I mean at the end of the day, its just a jet with a Y-Wing cockpit. The only way I could see this work is if instead of making it a fighter, they make it a luxury personal transport like those in Coruscant's upper district. And if its a fighter, make it one of those ships that can only be found in some remote planet's unique design aesthetic rather than something like the Resistance secret weapon that doesn't appear in anything outside of a pointless Porsche ad. Also why is it called a Tri-Wing when it only has two wings? Did Disney run out of letters in the alphabet? I know they ran out of colors and letters for squadrons since they have a squadron called Alphabet Squadron led by a lesbian who is possibly also a tranny.

It's a tri-wing because it's got a left wing, a right wing, and a middle wing.

And that looks nothing like a Porsche or anything Porsche has ever designed. What in the name of sanity.

...it's a bit much for a 2-person vehicle. I tried to give the driver more cover, but something enclosed would make more sense.

If it had a wheeled or treaded flatbed it could have been a decent 1 man transport vehicle

Surprisingly it is a Porsche design. Its some kind of retarded collaboration between Disney and Porsche to create publicity for Plan 9. I thought they were designing a ship for the movie, but it turns out the thing won't be in anything Star Wars outside of a short Porsche ad. Not even as a model. Its just there and they put the canon label on it like they did Coca Cola.

Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter

The Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter was a type of starfighter that had at least two engines, a pocket for an R2 series astromech droid, at least two frontal laser cannons, and a cockpit for a pilot and two passengers. This starship is a collaboration between the car maker Porsche and...

I wouldn't be surprised if Disney tries to make Porsche a canon part of the Disney Wars universe too after Coca Cola.

There were actually vehicles like those in SW before Disney.
They were called crawlers:

The first one was used in Dark Empire ironically enough. The swamp crawler in the middle was used by the Empire in Splinter of the Mind's Eye during the Mimban Campaign which was sort of adapted in the movie Solo. And the third one was used in ancient times. And then there's the obvious Sand Crawler of the Jawas which needs no explanation.

Weird how they are trying so hard to nostalgia bait us yet shit on the ot-characters legacy, won't use any ot aliens, replacing them with ugly flesh tone anus face shit. If you want to nostalgia bait old fans at least do it with more respect and more tact.

Also I guess Maz kanata has been thrown out of the new trilogy by the look of the trailers and the confirmed leaks. What a waste of Lupita nyong'o. I don't even like Maz, but you could of done more with her characther to make her more interesting and less pointless. This is what happens when you make a series of films without a plan or guidline, who don't respect the Orginal Creators and actors, and who don't even seem to have passion for the franchise they are continuing. No one will be satisfied. Except for those shills, who are probably paid by Disney.

 

[RomanesEuntDomus]

So it seems Kennedy is trying to claim that the leaks and reveals were an intentional part of her grand plan, not a strategic one according to her, but a "plan" nonetheless to try and encourage fan speculation and theories... Are there honestly any Palpatine theories going around for IX? Because all I've seen are shitposts. Nothing on par with the shitty Snoke theories.

How that is supposed to work is anyone's guess.
What kind of speculation is "Palpy is still around" going to lead to. "I think he might still be evil!".
Wow. Great speculate, much theories!

Fair enough; helicopters/hover/repulsor craft come with thier own issues, which is by scifi rules they are less well armored.

Does the Star Wars background state that you can't make repulsor-based vehicles with the kind of defenses and armaments an AT-AT carries at the same size? If so, that's the only significant aspect to all this. Still, a tracked vehicle would serve this role better.

But saying legged walkers aren't realistic is incorrect, especially with advanced technology.

Never said legged vehicles are unrealistic, I am, however, pointing out that they excell absolutely nowhere to a degree to be really useful, since the mobility of hovering/flying attack-craft outperforms them signifcantly in the mobility-aspect and if it's defenses and armament you want, you go with a tracked vehicle (which will also be quicker and cheaper).

Legged vehicles are used in Star Wars cause they look cool. They aren't used cause they are sensible. This isn't a question of technology. When your awesome walker sinks knee-deep into soft ground and gets stuck while any given tracked vehicle of the same mass just merrily runs cirlces around it, you can't really argue in favor of legs and their awesome mobility.

They've got serious short comings, but tow-cables aside, they probably wouldn't be relevant in the sort of battlefield the Galactic Empire would operate in, where they have supremency (that is, the ability to fire from an elevated position trumps being able to use terrain as protection).

You know what else can fire from an elevated position? An attack aircraft. While having nowhere near as many significant shortcomings. And frankly I find it dubious at best to say that shooting from an elevated position is more desirable than being able to use terrain for cover and protection.

A legged vehicle is trumped by tracked or flying vehicles and made obsolete. Legged vehicles look awesome and I am a huge fan of Battletech and similar franchises, but the truth of the matter is: The moment you evaluate their actual usefulness on the battlefield, you'll find out that they hardly serve any function that isn't covered by other vehicles much better already.

Now a bigger challenge would be to try and make this thing fit into Star Wars.

I mean at the end of the day, its just a jet with a Y-Wing cockpit. The only way I could see this work is if instead of making it a fighter, they make it a luxury personal transport like those in Coruscant's upper district. And if its a fighter, make it one of those ships that can only be found in some remote planet's unique design aesthetic rather than something like the Resistance secret weapon that doesn't appear in anything outside of a pointless Porsche ad. Also why is it called a Tri-Wing when it only has two wings? Did Disney run out of letters in the alphabet? I know they ran out of colors and letters for squadrons since they have a squadron called Alphabet Squadron led by a lesbian who is possibly also a tranny.

I kind of like the design, but I have to say, it looks nothing like it belongs in Star Wars. Would feel right at home in Star Citizen, though.

Make the wings bend further back, make it a bit blockier with some color where the darker gray is, have the engines be circles and similar to other Legends craft. Have its role be that of a mix of Air Support and Escort Fighter. Kind of like the Y-Wing, but have it be better as a fighter than a bomber. It's role is to escort Y-Wings and join in on either Torp runs, strafe positions, or other roles.

I call the revised design the D-Wing. Even though that letter was taken in Legends.

That's literally a well known transformer alt mode

Didn't some EU materials state that one of the reasons that the Empire deployed walkers on Hoth was because they needed ground-contact vehicles to pass through the Rebels' theater shield, or am I imagining things?

Yellow Yoda is still in the movie. She only appears on not-Tatooine with Lando and at the Resistance Base where she asks Rey who she thinks she is (like she did in that deleted scene from the TFA trailer) and Rey answers that she's nobody. Which is supposed to be the moronic set up for the ending where she's asked that question again by an old man and answers "I'm Rey Skywalker".

You're right. They only used AT-ATs from the Empire's Blizzard Force because the shield made it impossible for fighters to fly on in if I remember right.

This ship makes no sense, which way does it go forward with as the design is horrible to tell which is the front and which is the rear.

 

[ASoulMan]

Loving how the people in this thread are coming up with a better design for the First Order speeder than what Disney had thought up.

 

[Creep3r]

This ship makes no sense, which way does it go forward with as the design is horrible to tell which is the front and which is the rear.

Here's the commercial showing how this thing was designed and works. Its already set to start at the 9 minute mark so as to avoid a lot of corporate self-fellating.

Apparently there's no retractable third wing. I know people here have already said what it looks like or what it reminds them of, but something about this feel like I've seen it before in Mass Effect.

What's sad is I actually like Patrick Willems, I've enjoyed a lot of the videos he's put out, though I have not seen the source video of that.

But he is borderline when it comes to the soy, still, I'm not such a hardass that I have to agree with someone 100% of the time to like them and at least in the case of Willems I don't get a malicious vibe from him, that's key.

Even if what @GeneralFriendliness says proves to be true, Maz is still one of the many ST characters with wasted potential. To have her reportedly be 900+ years old was an interesting tease as it suggested she was older than Yoda, possibly knew (of) him, and could tell some very interesting stories or share some unique insight with Rey and the other so-called heroes of the ST. Instead, all we see and know about her from her screen time is that she's a barkeeper with an interest in collecting old trinkets and she apparently has to handle the disputes of her unionized(?!!) employees entirely on her own.

If she was supposed to be Disney's equivalent to Lando Calrissian in ESB (in her being an associate of Han's that can help out in a pinch), boy did Disney come up short when one compares the two characters and what they did and accomplished once introduced to audiences.

I've been trying to talk my grandmother out of seeing the film by sending her the spoilerboard. She wasn't going to see it opening weekend anyway, she was going to wait until January or so, but I just want to try sparing her the time and brain cells (she's not a fan like Dad is/was, but she likes movies, and I know she won't like this one since she couldn't stand the prequels and she's once said the Matrix trilogy was just a waste of time).

She's aware of the casting drama that's been going on, which I forgot gossip news sites have reported on, and she checks those out. I love my grandma, but she's so stubborn lol. Figured I'd share our ramblings and show how unpersuasive I am.

Spoiler: emails

(I like seeing movies with my grandparents btw, maybe I'll see Spies in Disguise with them lol.)

(We're religious so she goes straight into religious talk immediately after this.)

Her next replyl:

(Oh yeah, think there was mention of a manuscript being sold online.

More religious talk--also a ramble on her fingers typing faster than her mind can think.)

Anyhoo, someone in a Discord dropped a Mega link to the first de-specialized version so I watched it last night. It's been years since I last saw the film, and I'd only see bits and pieces here and there from my dad watching the DVDs, but I thought for sure it looked no different from the VHS copy (it is, but could've fooled me). Fantastic work; gonna get the other two hopefully tonight or soon, and then I need to figure out how to give it to my dad to have on-hand. He's not very tech-savvy, though, and even if I were to get my hands on a bootleg Blu-Ray copy, we don't have a Blu-Ray player lol. Eh, I'll figure something out. Won't be a Christmas present, I suppose, but if I can figure something out, it'll be for his birthday.

BREAKING NEWS! EXOGOL IS FUCKING CONFIRMED!

Shazam

www.shazam.com

The Rise of Skywalker - Disney Records OST

The soundtrack for IX with original names has been officially revealed. Among them is the confirmation that Exogol was real.

@Judge Holden and @Adamska we were spelling it wrong this whole time. The damn thing was pronounced Exegol! How will we ever recover from this shame!?/sneed


Some jackass on Twitter also got ahold of the IX visual dictionary that contains a bunch of spoilers about IX.

This is just one of the several things he posted. This one confirms that Kylo goes in search for Palpatine after receiving visions thanks to "arcane" crap in Snoke's lair which leads him to Exogol. Also Snoke is Palpatine's puppet. The jackass on Twitter who posted this only posted a few things because he "doesn't want to damage the integrity of the film". Fuck that. He's probably part of Kennedy's employee "strategy" to use cheap leaks to generate hype.

The guy who posted this crap also claims that JediPraxis is a liar due to many missing tidbits and because he was wrong about several things, like D-O's origin, which I and Jason Ward were right about and which was also confirmed in the essential guide. I kinda suspected JediPraxis was half full of it, since it sounded like he just took the more believable leaks and mixed them with his own stuff which no other learker or source mentioned. Then again, he could've just been a victim of changes in scripts, rewrites and reshoots.

The info from the visual dictionary the jackass posted also included the complete names of the Knights of Ren and some lore about Rey.

The names of the Knights are:

Trudge (we already knew this one)
Cardo (cardio exercise?)
App'Lek
Kuruk
Ushar
Vicrul

Also here's the stuff about the nu-sith.

This may or may not confirm the stuff I posted before about Mustafar playing some sort of role in the film. This also confirms the earliest rumors that Exogol is the mysterious planet from the Unknown Regions.

And here's a lot of bullshit about Rey.
