July 21, 201411 yr Looks like the X-Wing from the original concept art. You can see the 4 engines, they just look iike one from the front when the wings are closed. Given the fact that the galaxy went through a large scale civil war 20 or 30 years before ep 7 is set, plus whatever smaller battles took place in between due to the power vacuum the fall of the empire created, I wouldn't expect any major leaps in technology. We'll see more of the "used future" look that the OT is known for.

July 21, 201411 yr Jeeze, I hate to see how the conversation would have gone if there were six little engines or none at all. Hold on, I think I saw some scribbling on the side saying "Anakin was here". Well anyway, glad I picked up my Z-95 Headhunter on sale back when it was considered 'uncool' by the masses. :beee:

I think it is still considered uncool by the masses...
July 21, 201411 yr I agree, the ship looks blah. Not to mention makes no sense at all. The X-Wing had four engines....this has two. So less power. The X-Wing housed an astromech droid to facilitate hyperspace travel...this does not. Seems like a pretty useless ship to me. And that rumored plot.....facepalm....i knew Disney would screw this up. The Ralph McQurrie's X-Wing has a Astromech http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=31295
July 21, 201411 yr Naf, I hate picking on grammars, but shouldn't the text read "Why you fail, that is" ? ;)
July 21, 201411 yr Naf, I hate picking on grammars, but shouldn't the text read "Why you fail, that is" ? Come to think of it, that was one of the few times Yoda spoke 'straight forward' english.
July 21, 201411 yr Come to think of it, that was one of the few times Yoda spoke 'straight forward' english. Boo! I expect consistency from Star Wars franchise. If the best movie in the series has holes like this, how are we supposed to take the all 6 movies seriously ? :D
July 21, 201411 yr Come to think of it, that was one of the few times Yoda spoke 'straight forward' english. Yoda speaks straight forward english more often than people realize.
July 21, 201411 yr Yoda speaks straight forward english more often than people realize. People speak straight forward English less often than people realize.
July 21, 201411 yr People speak straight forward English less often than people realize. Y u need 2 spk wn u can txt ??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gv0H-vPoDc
July 21, 201411 yr To put us back on topic, I'd be thrilled if SW VII has less complicated plot than I, is not as boring as II, and makes more sense than III. So yeah, I set my bar pretty low :)
July 21, 201411 yr Here's the image that was leaked a few weeks ago: Looks like an A-10 Warthog. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

July 25, 201411 yr Yeah, it kind of does. >A-10 by JustOneMoreBrick Very nice replica. I wish LEGO would make military models for adults.
July 25, 201411 yr Very nice replica. I wish LEGO would make military models for adults. They do, the Sopwith Camel. ;-) This is the centennial year of WWI so I expect this model to be a winner.
July 25, 201411 yr They do, the Sopwith Camel. ;-) This is the centennial year of WWI so I expect this model to be a winner. LOL...Not quite what I was talking about.
