If your answer isn't the Cygnus Spaceworks Starwing Assault Gunboat, you are wrong

The shuttles are pretty dope. I always liked the look of the blockade runners, TIE Interceptors and Y-Wings. I don't think I can say I really dislike or hate any of the vehicles and weaponry this franchise puts out. They are mostly well designed*. *Battlefront 2 criticism: they need to stop making guns for the new era out of the blue and be cool and inventive and modify more World War/Early Cold War surplus weapons instead.

Having read the TFA concept art book, I wish they'd gone through with their early vision of making the First Order's star destroyers the Gladiator class. Early concept art of the First Order's stuff was to make them a weird hodgepodge of cutting-edge Imperial prototypes, abandoned variants, and scavenged scratch-built stuff of their own design, an amalgamation of every bad idea the Empire ever had.

I mean it would have made more sense and would a cute nod towards the desperation of the early days of the Alliance back in the OT. I guess SHINY AND CHROME sells more toys?

I like Darth Maul's ship from Phantom Menace. I had the Lego version when the movie came out. Edit: The one I had looked like this:  But the one you can get now looks like this:

That's ridiculous. I always assumed it was the ship on the cover. That looks like something a Hutt would have to use to get around.

Darth Maul's ship is my favourite prequel ship. I think my favourite original trilogy ship is the Imperial star destroyer. From the games, I liked Montross's ship in Bounty Hunter and the Havoc from Starfighter/Jedi Starfighter.

I like the T-Wing from the flight sims for how terrible it is. It's a cockpit strapped to three engines with no shields and awful guns. Episode 1 has legitimately fantastic production design, more so than the other two prequels. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Oct 13, 2017 |

Yeah the Star Destroyer wedge is just insanely iconic. I think it partially has to do with the opening scene of Star Wars where it just seems to go on for miles. Another ship I aesthetically enjoy is the J-type 327:

My favorite small craft is the TIE Interceptor. My favorite capital ship is the Interdictor cruiser, but I don't think that ever appears on-screen.

The Z-95 has always held a certain visual appeal for me as a lighter, crappier X-Wing. Also what the heck  https://twitter.com/RealRonHoward/status/919270625696538625

Rush is great. I have no problems with Ron Howard. What I do have an issue with is how the hell do you reconcile a Ron Howard film with anything Miller and Lord have done? It's sort of an abrupt change.

It's sort of an abrupt change. Rush was a legit good movie. And I assume there is going to be a LOT of edits to make the film tonally coherent. It's probably going to be a mess.
