New ships from Solo, sort of spoilerish

By Grand Admiral Buford, in Star Wars: Armada

so sad they didnt put the VSD instead of an ISD on the Kessel exit.

I would have loved to see an Interdictor here. The TIE chase would have been to get out of the range of the Grav Wells before jumping to light speed (with the super fuel).

Thematically perfect, I agree, I would still have rather seen a VSD make an appearance on screen, FINALLY!

gawd imagine if last jedi had just used interdictors/grav wells instead of "fuel" as it's basis for not being able to get away.

One way to make every Armada player happy during Episode IX.

The Resistance goes to a planet that has a shipyard of “mothballed” Imperial / Rebel ships (like the one outside Tucson, AZ), consisting of old VSDs, Interdictors, Gladiators, MC30s, etc. Since they need ships, they could get them working and into the big fleet battle at the end. The lines write themselves: “Do the Grav Wells still work on hunks of junk?” or “No one’s seen a Victory fly in 40 years!”

Yep. A beautiful opportunity wasted.

Absolutely brilliant! We could finally get every EU ship on screen, without it being weird!

If only that would have been the only thing wrong with the movie...

Lets not talk about it. I could write a thesis on things wrong with that movie.

I'm planning to...

at the car chase on corellia, when the camera was looking in the driving direction towards the spaceport, on the left of the screen to me it looked like a fully loaded gozanti coming closer to the surface everytime the camera was looking there.

was it something different, possible. just looked like a tie loaden goz.

Was certainly a Gozanti or a C-ROC variant. Really nice to see one on the big screen.

Loved that there were specific mentions of a VCX-100 and Bossk

There were so many Easter egg references in Solo, we will be noticing them for the next year. I caught over a dozen, and I'm sure I missed just as many.
