It's not JUST the Moon, its the Space Station!

That looks like the Ghost just to the left of bottom-center.

Woah!  New rebel capital ships?  And that might be a Braha'tok over in the bottom right on the second pic.  Quite possibly the least well known OT movie ship ever!

...I am getting so stupidly excited about this movie.

[chief1983]

I mean, I think it's completely feasible that the rebels had more ships than we saw in the OT.  I don't mind the introduction of new ships, I just think we all want to see at least some of the familiar things, and not just as token placesettings.

[StarSlayer]

Are those full armor Y-Wings or just motion blur?

[Dain]

I think it's just the blur/poor quality. This is the first trailer where they haven't just been in the background with the focus on the X-wings.. I hope they get something cool to do beyond just blow up!

The U-wing has grown on me a bit I think, seeing it in action with the X-wings, it looks much more part of the universe.



Looks like both red and blue flight groups involved.. not quite sure what red are doing mind, I haven't spotted any of them in the trailers. Still, better than force awakens where red squadron had blue markings too.

Well, we've also got the CR90 Corvette and Nebulon-B Frigate behind very familiar looking X-Wings and Y-Wings.  As long as there's a decent mix of familiar and new, I'm sold.

The ship that Trivial Psychic called a ghost almost looks like a Hammerhead or it's descendant from KotOR or ToR respectively.

Just a bit of clarification: Not a ghost, the Ghost, the ship from the Star Wars Rebels cartoon.

[-Norbert-]

I got that it wasn't meant as a spooky kind of ghost. I said a ghost because I thought it was the name of the class, as in "A ghost class ship." rather than the name of the ship itself.

But I guess I got the "directions" wrong, because I actually meant the ship directly to the right of the ghost.

[chief1983]

I thought you meant Halo's Ghost.

Also from the Rebels cartoon. Neat I guess!

I was reminded of this http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hammerhead-class_cruiser. Though looking at the engines (and the fact that the Hammerhead cruiser would be a centuries old design, even if the games were considered canon) the Hammerhead Corvette is far more likely.

Though it'd be kind of cool if they pulled some KotOR era cap-ship out of some stasis field, time-freeze at the edge of a black hole or just a junk yard and used it's frame and equipped it with whatever hodge-podge of reactors, engines, weapons and stuff they can get their hands on.

See the link I posted:

Hammerhead corvettes first appeared in "A Princess on Lothal," the tenth episode of the second season of Star Wars Rebels, which also saw the introduction of Princess Leia Organa on the show.[1] The ships are based on the Hammerhead-class cruisers from the now Legends video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.[9]

I don't think I'd care to watch Rebels, but they are giving some nice nods to some fan favourite non-movie stuff.

[CountBuggula]

Alright, that movie was fantastic.  Not gonna post any spoilers here, but I loved it.  There's definitely some opportunities for modelers to show their stuff - I don't think there's any of the new ships that appear in the movie that I wouldn't like to see in game.  Looking forward to seeing more details on some of those ships.

[Dain]

Yay., I'm glad it turned out well, beyond containing great OT era visuals. I'm seeing it on Monday in Imax. Going to have to work hard not to read spoilers over the weekend.

[Vector Leader]

The anticipation is killing me. I can't wait to see it.

[Dain]

That was incredible. Pure Star Wars porn.

So can we discuss it in regard to FOTG here, or should we start a separate spoiler thread?

[chief1983]

i would prefer this just be kept to pics of ships as the title indicates, although I am only worried about spoilers until Friday evening
