Are you a Star Wars fan? And a OnePlus fan as well? If the answer is "Yes" for both, you're going to love what we have here.

OnePlus launched its latest OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition smartphone in India on Thursday, December 14, bringing Star Wars fans the ultimate memento that honours the franchise.

You can now flaunt the OnePlus 5T Star Wars edition smartphone at the next Comic-Con gathering, but don't be fooled, as it can also be your extension to connect with the world.

OnePlus 5T is one of the best flagships out there, and dipping it in a Star Wars theme combines the two most powerful forces. The end-result? You'll have to be stronger than the Resistance to completely ignore this themed handset.

Be it the Rebel Alliance or the First Order, OnePlus 5T strikes a balance between the two by combining a Kylo Ren-themed special case for the phone, which is no less than the Jedi fighters.

Optimum performance is at the heart of the OnePlus 5T, which takes on its rivals with brutal force with the looks ghastly warrior.

Adorned in a white sandstone-finish back cover with a hint of red mineral from the planet of Crait in the Alert Slider, the OnePlus 5T Star Wars edition is the best themed smartphone we've seen so far.

It's not just the looks that represent the Star Wars theme. Boot up the phone to see what's inside. You'll be welcomed to a specially-designed theme of Star Wars on the new OnePlus 5T.

With a multitude of wallpapers, you can choose your favourite character from the franchise to flaunt your fandom.

Star Wars fans have for years used mobile cases and wallpapers to adorn their smartphones, but this OnePlus 5T Limited Edition is the first true dedication that they deserve.

After briefly using the smartphone, we found the sandstone finish at the back, which is smooth yet grainy, and the red Alert Slider stealing the show. But there's also a Star Wars label below the OnePlus logo at the back, which is hard to miss.

The colour selection is well-balanced. Any more red or white could've easily spoilt it, but OnePlus has got it down to the very T.

But you haven't witnessed the true form of the OnePlus 5T Star Wars edition unless you put on that Kylo Ren phone cover.

[SPOILER ALERT]

You'll immediately feel the power to slice the Supreme Leader Snoke in half. And if you think the case is going to be uncomfortable, you're largely mistaken.

Above all, the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition is still a OnePlus 5T at heart. Its powerful Dash Charge fast-charging solution is like hyperdrive allowing a starship to reach lightspeed and traverse the void between stars in the alternative dimension of hyperspace.

We've reviewed many phones, but Dash Charge in the OnePlus smartphones is the best fast-charging solution we've managed to get our hands on.

The Snapdragon 835 chipset paired with 8GB RAM is like the new Resistance Bomber ships shown in The Last Jedi's initial war scene. It can make the heaviest tasks look easy.

There's the usual fingerprint scanner in a new position, which works as great as the mothership's shield defence system with ever-lasting fuel.

The dual camera on the back with 16MP and 20MP sensors and the 16MP snapper on the front will capture photos faster than the attention of Dark Forces.

Overall, OnePlus 5T brings its best game to the theme of one of the most epic movie franchises ever in history At Rs. 38,999, or Rs. 1,000 more than the regular OnePlus 5T Midnight Black, Star Wars fans have a new home that won't crash into the enemy ship.

Owners of the new OnePlus 5T must be extra careful to protect the device from dirt as the white really picks up those stains.

The Star Wars-edition OnePlus 5T is going to be available in limited quantities, so act soon if you're certain about it.

Is the OnePlus 5T Star Wars limited edition solely for hardcore Star Wars fans? The answer is definitely yes. But we also found a small window of opportunity for those who haven't watched a single Star Wars movie.

This new smartphone brings back the good-old sandstone finish that OnePlus originally flaunted proudly when OEMs were busy with plastic, metal, and glass.

So if you want the sandstone finish without having to buy a separate case, the Star Wars edition is for you whether you are a Star Wars fan or not (and we aren't judging).

But OnePlus 5T Star Wars edition isn't going to answer any questions people might have about the epic series.

To fix that, you can host a movie marathon and Star Wars can be your theme. Or you can simply choose to not answer anyone's questions. That's completely up to you.
