NEW Ships In Episode 8... It Might Be Great!

By Joe Boss Red Seven, in X-Wing

Many of us know that there are going to be some new form of A-Wings and X-Wings, and Kylo is getting his own TIE Advanced like his Grand Daddy. This video shows more TIE ships that I had not seen yet, and the fellow mentions his sources which I know Collider's Jedi Council have also cited many times as solid'ish insiders.

It is kinda fun to think about all of this, as it is connected to future waves... and I like dat!

:lol:

All of those TIEs are just ugly. There doesn't look to be a standardized cockpit or piece in any of those three designs.

The problem is the "Tie" Design is overdone at this point, its like beating a dead horse, sure, the horses corpse will keep changing appearance but you still know its the same dead horse you started with. the head might be moved, legs might be on the head with a hoof broke off in a different way, but come on now. STOP BEATING THE DEAD HORSE. Wait....what were we talking about again?

Wow! Talk about extending the metaphor...

Don't get me wrong, I am all for new TIE series starfighters, but don't make them hideous.

I don't mind deviations from the standard design, I welcome it, but I like there to be a unified theme for my bad guys fighters. And those concepts in the video would have been alright if they had started in The Force Awakens, to have a complete design change now just seems silly.

Even the TIE Striker looks like it could have been thrown into the OT at almost any point. It keeps enough design cues from the standard TIE Fighter, Bomber and Advanced to not make me question it too terribly much.

These new ship concepts look like they are out of something like Tron Legacy or a Michael Bay sci-fi movie.

I dunno, the jet black TIE looks kinda cool, like a TIE Khiraxz fighter.

Give that sucker 3/2/3/2 with the dial of an Interceptor (minus a few greens) and I'm good to go.

Maybe even 3/3/3/1, like an FO Interceptor.

Okay...they aren't GREAT...but at least they didn't just paint some Bombers and Interceptors black and white.

They're NEW ships at least. And that's an improvement over Ep7.

And I genuinely like the new bomber. Symmetrical. Looks like it might have a PWT. K-Wing-style.

I agree. They SHOULD have started in Ep7. But it was a mistake not to. And just because they screwed up in Ep7 is no reason to keep on screwing up just for the sake of staying the course.

I think we need to remember that the ships might look a lot different then what we are seeing. As this isn't even concept art.

I would have liked to have seen kylo in a defender, something big and beefy to make up for his weedyness

highly questionable.. the art he does show is all just fanart i've seen on artstation and the like, not related to the film in any way except someone being inspired to make fan art.

and he doubts about the A-wing when that is the only fighter we've actually got photographs of, thanks to their highness's royal visit to ILM.

I would take this with a grain of salt ( no, oceans of salt) the pics are clearly not from any official concept art, so lets just wait and see.

Kylo Ren is such an awesome pilot that he can fly AT-ATs in circles around Defenders and Interceptors. Just you wait, he's gonna b the PS 20 pilot!

Kylo Ren is Sabine?

Of course, it all makes sense now! Kylo Ren, Sabine Wren.

MIND=BLOWN

The black one is pretty good, the other two... :blink:

Wait, how do we know Kylo is getting an advanced?

The A-Wing is the only one confirmed to be in episode 8. (Thus far ...) Where is this guy getting his info.

Besides, we all know the Imperial Assault Gunboat will be in Episode 8.

SOON we'll know more...

To throw some shade on this guy's credibility, he doesn't even realize that there are confirmed new A-wings in ep 8. Not saying he's wrong about everything, but he's clearly wrong about A-wings. We have pictures of prince harry sitting in the cockpit of one while visiting the episode 8 set.

Could be cgi. could be a screen shot of Ewan Mcgregor from episode two in a delta-7 made to look like the prince in an A-wing.

Also GUNBOAT

Anybody who has been watching this stuff knows dam-well that these types of designs have been floating around the NEW Cannon stuff for a good while now; especially Dat Advanced-Advanced for Rennie-Lad!
