What is this ship from the Last Jedi? (Missing SKU?)

By Jadotch, in X-Wing

Ok, you just see it for a split second in the Trailer, but Kylo Ren is pursuing it as he flies through the hangar. Is this the mysterious ship owned by DJ? Or just some random small freighter or large fighter during the battle? (It is found at roughly 1:15 of the extended second trailer right before Kylo's Silencer flies through what I assume is a Mon Calamari Cruiser's Hangar.)

New ships are always fun!

Looks like a YT-like freighter to me. Yes, it could be DJ's ship.

PS: since the new trilogy is using the old sketches by Ralph Mcquarrie, I bet there is some early version of the Millennium Falcon that will be salvaged for DJ's ship.

Wasn't the Tantive IV originally supposed to be the Falcon?

OK, I found a 1440p version, this is as high res as I could find on YouTube. Kylo is definitely after it though.

Sort of, the Tantive IV was the modified model of the Original Falcon. I know they changed the front Cockpit on it, I am not sure what else they changed.

I think you might be on to something here!

I'm still hoping for a RZ-2 A-wing, but this definitely looks like a new and modified (I spy a turret) freighter type ship.

Seems a corvette-sized capital ship.

Another shot from the scene a couple scenes before. It maybe imperial and Kylo is escorting? A boarding vessel maybe? It still looks like it is being chased. Hard to tell if it is an escort or a chase.

I reckon it might be with the Raddus. Not the FO.

Kind of offtopic, but if you want to know more about the earlier concept art (and find some gems lazily used rescued by the new trilogy), check this out.

It's everything from Ep VII there: the girl in the desert planet (which is a ship graveyard), the Starkiller base cannon, the streamlined X-Wings, and so on...

Last one to put it more in context.

Yeah, the aesthetics of the ship doesn't scream Imperial First Order to me.

Following Sequel trilogy logic maybe it is a CR180?

How big is this ship? I don't want yet another pwt freighter in the game

It is too hard to guess at this time. I am going to guess Ghost size though from the few split seconds we see it.

It looks like it can fit in the landing bay of the Mon Calamari cruiser there.

Think another YT with PWT, tech slots and t-rolls or sloops

Fun. <_<

Cool!

At least one of those had been used for X-Wing card art (I think)...

... some others could be too!!

Those angular side-protrusions, which look as though they may be towards the front of the ship, gives it a style similar to the turtle-like Class 720.

Darth JarJar, didn’t you hear?

No, I keep forgetting to watch the trailers.

Thought the same as ABYX: Ghtroc Industries class 720 Freighter. Those angular side-protrusions and the dorsal dome are looking familiar. Maybe it is a new Ghtroc Industries freighter?
