Do Imperial Star Destroyers have shields?
Imperial I-class and Imperial II-class Star Destroyers each carried two ISD-72x generators/sensor arrays. This deflector shield required a massive amount of energy, drawn from the Star Destroyer’s main reactor via power generators located deep within the command tower.
Why are the Star Destroyers white in rogue one?
The first, frankly, is a trifle: The Star Destroyer is white, instead of the murky grey of the Star Destroyers in the original trilogy, because white was largely used by the costume designers and scenic artists of the 1970’s science-fiction cinema.

Do Jedi Starfighters have shields?
The use of deflector shields on starfighters and other small craft, made them capable of hypersonic speeds in planetary atmospheres.
Are deflector shields possible?

How did the Star Destroyer’s deflectors work?
The vanes projected both ray and particle shields and were scattered along the “crown”, one function per vane. This deflector shield required a massive amount of energy, drawn from the Star Destroyer’s main reactor via power generators located deep within the command tower.
Are there any Star Destroyers in the Galactic Empire?
Following the transformation of the Republic into the Galactic Empire, the Republic’s Star Destroyers were incorporated into the new Imperial Navy.

What kind of generators did the Star Destroyers have?
Imperial I-class and Imperial II-class Star Destroyers each carried two ISD-72x generators/sensor arrays. The shield projector vanes were positioned in a crown formation around the command tower’s sensor globes. The vanes projected both ray and particle shields and were scattered along the “crown”, one function per vane.
