Hello All,

With the new " ROGUE ONE " coming out soon, I have noticed a lot of Banter and, Arguments as to who is who and what.

with the Force Awakens.

Disney Dispelled of everything after Jedi, So the books and graphic novels didn't count.

Rogue One was Originally Luke.....in the Books, He left to re-establish the Jedi Oder. and Wedge became Rouge one.

Luke and Wedge set up the Rouge Squadron Together after the Battle of Yavin.

( Even though Luke Becomes Rogue One, if you notice. In Empire and Jedi he is still flying his RED 5 X Wing,

during his trips to see Yoda )

The Film looks to be set mostly ground based......we will soon find out.

Maybe Luke Called the Special X Wing Squadron after them, or he took on the mantle.

I'm sure all will become clear soon,

So Here are a few bits of Info "from the old story's"

And a good way of Painting up More Xwings and Increasing "your Rogue Squadron"

These are the Rouge Squadron Pilots at the time of " Mandatory Retirement " Graphic Novel Series.

I have only posted this as I thought it was pretty Interesting after reading them again.

bought them back in the mid 90's.

I also like the fact that Soontir Fel Joins the Rebellion against the Empire and is enlisted into Rogue Squadron.

"That would be an excellent addition to Xwing...........a Soontir T65 card"

Its not officially part of the Star wars Story anymore.

But a lot of fun to still read........and expand those X Wing Squadron's.

Take care all,

Barry.

Soontir is buff.

Official canon rogue squadron were a group of snow speeder pilots who defended echo base and that's all we ever see of them. Rogue squadron didn't even take part in the battle of endor as far as we know. I'm sure the new movie will completely change what we think about rogue squadron. It may not even be an x wing squad at all...

They're free to take whatever they want and change what ever they want. Like how Horton salm was originally the y wing pilot who flew into the death star, it's now been retconned to be some chick from the aftermath book.

They seem to be shaping up as a starfighter+commando combo unit. I'm okay with that, personally.

The commando part came rather in the Wraith squadron books that followed the rogue squadron books. I never read the comics, but in the Books Corran Horn was the main plot dude, and flew the T-65

Rogue one the film is confirmed to be before new hope so its the original rogues. Commando units. Hopefully the pics of the x wings that have leaked mean we get some shiny new pilots (not that i need more T65s)

I'm wondering:

1. Since Rogue One the movie takes place just before ANH in a pre-Luke period

2. Since Rogue One the movie will introduce at least 5-6 really cool characters just dying for more screen-time

3. and since the Rebels TV show takes place in this pre-ANH time period

THEN

We could possibly see some of the Rogue One pilots and their history filter into Rebels as part of the larger SWCU.

Norra Wexley is a far more interesting character than Horton Salm. Also the mother of Temmin "Snap" Wexley from The Force Awakens.

Don't get me wrong, i remember reading and enjoying the old fiction. But so far I'm preferring the characters of the new.

I would Rather see Thane Kyrell and the members of Corona squadron over the Rogue squadron of the past.

I like the idea of a Rouge Squadron.

Soontir is the best.

How did Luke still have his Red five x-wing in ROTJ when he left it in cloud city? Did someone go back to steal one x-wing? Was it the same person who retrieved THE lightsaber?

Or did Luke just paint up another ship to look like his old one? We may never know.

Mysteries of Star Wars, lost Items of Luke Skywalker...

I must say I have considered building a squad of Rogue Squadron (M.A. Stackpoles books) pilots including Corran Horn, Wedge Antilles, Tycho Celchu, Ten Nunb, Biggs Darklighter and probably Airen Cracken and Horton Salm. Changed my mind after few flights on T-70 and seeing Poe Dameron in TFA.

*redacted*

Cool stuff, thanks for sharing! I was looking to theme some squadrons around the Rogues, but it's been so long since I read the comics that I'd forgotten exactly who was/wasn't in the squadron. I was pretty sure Ten Numb was one of them, though?

On a side note, does anyone know if there's any way I can find the Rogue Squadron comics at a non-ridiculous price in the UK? I'd like to read them again, but they're stupidly expensive on Amazon.

Ahh.

Jirron,

I still prefur the old T65 over the T70.....gasp and horror from everyone.

I like to see good Design.

The T70 looks a little quirky to me.

Yes it is closer to Ralph's original concept art work.

But then it got better when he and Joe Johnson worked on the design.....and then worked up to the now famous....T65.

And I personally don't like those Skinny wings.

To me it looks fragile.

The Original X wing looks more astheticly pleasing.

Although I am probably bias.

Because I didn't enjoy or like Force Awakens that much.

Re- write of A new Hope.

Poor plot and some poor casting choices......Did anybody else think the "rather young" general

Was more like a an upset teenager than a Commanding Figure of Authority ?

Any way.

Enough of me moaning about Episode 7

I just prefur the Starwars Timelines the way it was.

And still do.

And that's partly why I prefur the Original X Wing.

And the Real Rogue Squadron Compared to the new Mucky Mouse Version.

Ignore me, just having a little moan.

Take care and all the best.

Barry.

Ooooohhhh that's brilliant

Well done.

I may use that!

Well done.

I started making them a while ago, but got stuck on pilot abilities. Ididn't want to give Fel/Corran/Ibtisam the same abilities they have on their current cards. any ideas?

Well done.

I'm SOOO using this!

And I agree Barry, I like the T-65 more.

Actually, with the exception of Tycho they all do pretty well on X-wings. Ibtisam especially loves rolling in an X-wing with R2 astro and PTL.
