naf Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 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. 6 Quote

TheOrcKing Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 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: 1 Quote

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 Quote

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 Quote

Darth_Raichu Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 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 :) Quote
