What is she, /swco/?

were these CG or models in Rogue One?

Ayy girls with dicks are superior to normal girls. Prove me wrong.

Both

I would assume so, since they used CG models from Rebels for the ships in-show that were at Scarif.

Name one single thing he did wrong. You can't.

Get fucked you shit posting faggot.

>A/SF-01 B-wing

He let let some blubbering baby with asma throw him off a fucking balcony.

>B/SF-17 Bomber

NO, they were practical effects leftover from tfa before they decided to redesign the star destroyers

He didn't plan well enough for Luke or the Pathfinder strike team.

>Red Squadron is now Crimson
>Blue Squadron is now Cobalt

rhymes

Rebels Season 3 Blu ray features when ?

I believe that the Star Destroyers in Rogue One were CG made by scanning the models and the parts used to make them.

Oh god, I want to be spitroasted by these two

>B-Wings are in ROTJ for 2 seconds tops
>appear more in TFA as the Resistance is poor and salvaging/re-purposing B-Wing parts to get by

>REEEEEEEEEE STOP RIPPING OFF B-WINGS REEEEE

Rumored THE LAST JEDI spoilers.

>Resistance tries to fight off new AT-M6's with bombers but it doesn't work. Poe uses a proton torpedo to ignite the ground under the vehicles, finally destroying them.

> AT-M6 can bend up and down and shoot an artillery canon.

>Kylo's new starship has a "combat mode" similar to X-Wings, its wings sort of fold outside making space for multiple new guns jumping into place.

>There's a somewhat slapsticky scene in which BB-8 fights BB-9E with blowtorch.

>Supremacy is destroyed but without Snoke on board - it's a trick, he's a hologram. By the end of the movie it's revealed he was on a different starship the whole time.

>DJ hacks Finn's spine implant to retrieve information about Resistance base on Crait and sells this info to First Order. After it's revealed, Holdo throws Finn into a brig for treason.

>Holdo sabotages Leia's transporter. Poe, Finn and Rose manage to run away using an escape pod (the cockpit detaches), but Leia is injured and doesn't make it, implied to die in explosion.

>Luke is now Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde and evidently crazy.

>Poe's X-Wing is damaged which is unfortunate because he's assumed to be the only pilot good enough to fulfil Resistance's plan to destroy the Supremacy. He gets super pissed, Leia slaps him in the face and orders him to lead the ground offensive.

>Kylo shoots Millennium Falcon down for good.

>It's explained that First Order is actually quite influential and they rule about a third of the known galaxy, so it's not like they're "Empire remnants" as presented in TFA, it's explained that there's "First Order controlled space".

>One of the stormtroopers recognizes Finn while he's dressed up as an officer and congratulates him on promotion.

>Canto Bright's casino belongs to Snoke, assumed to be one of many, it's one of the sources of his enormous wealth. I know how it sounds but I heard someone calling him the "Trump of Star Wars".

90% bullshit with things we already knew (Leia slaps Poe, AT-M6 cannon, Stormtrooper promotion) to make it seem "real"

>Holdo sabotages Leia's transport
for example, this is BTFO by the Leia book, but Sup Forums doesn't read

Vehiclebro back to cover the few totally original vehicles in A New Hope. I say that because virtually all of the vehicles designed for it have actually shown up in earlier media, chronologically, even though it was the first film made to introduce all these staples. Please make all corrections and reminders of anything I miss, I appreciate all dialogue.

First up, The T-16 Skyhopper. Seen as a model in Luke's hands and you can see the prop in the Lars' Homestead garage. Beautiful, classic lines, indicative of what I call the "brutalist bi-centennialism" common in industrial design from roughly 1965-1985. However, I'm not too fond of airspeeders in general, being little more than hovercars in a galaxy of awesome spaceships.

On a slightly related note, at the end of last thread, people said the Nebulon B was used by Imperials in Aftermath and the new Leia of Alderaan book. Can I see some passages to confirm this?

I unironically like the new resistance bomber, a lot, but I wish it were the mile long capital ship Starhawk Battleship instead.

the blue twilek is reeeeally hot, damn.

The Supremacy already getting destroyed is total BS. It's supposed to be the main base of the FO, and something like that is a trilogy ender, not a mid-movie climax. Even the Executor managed to survive two movies, and it wasn't even an Imperial base.

The T-16 is stupid. How are you supposed to see out of it with a wing going in front?

Is Leia and Phasma any good? I loved Lost Stars and Bloodlines.

Still slogging through Twlight Company and Inferno. Slogging through them but I'm not much of a fan of the combat stuff.

About ships.

What do you think about REYLO?

Luke's X-34 Landspeeder is a classic hovercar. It's rearward triple engine configuration make it much more attractive than the RGC-16 that appears throughout TCW and Rebels.

How do you see out of your head with that nose in the middle of your eyes?

Actually B-wings had about 10 seconds in the final cut, and about 60 seconds in early cuts but they couldn't get the SFX to look right.

Phasma is much more of a slog than TC. I haven't finished Leia yet, so I can't judge it.

>How do you see out of your head with that nose in the middle of your eyes?
Eyes, depending on the person, are very close to the size of the nose. The nose also depends on the person, for how far it sticks out. I don't know the size of the T-16 cockpit, but I assume you wouldn't have regular eye equivalent vision out of both windshields sitting at the stick.It's definitely a blind spot in front of the pilot.

>Snoke is an imperfect Palpatine clone or a beta-Anakin who was discarded by Plagueis or Sheev
>got butthurt and cloned Rey from Luke's hand as a contingency plan

How would you feel if the antagonist and protagonist were both clones?

The Tantive IV Escape Pod looks better and more conventional than the escape pods seen throughout the prequel era, and reused in Rebels. But that's probably just my Ralph McQuarrie bias kicking in.

I hear the new Leia book is really good, and the Phasma book and comic are decent. I haven't read them myself to confirm, this is just what I've mostly been hearing.

The windshields could be electronic screens.

I'd demand Kaminoan involvement or shitpost it to death on Sup Forums

I'm normally into pits but...

The blunt-nosed TaggeCo Air-2 Racing Swoop appears in the ANH Special Edition, as a thoughtless CGI mannequin hurtles towards the poorly aged CGI Ronto, which causes the very obviously CGI Jawa to fall off and flail wildly.

The A-1 Deluxe Floater. Yes it really is called a floater, and it shows. All I can find of it are pictures for ants, and that's no great loss.

Bespin Motors Void Spider TX-3 Air Taxi. I'm not sure whether these little-known and rather ugly props were cobbled together back in 1977 or kitbashed for the 1997 Special Edition.

Ubrikkian 9000 Z001 Landspeeder. Yes, it's just a floating ball.

ive always wondered, do they fully paint their tits, or just not bother because it will be covered

The Gallofree Yards GR-45 transport is a less powerful version of the more commonly known GR75, which has more engines.

Heard some of that stuff is probably still lying around there after all these years

The Dowager Queen, the crashed colony ship around which Mos Eisley was built.

I'm afraid I'm running out of vehicles to chronicle; virtually all of the famous ones have been covered previously, as they appeared in media which took place chronologically before A New Hope.

In order to end my ANH vehicle survey more ceremoniously, I'm going to cover both versions of the Y-wing, which I botched during the TCW dump when I included the half-n-half from Rebels instead of giving both types their due.

First: the BTL-B Y-wing two seater from The Clone Wars. While I don't like this THICCer version as much as the stripped down GCW era one, the BTL-B was piloted by none other than Orange Buttcheeks Ahsoka Tano herself, which is an honor few vessels have obtained, and that would be a pleasant hero ship option to see in Battlefront 2 if I say so myself.

Is there art of the Dowager showing what it looks like in full?

>Gallofree
Real subtle reference there
>GR75
Is that the one that is used as a transport ship in Empires at War? You'd think there would be such a thing as an armored transport ship, or that you could load troops on to Star Destroyers, Mon Cal Cruisers and other larger ships.

The core SD doctrine is their ability to deploy both a force of fighters, a sizeable land force, and bring sizeable capital ship weapons to bear. You'd think that first trait would be represented in EaW, but its not.

No one mentions colony ships often in Star Wars.

as much as i hate the shitty CGI from the "official" ep 4, i love seeing the designs

The BTL-A4 and -S3 Y-wings are much stripped down, and more attractive in my opinion, but I could hardly fault anybody for loving either big buff beauty; there's plenty of Y-fu love to go around.

Not that I know of, sorry.

What reference is that? I only know that the Gallofree transports are typically known for appearing in ESB and ROTJ, though they reappear in Rebels and Rogue One. They're staples of the Rebel Fleet, and they are in fact armed. I covered this a coupla threads ago. You can even see the weapon battery on the hull of the prop.

I think cousin fuckin is perfectly legal in space

>BTL-B Y-wing
It's not called that anymore, it's the same as the Y-wing here

>What reference is that?
I assume it's a subtle reference to Gallifrey, the homeworld of Dr. Who.

which doesn't really make sense but whatever

It said BTL-B in the Star Wars The Clone Wars Incredible Vehicles compilation from 2011, though that does place it before the canon purge. I wasn't aware that was changed specifically though, satan.

The BTL-S3 is canon though! It recently appeared in the Poe Dameron comic series, used by the Resistance 30 ABY as a two-seater, flown by Jess Pava I think, and that new cute blue snake lizard spitter alien girl.

Oh you're probably right.

I thought it was this sleek model also seen in TPM?

Always loved the sandscraped hull of this one. I'm glad they didn't just copypaste the ESB/ROTJ model. And I believe a lot of these were physical models, not CG.

No that's the Mobquet Flare-S Swoop Bike, the same kind used by the Lars family and when Anakin goes to save his mother. I'm glad you pointed out that it was used in TPM, because I only posted it in the AOTC dump.

CGI

No Star Wars film has used practical models for any vehicles since 2005 with ROTS

Wow, didn't realize it was a different one all along.

Btw, did you add the TIE Boarding Craft to R1? Because according to Pablo, they still consider the insides as having appeared in ANH, as per the old Cross-Sections book.

What about TLJ and the Han Solo movie? We already got bts shots of actual vehicles.

But TFA and Rogue One had physical vehicles? The X-wing at the beginning of Jakku for example, and the TX-225 Occupier tank on Jedha.

I count the TIE Boarder the same as the TIE/sa bomber, as they are visually indistinguishable, and first appears in Star Wars Rebels Season 2 episode Homecoming, where the interior is shown to be quite spacious.

Ok, though bear in mind, even if LF consider the shuttle in ESB to be the same design, it actually has its panels turning outwards.

I presume he means in action/space scenes where they're flying around and shit. Poe's X-Wing was practical in the marketing, much like BB8, but we all know that shit was CGI the moment they needed to actually shoot it moving.

>. Yes, it's just a floating ball.
I mean, Kaminoans have a ship like that so it's not that bad

Forgot the image.

I plan on getting to that one when I do ESB, perhaps later this thread or maybe next thread. I've got a picture of the little bugger in storyboards explicitly showing it with outboard wings, it's called specifically a TIE Shuttle, differentiating it from the TIE Boarding Craft and the TIE Reaper.

They do? Please remind me, I must have missed it when I did AOTC and TCW.

fug you posted it before me DDDDDDD:

I hope I have another picture in my archives

Yeah, Ventress escapes in it in the Kamino invasion arc. It looked like a lopsided hamburger.

learn to read. user said "models"

you guys are referring to physical props, which all of the films have featured.

Oooops, sorry.

>reminding me of burgers
Goddammit now I'm hungry for In-N-Out again. To be honest that one doesn't look quite as comfy as that retro gamesphere car of the future from ANH.

>They do? Please remind me, I must have missed it when I did AOTC and TCW.
Yep, it appeared in a couple episodes of TCW

based on concept art for Kamino from AOTC

Fives uses one to "escape" in the Order 66 arc

what did destiny 2 mean by stealing the sith/jedi code from TOR, /swco/?

I want Hasbro to make that so I can put my little world of Nintendo metroid in it, and have it tool around in style.

I have a couple of minor bg vehicles from ANH, one being this simple, open-top Stormtrooper transport. It has spokes like the 74-Z speeder bike and is detailed in ITW:OT (later Complete Locations 2005 and 2016). Just something zipping by in the Special Edition.

The other is a black platform, realized by a lift on one side of the elevator chasm on the Death Star. Since the elevators cover the openings as seen in ESB SE, nu-Battlefront and Rebels, this is a simple repulsorlift supplement (like the ones on the Quarzite skyhook in TCW).

...

There's also some utility vehicles seen in the film, but those are only for carrying boxes or crates, so I wouldn't count them as vehicles, per say. The scanning crew repulsorcart and a red loadlifter in Docking Bay 94.

I find the design on this one lacking in subtetly. It's basically a WW2 with folded wings.

George knew how to incorporate design elements that were remeniscent of his source of inspiration without making it outright obvious.

Yeah, that it's too on the nose.

>cloned Rey from Luke's hand

I'd be completely ok with this.

Dune, which Lucas cribbed stuff from, did a lot weirder. Clones with imported memories that get recycled for thousands of years of story, for instance. Or a grandchild that grows up with the virtual ghost of her evil grandfather in her mind, influencing her actions.

>watching battlefront gameplay teaser
>AT-RT

is this the most pointless vehicle in Star Wars? it has all of the problems of a walker, but with no armor or shielding to protect the pilot/driver.

Its way faster so it actually does its job of scouting way better than the OT Chicken Walker. The AT-RT can literally sprint.

See how it is used in the TCW Ryloth Arc, or even the TCW movie for example.

A giant slut.

Same problem that riding a Dewback has. You're exposed. All you got is your armor.

Don't you be talkin shit about AT-RTs

its just a speeder bike with legs, except its gun can destroy tanks

so really it's like a Willys Jeep with a Recoilless Rifle on it

I love Lucas and all but don't pretend like he wasn't shamelessly referencing WWII at every turn, to the greater benefit of cinema. The Death Star Trench Run is ripped straight from 633 Squadron.

It can also make high leaps. The AT-ST can't do that.

It's a great All Terrain scouting vehicle, it's fast, it's easy to mount and dismount, and practical to deploy alongside infantry.
Sure, it's kinda cool-over-function, but it's not as retarded as something like a full on mecha.

This always makes me laugh

Did this guy literally rent out this thing for shits and giggles? The rest of the troops seemingly still have to walk everywhere, what makes this guy so special?

I dunno how that even works, we never see it running at full speed or anything. You literally have a couple of guys up on these, moving at the same speed as everyone on foot.

Which episode is that?

Jesus, I've watched all of TCW twice, and there's still webms that make me go "fuck, this looks so cool, I gotta rewatch it"

It's essentially the tatooine version of a camel. It's not for armored purposes it's for patrolling and being intimidating to farmers and sand people n shiet. I actually like dewback troopers desu

He's probably been trained to familiarity with the local mounts. This isn't uncommon. Modern American troops ride camels in Middle Eastern stations.

Is this the true purpose of the Falcon and similar ships? Is this why its called a freighter despite having no significant cargo capacity?

ROTS.

>I love Lucas and all but don't pretend like he wasn't shamelessly referencing WWII at every turn

No one's pretending that, but that particular ship is too on the nose.

>vintage collection Snoke
That cloth robe is an awful choice

I think that's just because we don't deserve the level of quality and detail in each scene when we can't even pay attention to half of it.

Pretty much. They made a sketch of something that didn't make it into the Ep.7 ICS.
