Those new AT-ATs look good.
They look like shit. Really, the only new thing where I think, "those look like shit."

At least they're different, unlike those tie fighter.

How do they shoot at people on the ground?
>>63209445
>stationary canons

>>63209539
Implying you would stand near one.
>>63209483
If you as me, AT-ATs will never look good. They look like turtles before, now the look like turtles with their heads in the shell.
So I don't sound like I'm saying everything is shit, I like the new Special Forces TIE Fighters.
>>63209536
I like that Tie fighters didn't change much. The AK-47 hasn't changed much. The idea behind the two are similar. Mass produced weapons that work.
>>63209536
>thing is superficially different
>has exactly the same purpose in the story as before
and that's the new Star Wars films!
>>63209445
Maybe the only thing I liked about prequels is the idea that the empire's military used to be republic's. Or that jedi used to flight in prototypes of TIE fighter. I must admit I liked that twist at the time.
Speaking of no change

They look like fat elephants now. Big bulgy sides and long tusk-like guns in front.
Not half as imposing as the original model.

They're made to inspire fear, not to be practical.
You guys are dumbasses, those are obviously medium-range armored artillery walkers. They don't have the point-defense weapons necessary to be practical for a direct assault.
>>63209925
Regardless of what they're called, they're huge hit spots that were easily solved by every ship in the prequels.
>>63209683
>Prequels
>everything is more futuristic
With the exception of the 'new' X-Wing (it's actually just McQuarrie's split-engine design from around 1975), I don't think anything I've seen from TFA looks anywhere near as cool design-wise as the stuff from the prequels.
The phase one clone troopers especially look way better, in pure design terms at least, to me than the new stormtroopers.
>>63210071
It's cause the empire refused to give any ships a paint job.
>>63210163
not really. pretty much everything from coruscant to vehicles looks as chronologically futuristic as the year the films were made
>>63209445
not a fan, really. Just having guns where the head should be makes it look strange. Looks like a headless turtle
>>63210128
The prequel gear was hit or miss for me, but at least they took a chance on being original. It looks like in TFA they're just playing it safe and trying to land nostalgia points with the fans.
>>63209445
why would you remove the heads
how are they supposed to hit anything that isn't directly in front of them?
>>63210071
Technology advances backwards in Star Wars canon
>>63210128
The droids had great designs too. I loved how the infantry droids looked so fragile (basically walkng gun holders) but their tanks and air crafts were menacing.
>>63209601
You mean the AK series. The AK-47 specifically refers to the rifle first made in 1947.
>>63210318
I keep staring at them and I think that the head is probably in a retracted mode. Like I'm thinking that it can extend out and swivel left and right.
>>63210379
I'm not a /k/ommando but I know that the concept of that rifle hasn't changed much.
>>63209789
>So Fast
>Entire planetary systems dedicated to their cause with quadrillions of tonnes of resources, infinite energy and infinite manpower.
The US was launching supply ships at a rate of 1 every 25 days and you're questioning how an interplanetary empire produces military equipment
>>63210071
I think the idea is that during the Old Republic there was elegance and style because it was a golden age. Then the clone war/empire/rebellion lead to more functional designs.

>>63210355
The droids were a great stormtrooper surrogate. Literal disposable cheap cannon fodder.
It's a shame the clones ended up all being dubious CGI, this armour design is god-tier. Love the pulp sci-fi Rocketeer-esque fin on the helmet.
>>63210128
Prequel Ships all looked awesome, with the worst looking being the Naboo Starfighter (still like it, btw, just not as good as say, the droid ship or the clone transport).
Prequel war machine was pretty well designed, with being interesting and unique. Shame that the movies themselves were garbage.
>>63210128
Yeah but with the prequel stuff, they went too far in a few places.
Like the rate of cool new gear was too high in the prequels. And the rate of change on that gear was also too high.
>>63210454
Pretty sure it was faster than that, famalam.
>>63210760
More expensive, thus makes more sense to utilize them sparingly. But they employ them frequently during the Clone Wars in high stakes situations.
>>63209683
I like the prequel designs more on everything but the x-wing. Something about the simplicity behind the x-wing makes it so alluring.
That being said, if people are complaining about the design of the tie-fighter, perhaps its something along the lines of how fighter planes changed from ww2 to cold war. Sure, there was a large gap of rapidly advancing tech (ww2 with prop planes to jets), but now there's a decline (having an F-15 as your go-to plane for 40 god damn years).
>>63210832
Does it make me a terrible person if I prefer this to any of the OT ships?
It looks like a WWII US Navy Helldiver on steroids.
>>63209445
No they don't.
>>63210803
> Love the pulp sci-fi Rocketeer-esque fin on the helmet.
Prolly my least favorite thing about it. The EP III armor would be even GOATer if it didnt have that.
We cant be friends I guess.
>>63210890
Forgot pic.
>>63210839
In full scale war, tech moves fast.
In the OT, it was just a rebellion after a long, expensive war. I can understand why tech moved so fast in the PT.
>>63209842
>snowspeeder will be piloted by a stronk black woman wearing a niqab.
For all the shit that the prequels did wrong, you gotta admit that they did the ships, lore, atmosphere, and settings just right.
All we really got to see in the original was what? Tattooine, Hoth, Endor and the Deathstar. The prequels built a miniature universe which pretty much created most of the canon Star Wars lore
Of course, there were a few misses like the michdichlorians and the rule of two and what not
>>63210909
It looks too fat to be a fighter, more of a bomber
Still goat tho
>>63210904
It's just a ridge on the Episode III helmets though, to be fair.
Again, these look way better, to me at least, than the new ducktroopers. Shame they didn't get to be practical effects in a better movie.
>>63210803
>deluxe
Damn starwars is really the fast trash food of cinema.
>>63210909
Looks pretty cool, but it flares up my autism.
For one, why even have those 'X' wings on it? They dont do anything. They dont have engines on them, or guns. Its hard to imagine those being significant to its maneuverability.
Also the front end looks dumb. Maybe make it more modest, or pointier.
Im just saying it could be way cooler.
>>63210958
I loved Coruscant. That was a truly great setting that deserved better.
>>63210986
Which makes sense because they're in the prequels. That clunky design would later be refined into the x wings you see in the originals.
>>63210128
It's like the only thing that Lucas was good at.
>>63210986
>It could be way cooler
Pic related.
Reminder that R2 doesn't fit inside the Jedi Starfighter. He also didn't fit properly in the Naboo Starfighter either.
>>63209445
Where's its head?
>>63210958
Yeah I'm glad the prequels exist simply for the worldbuilding they did.
You're right - in the OT we basically never see the "civilized" parts of the universe. There's Mos Eisley, some rebel bases, the Ewok village. Mostly remote or run down outskirts.
The most civilized and inhabited location in the OT - Cloud City - actually looks a lot like the locations in the prequels.
>>63211019
> clunky
Its not clunky, its pointless. Its like the feature was implemented to the vehicle before it was useful.
Right? Like, the bolt action rifle is a refinement of musket technology, but at least both managed to shoot bullets. What if we made a historical fiction film where rifles were just metal poles that werent hollow, and bullets came out of a hole in the woodstock. It would just be confusing to think about why they even had a feature before it apparently did anything.
>>63210997
Originally in return of the jedi, Darth Vader was going to take Luke directly to the emperor on Coruscant.
>>63210803
I thought it looked dumb.
>>63210355
Droids were fucking terrible
Like Lucas went out of his way to not look at all imposing, which kills the tension.
>>63211108
Don't forget the Emperor's lava throne room.
>>63211055
Thats dumb. It even hurts the design having a random droid popping out of it like that.
>>63211133
I kinda liked the second death star's throne room aesthetics better.
>>63211055

>For one, why even have those 'X' wings on it? They dont do anything. They dont have engines on them, or guns. Its hard to imagine those being significant to its maneuverability.
Could be radiators.
here's a conundrum: if Disney releases Special Editions of the prequels, would CGI be replaced by practical effects (e.g. real clonetroopers)?
it's like pottery, it rhymes
>>63209575
If they can't shoot you on the ground next to them then wouldn't the safest place to be is standing on the ground next to them?

Well this really would have brought things full circle. Also what a dick, making Vader meet him in a room full of lava...
>>63211130
I'm sorry you can't appreciate the pulp sci-fi aesthetic that inspired Star Wars in the first place, anon.
>>63211257
Shame we never got Coruscant back then.
>>63211170
I just noticed those ps2 game Wookies man the transition is horrible also all the copy and pasting....
>>63210962
Well there are three dudes in it, I think it is more of a fighter bomber.
>>63210909
>>63210890
That's not a helldiver, it's a P-61 Black Widow
>>63211351
I'd say it's more of a space TBF Avenger.
>>63211257
>I'm sorry you can't appreciate the pulp sci-fi aesthetic that inspired Star Wars in the first place
While it did, iconic SW look always felt more "grounded" than that. Stormtroopers look menacing and cool. Clone troopers look lame comparatively. Except for clone commandos, I guess.
>>63211312

These look so much cooler than what they went with.
>>63209683
>>63210071
Different companies. I think the Republic models were built by Rothana Heavy Engineering, which was a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards. The Empire mainly used Kuat Drive Yards or sometimes used Telgorn or Incom Corporation
Pic related, an Incom Coporation AT-AT barge theta class
Kuat Drive Yards built the AT-ATs and Star Destroyers, as well as the Clone Ships used by the Clones. The Empire and Sheev invested 50 Quadrillion credits into KDY, making KDY the bulk of the Imperial Fleets ship
providers
The DS1-Orbital Station (Death Star) was manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems. SFS got the design from Genosian Industries. Count Dooku originally was in charge of production of the DS-1. The DS-1 was designed by the Genosians as a tool to use against Sheev. Dooku gave the design unknowingly to Sheev, who later used the design. This was after Darth Vader requested his own Star Destroyed Dreadnaught from KDY, and KDY refused, which upset Sheev grealy. SFS also built the Tie-Fighters
>>63211312
didnt clone wars end up using these designs, clone wars really was some of the best star wars material
>>63211447
That version of the AT-AT is based more on the McQuarrie design.
Looks like the Rhino in ASM2.
>>63211449
Its still possibly whats canon I've read that the Emperor had the city redesigned turned the Jedi Temple into his palace
>>63211456
Whoops, I meant: Darth Vader requested his own Super Star Destroyer Drednaught from KDY. He wanted to use it to hunt down rebellions. KDY wouldn't create one for him,which upset Sheev, and ended up ultimately losing the favor of Sheev. But it wouldn't matter because both Vader and Sheev would die, and virtually so would KDY after the empires collapse
>30 years later
>everything is different
>and still it is exactly the same
This is going to be worse than Trek '09. I dout there will be a 10 minute sequence anywhere in the movie that doesnt have an homage to the original series.
>this is not canon
>>63209445
So why is the First Order using ties 30 years later when the empire created a perfect replacement during Jedi?
>>63211486
so he had the whole fuckin planet redesigned?
because the whole fuckin planet is a city
>>63211568
>implying Empire tech hasn't improved since then and that they didn't just apply superior technology and weaponry to the classic, iconic TIE design
>>63211569
Don't forget that not only is the planet one big city. It's a city built upon city built upon city and so on.
>>63211569
This is under Canon.
These are the same people who built 2 Death Stars
The Prequel Trilogy had far superior design to the Original Trilogy for one reason.
Pic related.
>>63211055

its the one where they speculate its literally just a head
>>63210760
Because then there would be tension
>>63211591

>>63211471
Everything from sw rebels is based on mcquarries designs.
>>63211591
mindblowing
>>63211646
Yeah but there is some deviation from his designs. The Snowtroopers look very different, but they brought back the mask design for a type of trooper in the Rebels cartoon.
>>63211614
Love his design so much.
Sucks that they made him a complete buffoon.
>>63210976
Don't you mean the new iTrooper anon?
>>63211747
You'd have to watch the cartoon. Like, the reason he coughs is because Mace Windu crushed his voice box. It's only something fans of the cartoon would have known.
That's also something Lucas did right IMO
>>63211614
More lightsabers don't make you better designed fà m
>>63211569
Sheev is a very rich. He had the entire galaxy under his thumb.
>>63211764
I get that, I saw the cartoon, but why wouldn't you include the cool part in the movie? Wouldn't it be better if he was awesome throughout the movie and mace windu never broke his lungs?
>>63211615
I guess it makes sense they'd only need his head where I assume the computers are and not the main bulk of his body that has all the tools and fire extinguisher
>>63209601
The starfighters that anakin and obi wan used in episode 3 are what evolved into the tie fighter
They changed a lot
>>63211832
It's weird how the V-wing fighters made the Tie Fighter sound at the end of RotS.
>>63211764
Sorry f.am, but that cartoon with Grievous being badass and taking on like 5 jedi/kidnapping Sheev is no longer canon because Lucas got triggered that someone made a better villain than him. In the new canon clone wars cartoon, Grievous is written as a jobber bitch with coughing problems from the start, no Mace Windu crushing his insides excuse.
>>63211791
I feel like the scale of space battles would be like a hundred times larger than in the movies in a real galactic conflict scenario.
>>63211832
Actually...
Sheev Palpatine and Seinar Fleet Systems creates Darth Maul's Scimitar Infiltrator, which evolved into the Tie Fighter
>Under the covert patronage of Senator Palpatine, Raith Sienar established Sienar Design Systems and its Advanced Projects Laboratory, which were apparently responsible for designing Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator: although Raith Sienar fiercely denied any connection to the craft, it does seem that it was connected to Advanced Projects designs, including the starfighter prototypes that would develop into the T.I.E. starfighter and early TIE series designs. By 29 BBY, Raith Sienar had also produced the original Expeditionary Battle Planetoid design that later became the Death Star. Even after the Clone Wars ended with the Declaration of a New Order in 19 BBY, the Sienar Fleet System, alongside Kuat Drive Yards, continued to produce warships, ground vehicles and other war machines at a quick pace, because of Palpatine's desire to extend Imperial rule throughout the civilized galaxy. This in turn led to the Reconquest of the Rim taking place from 19 BBY to 17 BBY.
>>63211924
>Now that we have killed Darth Maul, lets investigate where he came from.
>Oh look, its his starship. Lets look at its records of where it traveled to, and get its makes model and year.
>>63211108
after looking at these images, its depressing to think how much better star wars could have been better.
>>63211471
What! Ralph mquarrie was a paleontologist way ahead of it's time!!?!
>>63212029
return of the jedi would've been GOAT without endor/ewoks and most of the tatooine segment, the death star space battle and luke confronting vader should've had way more time devoted to them since that's what the trilogy was obviously building towards
>>63212029
It had the potential for being much better then it turned out. I believe if the movies were more adult themed, and cared about its lore, it would have been awesome
Reminder that the Empire forced to make these less effective versions because of the war situation. Pic related, the Germans had to make more and more of these by wars end because tanks with turrets took too long.

>>63209683
I know people use this image as some sort of defense of the prequels but it actually works against it. The prequel designs look like exactly what they were meant to be, brand new ships to sell more toys with just the smallest hint back to the original trilogy to feign a connection where there isn't one. the Ep. VII designs are trying to be iterative by using the old concept art (which was more advanced looking in most cases) as a starting point to create plausible new versions of the old ships.
Keeping the bog-standard TIE design around is pretty stupid and they're only doing it to bank on ep. IV nostalgia but still I'd rather have TIE v.1.2 vs. w/e the fuck that thing is from the prequels that in no way at all looks related to a TIE fighter. All they did was put in a small version of the window and some little flaccid pop-up panels to trick idiots into thinking that it's a proto TIE-fighter.
>>63212258
>the city of Germany's inferior manufacturing capability

>in no way at all looks related to a TIE fighter
>ignoring the wing design, and the fact the cockpit is almost identical to a TIE
This is what happens when Stevie Wonder is left in charge of the visual department.
>>63212458
So you can crashland it on an airfield which has no point in existing because all ships are VTOL in Star Wars, even the speeder bikes
>>63212258
https://youtu.be/IhV_75E7L0g?t=1m1s
Are there any essential Stug life movies?
Are z-95 headhunters still canon?
So anyway, are the ridiculous solar panels on TIE fighters supposed to make us believethey are solar powered? Because even if the empire somehow created magical 100% efficiency cells, there's no way it could somehow power any space ship, let alone a fighter
>>63212458
Probably because they have the capacity to fly in the atmosphere of planets, or have you not seen any of the footage from the new film?
>>63212490
You obviously don't know what TIE stands for.
>>63209683
All it needs is one game changer. There's a reason battleships are historically classified as pre and post-Dreadnought. Because at no other point they saw such a radical change in design
>>63209601
>>63209536
What the fuck happened to TIE Interceptors?
>>63212490
Perhaps they only power auxillary systems
>>63212474
>the cockpit is almost identical to a TIE
You know except for the fact that it has a giant bubble canopy, is full of fucking air and is sitting on top of the rest of the ship.
That ship is also at best half the size of a TIE fighter, watch the movie again it's like the size difference between an A-wing and a Y-wing. It's a tiny, over-designed, almost completely unrelated ship that at the last minute got the iconic front window and some small panels to match the TIE fighter. It's the visual equivalent of those republic star-destoryers getting the grey paintjob at the end to say "look guys! star destroyers just like the ones in those good movies you like!"
>>63212485
>Are z-95
Yep

>>63212490
They apparently supposed to be radiators, not solar panels.
I hope in the new movie they show us a PoV shot from the TIE pilot inside the helmet, it would be neat if they can see through those wings, would make those ships a lot more effective. VR and whatnot.
>>63212393
the sideskirts make it look like it is wearing a cute dress :3

>>63212609
Gee, I dunno...why are things different looking now than they were in the 90s?
>>63212549
Nice. I always liked the z-95, not the best fighter out there, but dependable, nice enough looking and everyone used them.
>>63212629
Then it would be a ripoff
>>63211568
The NT TIES are probably upgraded from these. They just went back to a more familiar design to further reiterate that the empire is striking back.
>>63212708
I'm not talking about butthurt gooks jerking off over their stupid ass battleship by running it through a photocopier at 2x and then drawing fins on it.
You show an average person a Star Destroyer and say "point out all the guns" they're just going to point to the 8 or so along the sides when in reality the thing is supposed to have like a hundred goddamn turbo lasers.

You're an idiot. I already said that the NT TIEs were very likely not the same TIEs from the OT.
Do you really think they'd just repaint old TIEs? Bullshit. These things are gonna have a whole new list of specs, and they'll end up being an update to the TIE interceptor. Hell, they may even have shields.
>>63209445
>>63212896
Well it was just a very early kitbash to get an idea of what it should look like.
>>63212898
>Rick McCallum offered McQuarrie a role as designer for the Star Wars prequel trilogy, but he rejected the offer, noting he had "run out of steam" and Industrial Light & Magic animator Doug Chiang was appointed instead. McQuarrie retired and his Star Wars concept paintings were subsequently displayed in art exhibitions, including the 1999 Star Wars: The Magic of Myth.[3] Several of McQuarrie's unused designs from the original trilogy were utilized for the Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels animated TV series,[11] including the planet Orto Plutonia, which was based on McQuarrie's original design of Hoth,[8] and the characters Zeb Orrelios and Chopper, based on his original designs for Chewbacca and R2-D2, respectively.[12][13] The influence of his original concept art can also be seen in the design of the X-Wing fighters in Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Ralph McQuarrie had nothing to do with the prequels. It's just that Lucas seems to be better at hiring artistic talent than Abrams.

this ain't far from the truth m8, still made me chuckle
>>63211108
this I like
>>63211133
this I don't. I like it when star wars looks like tech fantasy. when it gets too close to actual fantasy it's not as good
>>63213271
It actually makes sense in a way.
If you consider the Knights of the Old Republic games for example, it seems the Star Wars universe has reached a point of zero innovation. Nobody in the universe seems to really understand how all of their amazing technology works, it's something that's been lost to the aeons. If they need to know anything, they have droids and archives for that. Even something like the Death Star is simply a novel application of millenia-old technology.
With that in mind, once the Jedi archives are destroyed between Episodes III and IV, and the war starts killing off the last few people who truly understand how all this shit works, technology would indeed start moving backwards as the knowledge of its workings is lost.
>>63213349
Sounds like 40K
>>63211549
This ugly shark looking piece of shit? Thank god.
>>63212868
wouldn't the logical way to design a star destroyer be that it would be symmetrical all over? you don't need to place a bridge like that because there's no up or down in space. wouldn't you want to be in the centre of the ship where it's protected, instead of jutting out like that?
>>63213238
Apparently Lucas saw the Eagle spaceship from the tv show Space 1999 and thought the early Falcon looked too much like the Eagle, so the Falcon was redesigned to the circular version that appeared in A New Hope
>>63209445
It blends in a little too well with the background. Both look fake.
>>63213379
Fun fact: 40k was created after a fledgling Games Workshop failed to acquire the Star Wars license. Rogue Trader: Warhammer 40,000 was originally intended to be tabletop skirmish rules for Star Wars.
>>63209445
They have pencil dicks for heads.
>>63212097
kek, underrated post
>>63212980
What's the story here? Did it fuck up or was that supposed to happen?
>>63213699
It's an American weapon to bring twerking into foreign countries, spreading their glorious culture into freedom impoverished nations
>>63211426
Yeah that was the idea, but the ship got almost no screen time and no videogame presence.
>>63211235
Slave I
Something about it.
Something about it makes it beautiful and comfy at the same time. Also, those amazing sound effects.
>>63210909
>>63210962
Had a Lego set of this and you could pull a thing that would make little blue "bombs" out the bottom. Shit was almost a hundred bucks, thank you based grandma
>>63209445
This is the only "new" ship design from the new movies I really like.
I still dont like the fact TIE interceptors are gone.
>>63211133
>master SCHOOOOOsssss why can't we ever meet on high ground
>>63213492
didn't the design for the falcon come from someone seeing a pickle poke out of a burger or something
>>63211242
Ugh why? Three legs? A massive gun that the entire thing has to move to be able to aim? Really glad I either blocked this out of my memory or never noticed it. Easily my least favorite design
>>63211133
>Sheev chose the lava theme just to fuck with Anakin.
I I bet he used stand up on the throne saying "It's over Anakin, I have the high ground"
>>63209445
Did someone on Deviantart design those?
>>63209445
AT-AT's were fucking stupid from the get go.
>Quadrapedal combat walker with multiple vulnerabilities (neck and under armor) and a narrow vector of fire and no means of defending itself from attackers within its angles of depression
>Somehow this new walker simply takes all the problems of the old walker and makes them even worse
Star Wars engineers must be fucking retards.
>>63214003
It was made from moving through deep snow or marshes t b h
>>63214003
>Huge combat walker
>No one thought to dig huge pits and watch the pieces of shit fall over
The Rebels are just as retarded
>>63213910
It's a good design. It's a mobile artillery piece, the third leg stays folded underneath it until it's in position to fire.
>>63210904
The armor was supposed to evoke legionaries of the roman republic. Hence the "plume" on their helmet.
>>63214045
>Attack pattern delta
>Fly within an approach vector that's exactly in enemy fields of fire
>Luke is surprised when he loses half his squadron
Yup.
>>63211312
>>63211292
>>63211108
Guys.
Wh-what if the new trilogy uses these?
>>63211108
>Instead we got a new death star and the empire getting defeated by fucking teddy bears
Man, fuck Lucas and whoever involved with RoTJ
>>63209886
The original ones looks fucking silly, these aren't any better or worse.
>>63213349
>If you consider the Knights of the Old Republic games for example, it seems the Star Wars universe has reached a point of zero innovation.
That's a false premise. The games were made this way because they were really unoriginal design-wise. The earlier comic books set in that era had a clearly different technological level and feel. Just google Tales of the Jedi.
>>63210803
not a very good design the vision parameters wouldn't work in the field either
>>63213846
the paint job looks terrible, like a goth kid who dyed half his bangs red.
>>63214356The red part is the shield generator
Calling it.
>>63209445
New AT-AT looks stupid
New X wing looks flimsy with the stupid wings and half circle engines
Only one fighter on each faction is stupid, there should be more than just X wings and TIE's. this irks me quite a bit.
>>63214370
Seems like something Star Wars engineers would do
>So we protected the base with this big shield generator
>They'd have to force their way through our forces on the ground then
>Oh no, the shield generator isn't actually protected by the shield, that would be stupid
>>63214406
That's only going by the trailers. Any released concept art suggest that each side only has X-Wings and TIEs?
>>63214355They have an immersive HUD inside in the helmet.
>>63214430
What the fuck is up with this colourscheme?
When I saw the trailer I assumed it was some kind of one-off elite TIE squadron, but apparently this is what they're all going to look like. Also why does it have a machine gun mounted to the side of the cockpit now?
In fact, scratch all of that, why isn't it the based TIE interceptor design?
>>63214532
Well the Tie is a two seater now too.
>>63214532
>why isn't it the based TIE interceptor design?
I always thought the interceptor was faster but had low shields like the a-wing
>>63214598
Intercepters had no shields. Just more firepower and more speed than a regular tie
>>63214532
Apparently this is an update. I guess the larger panels proved more effective.
Also, it's a two seater.
Any real specs? I need to know if the New Order finally decided that shields would be a good addition. It was the TIE's only real flaw.
>>63214473
im not too sure about these iHUDS they look a bit dodgy
>>63214598
Neither the Tie Fighter nor the Interceptor had shields. But the Interceptor had four cannon to the fighter's two, and it was indeed faster and more maneuverable. Here have ILM's chart for when they were making RotJ.
>>63214598
Only TIE Bombers had shields, or at least that's what I remember from Rogue Squadron. The Interceptor is just an improved TIE fighter that's faster with double the laser
>>63214620
I was under the impression that no TIEs had shields.
>TIEs able to land on those panels
>still 30ft drop to get in/out
>"new" X-wing looks like a Z95, its predecessor
God dammit.
>>63214570
It's like they're really trying to make me hate this film before it's even released.
The whole point of the regular version is that it's a tiny, speedy single-man fighter. What's more that extra seat is where the engine's supposed to be.
>>63210379
It specifically refers to the model that was created in 1947. They AK-47 Type 2A came out in '49, the 3A came out in '54, the 4A came out in '59, the upgraded replacement models, the AKM and RPK came out in 57 and 61...
....and the AK-103 came out in 1994
And of the over 400 million Kalishnikov's in the world, around 300 million of them are 47's. Most of the AKs being made today (by knockoff companies) are either custom 47s or AKMs.
And yes, they haven't changed a whole lot over the past almost 80 years. Here is a picture of the 47, the 74 and brand new 12
>>63214751
for some reason the picture didn't attach
>>63214751
>just ignoring the ak74 which changed internals, caliber, added mount for accessories and more
We already saw a better shaped TIE in ROTJ. Going backwards in 7 is a mistake
>>63214645
I bet my ass the new two seater TIE fighters have shields, and they already have from 4 to 6 laser cannons depending on source.
And missiles.
>>63213238
>>63209925
>solar panels
Literally why?
>>63214675
In its defense it appears the engines are on rear conformal nacelles now.
>>63214751
>Here is a picture of the 47, the 74 and brand new 12
You seriously can't think a picture of the externals is any indication of how the thing functions, right? All it tells us is it has a piston action.
>>63214645
Y-wings are meant to be as fast and manoeuvrable as x-wings and TIE fighters? Goddamn vidya getting my shipfu wrong.
>>63211456not canon
