Finally a design with continuity to the OT, that isn't "uglies" !

You're right, Ed, it does look like the Y-Wing we all know but with extra hull plating. Could this mean someone out there is looking at EU continuity? ::GASP::

I wonder if we'll see the brand new space superiority fighter, the Z-95 Headhunter?

Holy Frak (sorry non-BSg fans, I just had to curse and didn't want to get in trouble)!!!!!!

BTW, How slow and sluggish is the Clone Wars era Y-wing?!

Forget about always seeing Sith, Mando and troopers... I am so beyond tired of Jedi this and that.

I have always held that the X-wing flight suits (and most Rebel gear) were "military surplus" from the Clone Wars era.

Now, if only we can resolve the A-wing continuity problems.

Volund... no we won't, at least not the way you said it, "new". To paraphrase the Han Solo novel in which the Z-95 first appeared, the Headhunter was a museum piece when the Clone Wars occured.

If only this were Star Trek where they could rewrite history... well, I guess I'll just have to slug through that wonderful continuity.

btw, thanks for the info about the Z-95... even my geekdom has its bounds Razz

I've always been a fan of the Z-95. I myself was disappointed that the Headhunter was never seen in the prequels.

But then again, I didn't read any of the prequel era novels and only a few of the Clone Wars comics.
