Re: The Force Unleashed II

but then they have an A-Wing parked in a hanger when they wouldn't have been invented yet.

The A-wing is an interesting case beacuse theres a lot of lore/timeline shenannigans due to carelessness and stuff.

A-wings appear in the games Star Wars: Empire at War, Star Wars: X-wing, Star Wars: Rebel Assault and the Droids animated series; however, these are set years before the A-wing is stated to have been developed, making it an anomaly. Thus, it is likely that these ships are actually R-22 Spearheads, and therefore all pre-Yavin A-wing instances have been thusly retconned.....
(elsewhere)
A possible in-universe explanation could be that the name "Spearhead" was disfavored in the Rebel Alliance and that "A-wing" was used as a nickname, until the production of the RZ-1 interceptor.

Which would make sense if Headhunter, Xwing, Awing etc is a casual moniker given by pilots based on visual appearance or role rather than an assembly line designation.
Which explains the Aurek wing of the galactic republic wihich of course translates as A-wing (and it was called as such.)

Re: The Force Unleashed II

True, there is a lot of conflicting lore out there regarding the A-Wing, but the Rebel interceptor that we all know and love is generally stated as being designed and built by General Jan Dodonna and Walex Blissex after the battle of Yavin, I don't take much stock in the lore accuracy of many of these games such as Empire at War, Galactic Battlegrounds and such as they tend to seem to just make it up as they go along a lot of the time as far as lore is concerned.

Your explanation for the appearance of the A-Wing seems fairly sound, but it wouldn't surprise me if the designers involved in such lore accuracy aspects of TFUII didn't have a clue, or simply didn't care to be honest.

Can't tell I'm a little bitter about this game can you?

Enjoyed the first one quite abit so this is a big disappointment.
