Topic: Republic Y Wing

Here is one for you Y-Wing fans out there. Some of us have always known that the Y Wing Fighter as we all know and love it from the original trilogy is supposed to be a fighter that was heavily stripped down to make it easier for Rebel tech crews to maintain, there have even been artists interpretations of what the Y Wing looks like with its airframe completely intact. But if you follow the link below you'll see that this old ship is going to get a new lease of life in the new Clone Wars series with a new definitive look. Check it out.

Re: Republic Y Wing

Wow. I always imagined it looked just like the regular Y-Wing in shape, just with all the wiring and tubes and whatever covered up. That looks more like a later improvising to make it look like the Naboo fighter. Which means I'm sorta skeptical.

Either way, thanks a lot for posting this smile .

Re: Republic Y Wing

Hmmm? It doesn't look anything like a Naboo Fighter, unless you count the fact it has a bit of yellow in it's colour scheme.

I know what you mean about the shape being more Y-Wing like in your mind, same here, and earlier artistic interpretations had the same idea, but I personally quite like this design, it takes it further a field so it isn't just a safe and expected design, but it is still logical and makes sense.

Re: Republic Y Wing

Thanks for posting that. I've never seen that picture before. I thought it might be a little more bulked up, but not that bulked up. No wonder technicians would be complaining when they had to refit the Y Wings.
