- Lucasfilms' Doug Chiang and Amy Beth Christenson explain each and every type of starfighter from the Star Wars movie franchise. These small, combat-focused spacecrafts have become a canvas for some of the most iconic designs in all of cinema. Ever wondered why the "snout" of the X-Wing is so pronounced, or why the Y-Wing's paneling is so bare? Amy Beth and Doug offer all these insights and much more!

TIE Interceptor: we needed to add a slot so the pilot could look left and right
Millennium Falcon: what is a left?
solo's left nut !
What about the tie fighter though?
@@ChickenLiver911 they probably have cameras on the right and left side + motion detectors. kind of like what cars have when you reverse park. LOL
Perfect for Derek Zoolander
@@cappierising1774 or the tie fighter is the reason they added the notches because they realized that the wings reduced visibility.
Literally every ship:
“George was a fan of cars”
George was a fan of this, George was a fan of that. It's all about George and what pleases him. The boot-licking, god-king culture of Hollywood was evident in they way they worshiped this man.
What about the bombers in Last Jedi?
“Rian was fun of stupidity..”
ok
and racing boats
Take a shot every time you hear "iconic"
pre Disney : "George was a fan of... so we made this"
after Disney : "We repainted it"
Sadly true. The Resistance Bomber, TIE Strikers and Brute are at least new, but they're not a lot. Love or hate George, he loved machines and really could tell the audience a lot with how to convey visual language with that.
@@LeoMidori all the original and prequel trilogies ships look really good. the sequel ships look so stupid.
@@Jacen436987 Well for the ones that aren't really derivative? Generally.
Or... “we revisited Ralph McQuarrie’s original concept art...” or... “we took the TIE and made it more aggressive...”
They screwed up all. Thinking "ok, this will be fun, what, no connections with with SW Universe? who cares, we need money!"
Doug seems like such a nice guy, it’s clear that he really loves what he does
Then why has Stars Wars been turned into such utter sh!t?
@@BigSmartArmed He doesn't write the scripts or anything? Also blame JJ and Kathleen for not having a proper story in place when they decided to make this new trilogy.
Yeah would love to have his job
@@BigSmartArmed They're concept designers. ARTISTS. Not scriptwriters.
Absolutely.
Slave 1: “Am I a joke to you?”
Technically not a starfighter, more of a patrol craft (it had cells for prisoners and was overall more of an extremely armed and armored police car)
Its not a Starfighter, it is more like a specialized transport Ship, like the Millenium Falcon.
@@Emmindorable not until the Millennium Falcon was used for Fighting
@@tommygun4552 well even if used for fighting, it still is a freighter and the company designed it to have exchangeable parts so it can be specialized for exactly what u need.
not a galactic police force, just a prison ship.
So basically Star Wars was designed because Lucas is a fan of something
kenjie guillar “So this ship was based on the fact that George Lucas loved racing snails as a big hobby of his, so this ship resembles a shell-like body”
@@zelckip Snail Droids are an actual thing ironically enough
Samurai movie + WW2 movie + space movie = Star Wars
There is a very old japanese movie on plot of which episode 4 was based.
@@maratutebayev340 "The Indomitable Fortress" IIRC, by Akira Kurosawa.
Prequels : Okay let's create entire new ships that reminds of the original
Sequels : Okay let's change the color
different ideas.
@@Cybernaut551 - yes, very different...
Prequels: creative ideas
Sequels: lazy ideas
Yeah, lazy but... it's like automotive industry. Constructors try ti imitate more or less each other, the models evolve slowly, and there's always something of the old models in the new ones.
They could have made new ones but they wanted to show that the resistance didn’t have many resources, they couldn’t afford to make completely new ships.
@@sofiejones7270 why didn't the resistance have any resources? They just overthrew the empire 30 years ago. They should have had all the resources.
TIE Interceptor: "We had to actually give a slot so the pilot could actually look left and right."
TIE Dagger: "Eh who needs peripheral vision when you got *bad guy red paint* "
Obviously TIE Daggers have surround view cameras and active cruise control. What will they think of next? Self-flying TIE fighters? It'd be the stuff of Legends! :D
Gary I’m not sure if your serious it making a pun either way I’m disappointed
The original TIE Fighter couldn’t see either
send in the droidekas
TIE Daggers were flown by Sith pilots who used the force to sense other ships around them. I would imagine training to fly without sight but rather feeling with the force would make you a more dangerous pilot. It obviously didnt help them at all in RoS cause they got smacked but it was just a thought haha.
I don’t think anyone mentioned it, but did you know the TIE in TIE Fighter stands for Twin Ion Engine?
Shut up nerd
Donalds Angry Nerd is a compliment! 😎
I knew that! I feel like a lot of people don't
Growing up always thought it looked like a bow tie😂
@@Donaldsangry Uh oh Donalds Angry again!
You guys missed both Bobba Fetts Slave 1 and Mauls Scimitar with Scimitar being one of the coolest ships with it's invisibility ability!
The Slave1(Firespray) isn't a fighter, but the scimitar is and I agree how could they!?
It’s because they aren’t doing every unique ship. If they did it would take years.
Neither of those are starfighters
Agreed, they included the falcon which is a freighter so they could've mentioned those two
@@CrisstheNightbringer the Scimitar actually is a starfighter
They forgot the LEGO ship I built when I was 7
TheFlyingPotato xd the vehicle of the gods

THANKS I’ve been looking for this comment
The N-1 is still the most beautiful Star Wars fighter. Good Job Doug Chiang.
Agreed
Yeah, but they have to share the prize with both jedi fighters in my opinion
I’ll agree with you on that
Art Deco graceful
LAAT though is the best.
To me mon calamari are the most beautiful
PT: Sleek totally new designs
OT: Iconic original ships
ST: New paint
Yea I was really disappointed by the design of the new trilogy's starfighters and the designers' descriptions honestly aren't reflected in what we see in this video.
Yeah your telling me they didn’t at least improve their ships in the last 50yrs or so?
Except for like, you know, all of the different shapes of the X-wings and A-wings, the completely new designs of the resistance bomber and TIE silencer, and the added weapons and systems of the other TIE fighters. Yeah just new paint.
Henry van der Linden Resistance Bomber is a Bulkier B-Wing, and the TIE Silencer is just a more Geometric TIE Interceptor, *CHANGE MY MIND.*
Henry van der Linden also the X-Wing and A-Wings were just a way to get sales through nostalgia.
Thank you for the mention and for keeping the story alive. Great to see my ships flying 40+ years later.
legend
These two trying to say more than "We just repainted it" for the Disney ships is me tryna hit the word count in an essay
It "evokes" the original deign
well except for the tie striker and ghost
@@BallMuncher555 Loved the design for the TIE striker btw. It feels like a plane in Star Wars.
"George was really amazing with the alphabet , A wing , B wing ,D wing X wing , Y wing and the Tiefighter looks like an H , Sesame street was very strong with the force.
Today’s episode is brought to you by the fighter “X”
a really interesting fact that a lot of people don't notice is that there is no english alphabet in Star Wars. The language they speak is just called Basic, and their alphabet is called Arubesh. As such, the characters in-universe would have no idea what an A, B, D, X, or Y is, meaning that the names for those starfighters are complete nonsense to them
@@littlechickeyhudak its a case of us hearing the words that would make sense to us but they are saying something else *wink Wink* aka the star trek universal translator
Are we not going to talk about the u wing
@@ghostlyboi1003 Well, the thing about the U-Wing is that it was not a true starfighter, and was made for a gunship/transport role. It might be able to go toe to toe with a TIE Bomber, but that's about it.
Fun drinking game:Every time they say interesting take a shot.
Next evolution
Or evoke
Or when they say the word “design”
Sleek
Add in "menacing" and you'll have alcohol poisoning before the video is half way done
Fun drinking game: everytime they say slave 1 take a shot.
Perfect for the younglings
@Brian Liebe I think they didn't include the shuttle for the same reason as Emporer Palpatine's shuttle, because it was a 'shuttle' not a 'starfighter' but then again they missed so many starfighters as well.
sobre, not once they said it
play that game in an AA meeting
To be fair, there are so many ships and space station in Star Wars (including legends), so i don't really blame them for forgetting it.
Prequel and Original Trilogy: vehicles based on cars and other motor vehicles.
Sequel Trilogy: B E E F I E R
The prequel ship designs are super underrated! Glad to see them get some credit here.
Dooku’s ship was one of the most imaginative designs of the prequels.
Oooh yeah, what a cool ship!
The prequels and sequels don't exist.
@@JohnnyZenith After watching the sequels I actually feel like the prequels arent even that bad
@@Number-lo8iv Nah the prequels are still bad, nothing changed about that. But they gave us pretty cool lore and designs.
Yeah
The B-Wing is my favorite ship in all of Star Wars. It's so unique and doesn't get enough love.
13:00 I’ll try spinning. That’s a good trick.
Doug Chang is such the coolest concept designer for the PT trilogy, and to this day, he’s still got the epic touch in his concepts. X-wings are still my favorite ships to this day, glad the resistance got the similar design, but modified to outrun first order TIE’s.
I agree wholeheartedly. I love to hear his thought processes. He's a great talent. If you haven't seen it yet, check out his talk he did at Celebration earlier this year th-cam.com/video/X5-RYDpmjLU/w-d-xo.html
He's overrated. His concept design is nowhere near the level of Ralph McQuarrie's.
@@melvinch Ralph McQuarrie is dead. And Chang himself has says he's nowhere near McQuarrie's level. Telling somebody that their opinion on something they like is wrong is pretentious and patronizing. As it appears you are an artist yourself, you should rethink your negativity and focus on your own craft.
Same! One of the main reasons I love the battlefront games is because if those ships.
@@beefknuckles Did I say liking his design is wrong ? Or are you just putting words in my mouth ?
Prequel Trilogy: Lets do all new ship designs that are evocative of the OT but not close enough to feel cheap, showing a history of progression throughout the end of the Republic and into the Empire.
Sequel Trilogy: Lets make the X-wings black and give the TIE fighters a little red I don't know.
Nothing made the prequels look better, than the sequels.
One of the most annoying things about the sequels is the lack of new fighter designs. Even if we did get a new ship design it was a variation of a box or a box with ridiculously large wings. It was just laziness passed off as nostalgia.
Still waiting on the return of the ARC-170 because someone realized the X-Wing needs ANOTHER WING
To be honest, I want the X-Wing to look like an X-Wing, and I want the TIE Whatever to look like a TIE Whatever. If they made new designs and changed them to much, then I would not have like the films at all. With all the other changes, the ships is one of the things that still made it Star Wars for me.
Sure, they had other designs before, in the prequels. But that was before, in a time of relative peace and prosperity. We had earlier versions or design language that would ultimately become the ships we know and love. But then came the huge intergalactic war, ships kept developing for a while, but then they reached a point where refining the working designs were more reasonable than designing, testing and manufacturing completely new designs. Sure, they had some new models surfacing here and there, but not in the large production scale.
Kjetil Balstad Disney has played you right into their hand.
Fun fact: George wanted the Millenium Falcon to look like a flying hamburger. "So iconic. George was a fan of food" lol
I'm kinda disappointed they missed out the U-Wing
Is it a fighter? I thought is more like a troop carrier ship like the LAAT & Droid Gunship (both were unmentioned in the video)
@@matnasrin3479 good point, but i'm pretty certain the u-wing was a sort of combination between a fighter and a carrier
I’m disappointed in everyone...nobody cares about the TIE Reaper it’s basically a transport like the U-Wing and yet everyone forgets it even exists. It really deserves more attention. Death Troopers wouldn’t have been able to fight on Scarif without it.
@@dubswirl3082 I see your point but I thought that the Tie Reaper was specifically a transport whereas a U-Wing was a mix between a transport and a fighter. Again I'm not 100% sure, but that's how I see it
@@lordnonsonby1727 well...in the upcoming star wars squadrons game its all about starfighter assault so im guessing that the U-wing and the TIE Reaper are a mix of a transport and a starfighter
Got to be honest, this has changed something I feel about the prequels.
I agree. My main issues with the prequels is the story, and how it's so messy and unclear on defining whose story we're following (In my opinion, 1-3 should be Obi-Wan's story, not Anakins)
BUT
I find the design of the prequels to be fantastic! I love the look of everything.
Brent V The only thing is some of the technology seems to be inconsistent with what we see in the originals. Something Rogue One did amazingly well at.
@@zandernewson9933 I'm pretty sure there are Canon things explaining why The Empire had Shut technology
The prequels were always good lol
@@juliusmustermann4211 the prequels are unwatchable
The Naboo Starfighter is god tier
My favorite!
I did really like the Naboo Starfighter.
Mr. Chiang created a wonderful design. Still a favourite of mine among the many others, even after 20 years.
At least it's creative.
I really like the aero spike engines on it and I think it is the only ship with aero spikes
Spaceships:exist
Doug:fascinating,distinct,iconic

every bad guy ship ever:
we wanted to give it a more elongated aggressive look
8:34
“We’re starting to sort of *TIE* in those elements”

Its basically: Existing fighters got more edgy in their coming update
More edgier? Where did you learn English?
encycl07pedia There you go

As long as you know, what I'm talking about, the ultimate goal of language has been achieved.
@@Keckegenkai I wouldn't get pissed if you corrected my German, mein Freund. Ich kann kleine Deutsch. Never be afraid to learn or ashamed of making mistakes, especially in a foreign language. Making mistakes is the best way to learn.
It's "edgier." You never use "more/most" with a single-word comparative/superlative. More better, most best, more bigger are all wrong.
@@encycl07pedia- It is 'Ich kann nicht viel Deutsch' or 'Ich spreche nur wenig Deutsch'
Hope you're happy ;)
Hearing Amy geek-out over lore is just so wholesome.
Head designer: we need 2 make a new tie fighter
Newbie designer: lEtS mAkE iT bLaC!
Head designer: give this man a promotion
It was so cool seeing the evolution between the prequel ships and the OT ships. They reflect the time periods well. I just feel the transition between OT and the sequel ships is pretty bland. They kinda just make everything bigger, I wish they did just new ships for that era entirely.
Space travel has existed in the star wars universe for over 30,000 years, it's not a new thing and the creativity is pretty dry when it comes to new designs
Me too. Just more TIEs vs X-Wings and so on. Boring
@@thefalsekingslayer3717 that makes no sense, why is the clone wars period ships different to the galactic civil war ships. Then all of a sudden progress in the star wars universe stops and everything stays the same for the first order??
@@kda3113 because war fuels innovation and creativity, same thing happens in real life, many inventions came with the end of both world wars
You might find reasons for this blandness in the lore but it simply feels lazy and unimaginative.
*New ship*
Doug: George actually really loved……………………
I feel like Doug's job got much easier with the Disney Star Wars trilogy. The classic ship designs have received only minor updates, and very few new interesting ships have been shown on screen at all.
I grew up loving Doug Chiang's prequel concept art. I had the art of books and was always blown away by his style. I just hope we get to see him utilise some of that creativity again.
They missed one of the coolest ships of the whole series: Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator
@@dearinfrontoftree8362 its in the movies?
@@StopmotionStudios13 right...sorry, so dumb of me....I meant to reply on another comment about an old republic era star fighter never actually shown in live action...I’ll delete my post
It’s technically not a star fighter, though.
Darth Maul's Scimitar was in Ep. I
I love how they take the time to say “and we do mean every star fighter” and then miss a bunch of star fighters while also including ships that arnt star fighters
every star fighter in the live action movies
@@SoulHDGaming they missed Maul's ship and Boba's Slave 1, but included the Falcon (a freighter).
Did they mention the snow speeder or did I miss that
@@vanitymanatee3202 Easy and its actually explained in the video. The next two bonus videos and are not star fighters. That they picked Ghost.. sure debatable but not mentioning the Falcon would have been a crime.
Shadowleecher its not a star fighter tho, it’s a freighter, shouldn’t be included.
The U-Wing was one of the coolest ones how was that not included?!
that's more of a transport than a fighter tbh
Still in the fighter class but true
The U-Wing is technically classed as a fighter but most consider it to be a Gunship.
I guess that’s fair. I just really like the design of it.
Gunship, not a fighter
I think they missed a few just to set off the hard core fanboys in the comments...and it succeeded.
The way Lucas worked people showed him their ideas and it then becomes a Lucas design.
leokimvideo I didn’t know you like Star Wars
Kenneth’s vlogging channel lol same. I used to watch Leo a lot.
Yeah tbh, I feel like they give Lucas way to much credit for the designs and ideas in Star Wars in general. The artists, designers and builders that worked on the original trilogy helped make those movies what they are.
I heard Lucas designed the Mona Lisa because of his love for cars
“The falcon is a character”
Somebody: WHO WANTS TO ROLEPLAY WITH ME IM GOING TO BE THE FALCON!
I’ll be Chewbacca and go inside you UwU
PEANUT BUTTER FALCON!
8:19 “it’s like poetry, it rhymes.”
the next one i think could be capital ships and I wanna see the Executor
Oh man, happy to see Doug in such a high position! I think I saw him a long time ago 'just' designing stuff for Episode I on the Blu Ray bonus content.
George Lucas: Used real engineers in the creation of spaceships and craft.
Disney: We just think it looks cool
Arc-170 Hands down best ship ever! Big and bulky.
The Tri-droid fighter is legit badass and deadly.
When you look at the arc 170 it looks as though it was built to last. I strongly believe that it could keep up with the first orders ties all those years after the clone war
TIE Interceptor also has those nice big quad canons running the length of the wings. So cool.
i've been hearing adam talk about doug for years and it's great to finally put a face to the name
The Tie Dagger looks like a flying play button
Yodas starfighter?
One of the best vids I've seen all week.
I love the star wars ships more than the characters, need hot wheels to bring out another shipment of arc 170s and inquisitor ties to the masses that missed out, its like a hole in my heart lol
ARC-170: too many wings (6)
Z-95 Headhunter: too few wings (2)
T-65 X-wing: just right (4)
LucasFilm: this is every star fighter in Star Wars
U-wing: am I a joke to you
in Star Wars the movies.....
U wing is not a star fighter it’s. light troop transport
*sees Lucasfilm instead of Disney* “A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one”
Did you guys know that George Lucas is a big fan of racing cars?
No, I didn't
Did you know he was a big fan of racing boats?
And ww2 designs?
Yes I did. I keep seeing him several Grand Prix races
When did they mention that? Hmmm... Must have just been one little bit I missed.
If it has *Race* in the name,
George Lucas will put it in his movies and games!
I have an Asian friend named Lucas who can take this guy's place. Keep the name truthful😉
Watch Motorsports and you’ll find out why. All of the real world spaceships are right here on earth
Race wars
Master Race?
This brings back memories of playing TIE Fighter, XW vs TIE, and XW Alliance. Especially the one dogfight training mission triggered by containers where you're in a TIE fighter and you have to take out increasingly larger waves of A-wings, and you learn very quickly how the TIE fighter is literally the most flimsy thing in existence!
Loved that nod to Colin Cantwell by Doug. He doesn't get enough love. Never knew the X-wing had dragster roots as much as biplanes.
I have a feeling breaking down every droid would take a lot longer
The TIE Advanced has always been my favorite ship; it was 'Advanced' because it was the first TIE to have both deflector shields and a hyperdrive.
That said, the thing I never understood about the ARC-170 is that it appears to have S-Foils for no reason at all other than to kinda look like the X-Wing - they're just part of the ship for no practical reason and it always stuck out in my eyes, and not in a good way.
Something of note that they don't mention - the shape of the Millennium Falcon was inspired by a burger and a pickle on a plate.
Also, why no Sith Infiltrator?
Well the arc-170 fulfilled more of a gunship role between a fighter and a bomber, and the s-foils are meant to convey a sense of drag that makes it feel more powerful and slow like it has a lot of firepower but can still dogfight. A lot of Star Wars is less about what make physical sense and what makes stylistic sense.
@@josephbracero5833 I can understand that, but comparatively speaking with regard to other S-Foil ships they don't fulfill any sort of purpose.
The X-Wing and B-Wing S-Foils at least spread the gun arrays out for a wider field of fire and to allow for alternating or simultaneous fire of the blasters.
The Arc-170 just has random awkward bits that poke out for a more unique silhouette, lol.
In a series where ship design has a lot of practical nuances to make things feel more substantial and 'lived in', it just feels like lazy design to me.
*shrug*
S-foils are for heat dissipation, nothing else
These wingtip cannons are absolutely huge (even compared to X-wings'), so they generate massive heat. That's what the radiator vents on the S-Foils are for.
And they talked about this craft as if it was the precursor to the X-Wing but it was established 15 years ago that the Z-95 Headhunter was the precursor to the X-Wing.
I don't remember any of the new ships. None of them were memorable or cool or even very believable. In the original series, almost Every ship is like a revelation. SO cool and so believable to the point of invoking a desire to fly in them for oneself and being super memorable and imitated for many, many years to come.
7:18 Based off the Dauntless?
The design screams P-61 to me. It has 2 separate cockpits for the pilots (in the P-61 the rear cockpit held a radar operator instead), it has a long nose, two massive engines, and a gunner in a 3rd cockpit at the back. A true heavy fighter design, not like that of a dive-bomber.
Fedor Fox Agreed
And the dice bombers in the picture are actually Vindicators I believe, the precursor to the Dauntless
The tie dagger looks very similar to ec Henry's custom fighter🤔
Edit: he did do a video on it a month ago
But it's not stolen like many believe it is. First of all, triangles are such a simple shape that you can't steal it. Also the triangles are different ones on the TIE Dagger and ECs model.
But most importantly(!!!) the TIE Dagger was a thing before ECs model was released. There is concept art of a TIE Fighter for TFA that looks exactly like the TIE Dagger, same triangle shape, same other layout, just the normal TIE Fighter window instead of the new one, EC Henry released his model in 2016
The Tie fighter has the greatest sound effect in movie history imo
eon14873 it’s great and all but it shouldn’t even be hearable half the time realistically because of the vacuum of space
well of course but imagine the space battles in silence!
Them: so George was a fan of...
Lucasfilm: so anyways I just started designing
A really, really good breakdown of the S.W. ships. Many thanks.
"George is a huge race car/boat fan"

Why does everyone who pilots the Millennium Falcon first time becomes a pro at it instantly
Comfy well made souped up ship. Something slightly mystical about it like a lot of stuff in star wars.
If you watch solo it shows that there’s that one robot that downloads her flight/navigation system into the ship. It’s Basicly cannon that the ship half flys itself
Just A Dio Who's A Hero For Fun
Ikr
Because its 2019 and feelings matter. Everyone is special 😆
I'd assume a good amount of people in the star wars universe have some sort of drivers license for ships that stay on the planet; in my mind the falcon probably has an accessible interface lol
Great seeing Doug again. I remember seeing clips of him on the bts stuff for the prequels.
I have my issues with some of the Star Wars movies but I LOVE their ship designs. I love the mechanicalness of the x-wings, the sleek 30’s-50’s style Naboo Starfighter and what she mentions at around 7:00 about the Jedi fighter needing the hyperspace ring because it doesn’t have its own FTL drive which was such a cool concept.
Ok what did we learned: George likes everything with races
I like races too. :)
But people call me a racist because of it. :´(
slave 1
@@xSuperiorManx people who write novels are novelist but people who race aren't called racists

@@cadetsparklez3300
Exactly! You tell them off.
Also, it's not my fault that my race is superior to all others. Maybe they should spend more time improving themselves and less time complaining about "racists", right? :)
Every time you hear "call back" "precursor" "evokes" or "next evolution" take a shot
Then do it again in the "every stormtrooper" video
The Delta Jedi Starfighter is probably my favorite fighter ship. Though it lacks deep space travel abilities. I love the simple design.
I still have the A Wing and the Tie Interceptor models because those where my favorite ships as a kid in the 90's.
Drinking game:
Drink a shot everytime they say,
"what's interesting about this design"
Drink a shot everytime Doug says "Actually."
- favourite
- unique
- iconic
- .....
my liver can't handle that
They spent so much time doing such a great job designing these spaceships
it would have been nice had they spent more time on the scripts and acting
Star Wars Trivia Night at a bar... I call Doug Chiang!!! I get the feeling his office is full of scale models of every ship.
10:30 "Did you see that? Did you see that!" - the first time a stormtrooper shot at something and hit it.
Fun Drinking Game (for alcoholics): everytime he says interesting, evokes, or iconic, take a shot
Best looking starship: Nubian Royal ship
Coolest starship: Lambda class shuttle (imo ofc)
I always wanted a Lambda to cruse around the galaxy in
Thank you Doug for designing my favorite star fighter the n1 Naboo starfighter

MAKE IT LONGER!
The B-Wing is the coolest star fighter by far
This.

Agreed. Hoping to see it get some actual screen time finally, now that blue screen limitations are bygone. Still working on absorbing this update though; been admiring the original for so long that anything they did was bound to look weird at first.
@@yanceynitzsche5115 Yeah considering they enter service with the rebellion in Return of the Jedi, I was really disappointed to see they weren't used in TFA or ROTJ instead of those dumb bombers
@@nekro6897 I didn't hate the design of the bombers, kinda dug the ww2 callback but yeah, big letdown in execution and exactly where the B's should've been. I got the sense, given that they were being cannibalized for parts, maybe the fighter was unreliable (which is true in canon) so they gave up and went back to reliable X's and A's. Now I guess they were just...elsewhere in tfa and tlj?? *shrug* Whatever, won't complain til I see it. :)
" The A-wing is really interesting to me because it's the first time we really saw the rounded shape, at least with the fighters".
[-O-]
oh that took a second to figure out ahaha.... i guess you could say they TIE for that position
Aw I wanted to see the fires firespray design process soo bad. That ship has gotta be one of the most interesting
Great insight and behind the scenes! I loved this.
Can we get an “Every Blaster Ever” video??
KoobmoovY 2.0 ooooh I wish

Take a drink when you hear “fun fact” or “precursor”
Take a drink every time you hear "George is a fan of..."
Death by alcohol poisoning.
Take a drink every time they mention racing or cars
A still shot of each model for a second or two would've been good. Hard to tell which one on screen they're talking about sometimes
I always thought the T-65 X-Wing was modeled after the A-10 Warthog. Beautiful plane, in my opinion.
honor mention: snow speeders
Everytime Doug says "Fun" have a shot or cone......
My favourite is the naboo starfighter its small but its fast and cool and I love the look with the wings
The N-1 Starfighter and the entire design language for the Naboo is my favourite Star Wars aesthetic
They fricked up when they got to the resistance bomber
How so?
Devan Devan Apparently when Rian Johnson was asked about bombs in outer space he threw out the idea of them having some magnetic capability to draw them down towards the First Order ships…In other words he didn’t really give it any thought at all it was just something thrown together. I didn’t hate the design so much as I hated the idea of the thing. Just a bad plot device…The influence of World War II bomber design was too overt with tail gun turrets and the crew even wearing caps that were direct copies of WWII bomber crew outfits.
Hmmm, as i thought about the faling bombs : the bomber has an athmosphere shield (to hold in the air when bomb shafts are opened) and also have an artifical gravity generator.. the bobs will be acelerated by the artificial gravity, pass the athmosphere shield and stay in this state.

Y wing is my favorite, followed by the ARC 170 and the tie interceptor
Doug if you ever see this THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE NABOO 1 !!!!!
