There is Rhys Dallows droid Wrench, and both would fit an N-1 expansion.
N-1 Naboo Starfighter for X-Wing

I think @Odanan did "wrench" once but am not 100%

Nice.
"Wrench" would be pretty sweet on a T70.

It would be even better on an N-1 with an evade action.

I would like to do the forth pilot as unique too, but couldn't find any other new canon character that piloted it.
Oh yeah easy gonna be great here. I really want this ship in the game.
1. It is a really good looking ship
2. It will hopefully boost 2 Attack ships.
3. the rage of prequel haters.
Episode 1 isn't that bad of a movie; if they cut all JarJar scenes and replaced it with a Qui-Jon or Maul back story it would be a great film.
And let's leave pod racing in; let's face it this movie was for the kids to get them into Star Wars.
I am a prequel hater and I'd love to see this ship.

Well that's an oxymoron, think you maybe rarer than Astatine
I can compartmentalize. It's a neat-looking ship, and of all the things that were wrong with those movies, that ship wasn't it.
(I also think that, as bad as it was, The Phantom Menace was the best of the prequel movies. I'm not your average prequel hater. Though to be fair that opinion is due to just how bad I think the other two movies were.)
I've got to admit i did enjoy large parts of Revenge of the Sith.
Revenge of the Sith shares a common defect with X-wing Miniatures game.
Not enough N-1.
My son (4) and I restarted the saga yesterday as his interest and attention span is there to watch through now. We have watched a New Hope and Force Awakens a couple of times together now and he loves both. but I decided to start from Phantom Menace.
He badly wants an N1 fighter toy in his life now. He think's its such a cool ship. I badly want one in the game.
but, his laughter, and how much Phantom Menace kept his attention made me realize it's not that bad of a movie. It also reminded me, they are kids movies! There was a lot of humor in Ep1, even fart jokes... now Ep8 doesn't seem so bad.
Off topic rant over lol
But yes, I need an N1. with Leia pilot. So much alt-art could be done here... including that awesome smile she has in her Hoth outfit.

I tried to watch TPM with my oldest son when he was 4 years old. He asked me repeatedly, “Where’s R2-D2?” until the hero of a thousand devices appeared on screen. Satisfied with R2-D2’s appearance, he asked me, “Where are the Stormtroopers?”
I informed him, “There are no Stormtroopers in this movie.”
My child didn’t say a word in response. He just got up and left the room.
I tried to watch TPM with my 6 years old son. At the first half of the movie we decided we had enough.

What i little legend; I watched one of SW movies recently with mine youngest; and when R2-D2 and C-P30 appeared he asked me
"Daddy are those the bad guys?"
"Yes, son yes there."

It’s actually got some good stuff in it to enjoy. The opening is awesome, we get some of McGregor’s best stuff as Obi-Wan, and some of the emotional pay offs land well.
heh though I have to agree with @jmswood that it losses points for being the only prequel movie without the N-1.
I wonder if we will ever get Digital re"Mastered" versions of prequels

Arguably, as a movie, it is the least concerning of the Prequels, despite a lack of a "main character." Your hero cannot sit out the entire first, or second act and still be the main protagonist (Anakin, Obi-Wan.) Qui-Gon and Padme are the closest to the main character, but between the already-knowing most of this stuff to the doppelganger ruse, neither fully qualifies (but it should be Padme.)

It's not entirely bad, but I think the 4 simultaneous endings certainly don't help. Coupled with Jar Jar, and what I said above about lacking a properly identifiable main character, it just isn't all there. At least it has a complete and identifiable beginning, middle, and end.
I'm wondering if I waited to introduce star wars to my son until he was 10-11ish where he might understand the story telling a lot more if we did a 1-9 marathon (with Rogue One) how he would put it all together and react... If you watch it in "episode order" it's actually very well put together as a saga and makes a lot of sense story wise...

Would be an epic way to spend the weekend.
Does anybody know where the new Trilogy after squeals is gonna sit?
Personally, I can't marathon that many movies in succession anymore. I could probably manage a prequel a day, then Rogue 1 and A New Hope the same day, Empire and RotJ the same day, and maybe TFA and TLJ on the same day. I just don't have enough patience for the crap all at once, and any more than 2 movies at once is just too much for me. It's part of the reason I didn't like the Hobbit, and can't be bothered to watch Return of the King more than the one time I saw it in theatres 14 years ago.

They are modern films so there's nothing to remaster. The picture and sound won't deteriorate since they are saved digitally like all modern films.
I would bet the 3D versions and/or 4k versions will be released down the road. Probably after ep9 as a new saga boxset.

agreed. I used to be able to do all 3 originals in a row. but couldn't do that now.
