The OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition model was launched in the Indian market ahead of the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the latest installment in the movie franchise. The new OnePlus 5T variant is the most expensive OnePlus smartphone in the country yet, and features a few customisations that distinguish it from the standard version of the handset. These include a white back panel with a Star Wars logo on it, a red Alert Slider, 10 preloaded wallpapers, and other software customisations. The company has also bundled a rugged case with the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition, one that is designed after Kylo Ren's helmet from the movie.

Getting really geeky, OnePlus explains the Sandstone White back panel of OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition smartphone is inspired by the white-coloured salt plains of the mineral planet Crait, featured in the movie. The red of the Alert slider is based on the red-coloured mineral mined on the planet. The box - which also features Star Wars branding - also contains Star Wars stickers, apart from the standard OnePlus ones. Finally, there is a customised theme with red accent, black and white colours. The Star Wars partnership for the OnePlus 5T Limited Edition is only in India and a few Nordic regions, OnePlus said, such as Denmark, Finland, and Sweden.
