i was in a department store the other day picking up some lego and i noticed the 'clone wars' era 'stealth star fighter'.

Its basically a black e wing..

I thought the e wing was invented well after the clone wars.

I might totally repaint my ewing black as i really dont like the stock model at all.

E-wing was developed post endor so yeah someone's messed up there.

thats what i thought.

Might repaint mine anyway, it looks tons better in black and red...

It will look good in black, let's face it it's hard to make it look worse.

My thoughts exactly, its an awful looking ship.

you seem to forget that the EU doesn't actually exist.

European union? when did they dissolve??? lol

LIES! But that e-wing may no longer exist if rumours are right and it's had a redesign in the new film.

Because jar jar Abrahams can't bleedin leave things alone.

well actually, any day now if you believe half the news reports!

The e-wing needs a redesign. It looks like a ship that was cobbled together out of spare parts.

It is not lies. The expanded universe has become Legends. Unless the new fiction confirms something from the old Expanded universe, it didn't happen. However all new fiction (books, movies, comics, etc) is considered 100% canon.

Also the mans last name is Abrams. They've redesinged the x-wing too, which is fine. It's the ship that blew up two death stars and the new one is sexy as hell.

No his last names mud after what he did to star trek, he's not with the effort it would take to check for the right spelling.

As for OP, yeah. Yeah somebody really dropped the ball here with the, "Stealth fighter". As an upside, it sure does make a nice alteration to the dorsal cannon uptop. It's nice to have that thing be able to pivot.

On the downside it is the single most EU offensive thing the lego stuff has ever done oh my god. I do however like the wings that fold upwards. Those are super cool.

I think that ship is from one of those lego tv specials that aren't canon. It's definitely a rip off of the e-wing though.

Guys, this model is based off of the E-wing, but it is from the non-canon Lego Yoda Chronicles series. It isn't canon. It isn't actually an E-wing.

As for Jar Jar Binks...... STOP CHANGING EVERYTHING FOR THE SAKE OF CHANGING EVERYTHING!!!!!

P.S. Why does everyone think it's super ugly?? Looks better than a B-wing for sure.

No it really doesnt. the B wing looks like it should be in star wars... the e wing looks like it fell out of BSG.

Not really, it has the same body as an X-wing, but different wings. My only complaint is that bringing the engines uptop and closer to the fuselage would be safer for them, and more efficient.

No, it looks awful and not in keeping with the star wars designs from mcquarries concept art.

I get you like it but i think you're kind of in a minority there.

Judging by the fact that every store i ever pop into has bucket loads of ewings on the shelves but sells out of other ships quickly makes me think that, in the uk at least, its not that popular.

It also has zero resemblance to a letter E. B wings were pushing it and that was really only the name because they were 'a type fighter' and 'b type fighter' in pre production.

Well in my opinion, have engines uptop and closer to the fuselage (like a Z-95), and have the laser cannons actually on the wingtips would be the only things that could make it look better. I also like how the Astromech is actually in the cockpit.

It actually does resemble an E on it's side: /-|-\ (roughly)

Weird thing is if you google images of of Jek-14s Stealth Fighter, you can see that the wings flex up and down. But I agree, someone screwed up Ewing design timelines on this one

It's not an E-wing. It's concept was taken from the E-wing, but it isn't actually one.

*really*

If you squint a bit and its at night, yeah maybe....

It doesn't matter anyway, as anything LEGO writes as a plot isn't canon in any way.
