For those curious, it wasn't a B-wing. happy

I'm so glad we're able to start talking about this stuff now.

So, start talking! wink

Is this b-wing-esque thing a freighter? Seems to be transporting Anakin, Amidala, plus the 2 droids plus a co-pilot possibly. And is this the first time we see (or read of) such a ship in the EU?

First frame, look at the right hand corner. Looks like someone might be co-piloting.

Rewind to one of the first frames, we see Padme covering 3po's mouth in what looks like a cockpit. Of course, I have no idea why Padme would be riding with Anakin... but...spectulation!

The closest thing we've seen to an early B-Wing in the EU is the H-60 Tempest Bomber (which is based on B-Wing concept art designs). I believe it's been retconned that the B-Wings appearing in the Droids cartoon are in fact Tempest bombers, since the B-Wing wasn't produced until after Yavin and the Droids cartoon takes place 15 BBY.



This mystery ship Anakin is piloting could be related.

Well, if you want to get technical, we still don't know the how of many of the events between AotC and RotS. tongue There are still plenty of stories to tell. They just aren't as anticipated by fans as the Vader story has been.

I do agree a post-RotS series would be awesome, though. I imagine EU is going to be blossoming all over that era in the coming years.


Sure there are stories to tell during the Clone Wars, but at this point, are there any worth telling?

Sir Alec Guinness of why he did Star Wars:
"I thought the dialogue was pretty terrible and the charactors fairly
meaningless-but there was story value. I found I wanted to know what happened next,
what was on the next page? In the end I thought:
why not?"

The thing I would be most interested in would be some scenes between Dooku and Sidious discussing their plans for the Galaxy and Dooku actually being called Darth Tyranus again...think its gonna be all action no talk though.

Along with many others, I was absolutely brutal with starwars.com at the beginning of the year. I was pleasantly proven wrong with the awesome new redesign (to me at least) and the offering of the new clone wars teaser trailer.

Can't wait till to see what starwars.com has for us in terms of behind the scenes looks and sneak peaks at the new clone wars series and the live action series.

Does anybody know what the "magic" IE settings are to watch theis darn trailer??!!!
I've downloaded the new Flash programe multiple times, I've got a decent broadband,
and I can navigate around the new opening pages ok, but when it comes to watch any
video it freezes!! angry
I posted my greiveous on the offical SW message boards (with a small amout of sarcam)
and I was ignored. So much for freedom of speech.
Can anyone help? I'd rather watch it on the offical SW site than go to see a bad copy
on You-tube.
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, your my only hope... praying

The copilot is likely Asoka, the Togruta female Jedi seen in the middle of the CIV poster. Padme doesn't have to be on the ship with Anakin; the bulkheads could be anywhere.

Does that mean it was good or bad? I'm 30 (almost) and not up on Youth Terminology. laugh

Mmm, well I meant it was good. To tell you the truth, I'm not always too sure about these terms myself and I find myself wanting to make sure they actually convey what I want them to =P

Mmm, I like the B-wing freighter. Pretty cool, though I'm curious why they would have chosen that design to base a one-man fighter upon.

the B-Wing is more of a bomber than fighter, so load-lifting capability would be important.
