That's just a fresh out of the factory Y-Wing, by the time of the OT, they had just stopped re-installing all that unnecessary cowling

I think its now canon that Y-wings are those old decommissioned ones from the Clone Wars era that rebels stole from the scrapyard, it is understood then that those ships are out of production by the time of A New Hope.

As for landing, they usually landed on racks in the hangers of their home ship, but they could land on the bottom of their wings apparently, but never was shown in canon.

Just the once, and they looked stupid as hell:

It's time to kick the tires and light the fires, Big Bird.


Mostly agree but I would put the Theta shuttle just below the Lambda and shuffle the rest of them down one.

Really not a fan of the Rogue One shuttle, it looks like it belongs in a different universe from the Lambda even though they ought to be contemporaries.

EDIT: huh, apparently it's called the Delta, although that letter rightfully belongs to the Delta JV-7 escort shuttle from TUE Fighter: :colbert:



EDIT2: Oh I forgot about the Zeta from Rogue One as well. This is a good shuttle too https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Zeta-class_cargo_shuttle

I definitely want to do a Star Wars tabletop game where the players get to customize the interior of their ship as well as modifying its stats. I always like the idea of being able to personalize your living space or clothing to better express your character, or have trophies of past adventures set up.
