    I didn't realize there were 4 engines in there. Splitting would work in that instance.

    Any artists on these boards working on a hi-res, detailed 3D model of this new X-Wing? I can give you money for a wallpaper!

    In that new video, does a black pilot mean that it is John Boyega in the film. Does an MSE droid hint that he is a former Stormtrooper?

    This 'new' X-Wing isn't that different from the OT. Apart from how the wings may split apart and the blue stripe, it's too similar. They just as well just could've stuck with the 1970's design in the OT.

    If I was in a junkyard on Tatooine and I was offered this one or an x-wing......... well this one looks older. Is it Obi-Wan's?

    A few clips here and there. They looked pretty cute.

    Considering how Luke himself plopped into his X-wing cockpit in ANH and actually bounced like he was a rubber squeak toy, I'm prepared to give this guy a pass. ;)

    Hey, wait a minute. What if JJ's reaction to the mouse droid - "Hey, what's that doing here?!" - is a hint that Imperial droids like that one are now being used by our Rebels? Hmmm....

    Also...was that a remote-controlled mouse droid? Or was that CGI??

    Mouse droids haven't just been used by the Empire, though. At any rate, I really liked seeing it in there. Pretty sure it was remote controlled.

    It was real. Why CGI something so easily done practically? LOL.

    Well. I know George did CGI ones in ROTS, but... well George did a lot of things CGI that would make more sense as practical. :p

    I for one approve of this ship. Also, I have spy reports saying Boyega is every black male character we see including the little boy in Rebels, 35 years earlier.

    Alternatively - there's one intake powering two engines, on each side. Don't some aircraft work that way, as well?

    Ha! I'd never even noticed that before.

    Well I'm still holding out hope that this is not Tatooine.

    But he IS unoriginal. There's really little need to re-use the X-Wing design with very minor modification when you can create a brand new design that is inspired by the X-Wing.

    Other than pleasing some fans, it is very boring creatively.

    I too approve of this ship. The blue stripe pleases me. I'd go into how Boyega is the son of the guy that Lando impersonated in Jabba's palace, but this is not the place.

    As for the pilot in this video, I think he's Blue Two in honor of his father Wedge Antilles.

    We already have that version. It's called the EU, ROTJ, Prequels, and the Clone Wars series.

    You made it sound like you could do a better job yourself. This isn't the EU or anything else. Naturally things are going to change. Some a little, some a lot. The X-Wing obviously wasn't a huge change. What's wrong with that? It's just different enough to let you know we are in a different time and place. Personally, I think it's brilliant. Certainly better than any of the CGI crap we were fed in the PT.
