 Fair Hallion posted:Can these fighters actually accommodate an astromech droid, they don't look deep enough. There was originally a plan for a scene in Attack of the Clones where Obi-Wan's droid to come out of its hole and get attacked by dogs or something, where it would be like a much flatter droid than normal, but that was scrubbed. I like to think that's still true though. I kinda like how Anakin's first Jedi Starfighter was ridiculously modded because of course Anakin would want to have a bunch of extra performance beyond the base model and would do a bunch of tinkering.  I don't know if it's a sign of maturity or a sign of just boring design that later he'd just have a Jedi Starfighter like all the others but yellow. It wouldn't even surprise me if the later one wasn't even Anakin's specifically and he just never got the chance to mod it.

They kept him busy. One of the ongoing things in Clone Wars is Anakin being EXTREMELY possessive of his ships, even random garbage freighters he picked up for one mission. Something that there's more than a little fandom consensus about is that Anakin's slave background and interest in tinkering means he hoards whatever scrap he thinks might be useful or cool, and he overengineers the hell out of literally everything he gets the chance to work with.

Six-Of-Hearts posted:Is Boba Fett's ship a fighter? It seemed aerobatic and small-ish enough to count. I'd call it a starfighter since it did pretty well in a dogfight with a Jedi starfighter. It was originally designed as a "patrol ship" and it's job would be to patrol (duh) and guard stuff like prison moons or whatever. It was heavily armed and had a lot of internal room for a combat ship, it could even take on passengers and had cots to sleep on. When Jango Fett stole his I think he blew up the factory that made them, making his the only one left. Then he modified it to have even more weapons/sensors and replaced some of the living space with a small brig for prisoners.

Six-Of-Hearts posted:Is Boba Fett's ship a fighter? It seemed aerobatic and small-ish enough to count. It can starfight, but considering what it's used for, I wouldn't really say it's a "starfighter." The Falcon is considered a "Light Freighter," and the Slave 1 is a step down from that. I'd consider it an Assault Shuttle or a Gunboat, if we wanted to get technical about it - but Wookiepedia has it listed as an "Interceptor."

It handles like a cow in Rogue Squadron too. I'm not exactly sure how good the Millennium Falcon actually is at hauling freight either, but I guess it's about the size of a small house with some extensive living quarters, so there's probably room for a lot of boxes.

I'd say Slave I is a borderline case because Jango was able to go 1 vs. 1 with a Jedi in a starfighter designed specifically for Jedi, which clearly puts its maneuverability and the designers' intent in a starfighter category despite its size and larger living space.

The millennium falcon is the space equivalent of a kick rear end van with a dragon and wizard airbrushed on the side. An xwing is the space equivalent of a gen 2 Camaro. A-wings are one of those fast and the furious import racers. Y-wings are el caminos. B-wings are one of those chevy ssr's, or weird concept cars that make sense when you tilt your head and squint. Tie fighters are cop cars. e: The naboo starfighter is a 1965 aston martin Queen-Of-Hearts fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Jan 27, 2020 |

I wouldn't call the B-wing my favorite exactly but this sequence rules hard because it's a direct reference to the opening of The Rocketeer, and that movie was directed by the guy who designed the B-wing. Rebels has a bunch of super deep cuts like that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NELo74udR7A
