| - "Solar Sailer" is the fifteenth song by Daft Punk from the album Tron: Legacy Soundtrack. Its length is 2:42.
- While cheap and easy to produce, solar sails were not widely used as a propulsion system, for three main reasons: the first was that the sail was at its most efficient when traveling close and directly away from a star. Solar wind and photons were only exploitable in the general vicinity of a star, and changing directions would imply either the use of gravity from a nearby stellar object, or the inclination of the whole sail. The second reason was the sail's size: even a small ship would require a very large sail to be accelerated to hyperspace entry velocity, thus increasing the overall ship's size. This could be averted to a point by storing the sail away when not in use. The third reason was that the sail was rather fragile: micrometeorites and random stellar debris could very quickly and irremediably shred a solar sail to the point of uselessness. A major advantage of the solar sail, however, was that since it used no on-board fuel, it left no readily identifiable residues, and its passage was virtually undetectable once the ship had departed. Count Dooku had a one-of-a-kind solar sail procured from the Gree Enclave fitted to his Punworcca 116-class interstellar sloop, which he used as his personal transport prior to and during the Clone Wars. Very small for a sailer, with a sail of exotic matter powered by mysterious undetectable energies, Dooku's interstellar sloop was one of the most unique craft in the galaxy.

Count Dooku owned a Solar Sailer during the Clone Wars which he used as a personal transport. Using a Punworcca 116-class Instellar Swoop manufactured on Geonosis, Dooku had a sail fitted to this vessel converting it into a solar sailer. Dooku used this vessel to escape Geonosis in the aftermath of the first battle of the Clone Wars.

In the graphic novel TRON: Betrayal, Kevin Flynn created a transport vehicle similar to the solar sailer and crashed it into a building. Luckily Tron was there to save Flynn from his fall.
