I've seen mention on forums and seen some repaints of an E-Wing in Green Squad colors for Corran. Is there any mention Canon or EU of Corran in a green E-Wing? Pics? Maybe from a comic? Can't find much on Google.
Corran and a Green E-Wing??
I know Corran flew a green X-wing, first as part of Corsec (It was contraband repurposed as a security vehicle- A lot of police cars were previously seized and then refurbished instead of being sold), and later when Rogue Squadron resigned during the Bacta War (Since as an independent group the Rogues couldn't fly under New Republic colors). I know I've seen an image of a green e-wing from a comic book somewhere on wookieepedia, but I doubt it was Corran's since he would have gone back to New Republic colors after rejoining. Also, Corran is never technically identified as flying an E-wing. Rogue Squadron was, and as part of Rogue Squadron Corran certainly would have flown one as well, but he's never identified by name in Dark Empire or any other story in which Rogue Squadron uses the E-wing to my knowledge.

Interesting. Always wondered why he wasn't in the game as an X-Wing pilot
Because they had no famous e-wing pilots because it's an obscure ship rarely used in the EU.
The devs said at one point that Corran Horn in his E-Wing was almost Luke Skywalker's second pilot card, but back in wave 4 they didn't want to restrict list building choices like that.

Scathing as his replies typically are, Hobojebus is 100% on the money here.
Corran's X-wing was in Corsec "green on green" in the comics and novels (seen in the comics, mentioned in the novels).
since when the E-wing came out there were already a ton of X-wing pilots, they put him in an E-wing, based on the fact that Rogue Squadron at one point was flying E-wings and B-wings, and the EU established he was still with the squadron at that time. thus Corran in an E-wing. while the X-wing had a custom paintjob because it was counted as his personal property, giving his E-wing the same style of paintjob is a fun way to make him stand out, even though the fighter probably would have been in standard Rogue Squadron grey and red.
