay in the cockpit of anN-1 starfighter during theBattle ofNaboo in order to stay out of harm's way. Skywalker inadvertently flew the craft into battle, however. Although cockpits were normally a part of a vessel's main body,podracer cockpits were tethered to theengines they controlled via cables.[3] Some ground vehicles had an open cockpit, such as theAll Terrain Reconnaissance Transport (AT-RT) walker.[4]

Behind the scenes[]
Pablo Hidalgo has noted "cockpit" as an example of real world term that is accepted amongst theStar Wars fandom as an in-universe term, effectively having been grandfathered into acceptance thanks to its common usage amongstStar Wars works.[5]

Pablo Hidalgo (@infinata.bsky.social) onBluesky (post onApril 10,2025):"Editing the Star Wars-iness of text is an idiosyncratic art and not a defined science. I balk at the use of “footage” due to its outdated terrestrial origins, but we’ve all given “cockpit” a pass because it’s so grandfathered in."(backup link)
