Star Wars: Force for Change - An Update from J.J. Abrams - General

We need a Rebel (and/or New Republic) fighter for each letter of the alphabet. So far we have A, B, E, K, X, and Y

[QUOTE=LennyPenny;45464447]I somehow liked the prequels more because they showed a bigger conflict and didn't focus so much on a small set of characters. You know the republic vs the galactic empire (or separatists or w/e can't remember) instead of luke vs jabba with some mixed in rebel alliance at the end. I watched all of them as a kid though, so I'm probably spoiled by all the cool clone wars and didn't care for acting. Really curious on what episode 7 will take us to.[/QUOTE] how to spot a 10 year old on Facepunch [highlight](User was banned for this post ("can you stop being so rude already" - postal))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=Diet Kane;45469973]how to spot a 10 year old on Facepunch[/QUOTE] if he watched the prequels as a kid, he could be like 20 something now

[QUOTE=Tuskin;45455300]I think the Wings split in the middle, you can see the crease, they're not stacked like the T-65 in the old movies. Plus look at how the Cannons are connected, they're on their own pieces. [img]http://i3.minus.com/iuz8a8wBX4M39.jpg[/img] There is no S-foil. Its a Z-95. Also the Z-95 didn't have 4 cannons.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Pretty Obscure;45470065]if he watched the prequels as a kid, he could be like 20 something now[/QUOTE] I am a twenty something that saw the prequels as a kid and loved them! I feel like a lot of people shit all over the prequels because they feel like they have some obligation to hate them to be ~true Star Wars fans~

Seeing how quickly people started referencing book materials, what would you guys recommend as I want to read some of the lore i guess you could call it.

[QUOTE=Kyle902;45471345]Blank Quote[/QUOTE] It's most likely [I]not[/I] a Z-95. I can see what Tuskin's talking about and he looks to be right.

The things I hate about the first one are the terrible characters/bad character development, pretty much the entire Tatooine story arch, and the overall lack of anything interesting happening.

[QUOTE=omarfr;45465956]I still like watching the prequels for the battle scenes...[/QUOTE] The music was pretty great, too.

[QUOTE=Skyward;45469585]Fun-Fact: The B in B-wing stands for "Best" [t]http://i.imgur.com/ZCQU761.jpg[/t] HHHNNNNNNGH[/QUOTE] I've never ever liked the B-wings design, It's hyper-impractical but it doesn't even look cool to make up for it.

Impractical... Star Wars? Imagine that...

Episode II maybe adds more to the series but as a movie of its own it doesn't really go anywhere. I should maybe watch them again though, I don't know how many years it's been since the last time.

[QUOTE=NikoChekhov;45466905]X-Wings are super cool, but my favorite Rebel Fighter has to be the Y-Wing [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Skyward;45469585]Fun-Fact: The B in B-wing stands for "Best" [/QUOTE] [t]http://i.imgur.com/ZDXtvgy.jpg[/t]

Not looking like a B is part of its charm tho

[QUOTE=TheHydra;45459217]the proper order is 4-5-6 and then the plinkett reviews[/QUOTE] Alternatively you can watch Belated Media's videos on how Star Wars 1 and 2 should have been, his ideas would have made for much better movies than what we got.

The new x-wing totally makes sense, considering that the movie is pretty advanced past the original trilogies in terms of time. And there were like 3-4 different versions of X-wings as well, with varying armanments and loadouts, including one without an astromech. I also believe that the X-wing used in the original trilogy is also really only a prototype and not the final vision of what the designers wanted the X-wing to be. So I guess we'll see

[QUOTE=Skyward;45476487]Not looking like a B is part of its charm tho[/QUOTE] it looks like a lower case b from the side though
