The Cheat Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 YAY! new ties! thats gonna be awesome to see. i cant wait for this film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methos007 Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I kinda hope there aren't any times unless the movie ends around 10 years before ANH. The reason for this is there is a huge amount of EU materiel evolving around where ties came from. If Lucas were to create a new origine, he would nullify what has already been created. Similary, he did this to Slave 1 and Boba Fett when he created Episode 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Here’s a picture found on supershadow, who we all know is as about trustworthy as a great white shark with a sign around it's neck saying "come play with me, I swear I wont eat you" … but then you never know.

dark jedi 8 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 that looks so damn fake! it looks like those sith fighters from KOTOR with some modified tie wings and a little paint added. that supershadow site is really annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Darthy Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 For the love of god!!! I made those for T'Bones Star Wars Universe and that twat Superdick stole them and edited out the names at the bottom! They were made long before I saw the actual Jedi Starfighter Mark 2s which are the prototypes for TIE fighters. The craft are similar in the movie (the cockpit and split wings) and don't resemble TIE Fighters in anyway. I imagine the TIE sound will be the only thing that really links them to TIEs. However - early X-Wings have been designed for the film and word is we'll see them for roughly 2 seconds. Something for us fanboys methinks.

Glaive v.1 Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 cool do the X-wings look the same or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Darthy Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Haven't seen them - they weren't leaked. Ryan Church, a concept designer at Lucasfilm confirmed in a HyperSpace chat that he did the design for the X-Wing prototype. And being redesigned and a protoype then you could safely assume they're different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 weren't the y-wings much older than the x-wings? what's the chance of them or thier prototype being in the movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Darthy Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Probably the same as seeing the X-Wings. Bear in mind this "older then X-Wings" stuff is purely EU and not cannon so its up to George whether we see them or not. Can't see any reason why we won't though - the Tantive IV is there and the Y-Wings can't do anything other then help bridge the gap between III and IV which he's striving to do (everything appears much more worn and used this time around). It's too early in the post production to say though. I don't think these craft are in the opening battle scene at all, thats still mostly those Droid Fighters from TPM with a new paint job, the drones they release, the JSF2s, the various "fish" seperatist cruisers and supposedly the big momas themselves - StarDestroyers. Which leads to the question - where exactly do the X-Wings fit in to all this? There is a short battle between Obi-Wan and General Grievous above Utapau and Obi-Wan gets shot down - hence the showdown on Utapau but what craft the General is using isn't known. Also, there is a colage of clips during which depict several Jedi dying (one is known to die in a tank battle), one clip is supposed to take place in space but almost nothing is known of what takes place there because post has only just begun. And there's another year of post to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Maybe will see them in the big space battle scene in the beginning of the film. I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Darthy Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 It's a possibility - the starfighter attack screen that we know of only consists of Anakin and Obi-Wan in the JSF2s - so what else are the Republic throwing at the seperatists? I know the N1's appear in it at some point but they're not exactly the Crouscant Security force... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methos007 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Anybody got any idea what the scene was that Lucas shot in Tuneisa back in 2001? (The one he did on the DVD so that he wouldnt have to go back again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark jedi 8 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 the x-wings could be the "new" republic fighter to help combat the legions of droid fighters or something like that. if they were in an experimental stage, they would probably only be shown for a few seconds in the film. isn't that big space/ground battle in the beginning of the movie at least 20 minutes. and how much screentime for each?(ground/space).

Yea thats what I was thinking, but his makeup might not match up to what we see in ep3. Imagine the poor baby that got dragged all the way out in the tunisia desert lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Darthy Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I don't think they filmed anyone in the shot. He'll just be digitally inserted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 in an interview from ben burt in the new insider, when asked if we would be hearing the familiar sound of the TIE fighters in EP.3 he said:"I've made it a goal to connect the sounds of the prequal to the original trilogy. there will be sounds that are precursors to the familiar TIE-fighter sounds because i want to make connections with the films in sound, as has been done in art direction."

Lynk Former Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 From the general understanding of Star Wars, X-Wings were pretty new when they flew in the Battle of Yavin so don't expect to see any prototype versions of them in Ep 3 unless of course you want to see a Z-95 Headhunter (EU creation) which is the closest thing to an old skool X-Wing. But that's doubtful to. Maybe we'll get a glimpse of some Y-Wing type crafts... who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Originally posted by Lynk Former From the general understanding of Star Wars, X-Wings were pretty new when they flew in the Battle of Yavin Perhaps a general, EU based understanding, but looking at the movies as stand-alones, there is no reason to assume that X-wings are new models. In fact it seems more likely that they're older and crappier, which is why the Rebel Alliance is able to get ahold of as many as they did. Leading me to conclude a decent probability of seeing prototypes in Ep. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 all the ships the rebellion had were pretty beat up and had that "used" look. so if GL wanted to he could put the real deal in, and say they are brand new or something and thats why they were so beat up in the OT.

Scrodo_Saggins Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 if there are x-wings, then all the EU stuff about them will have to go because the x-wings are an advanced version of the z-95 headhunter. and the EU stuff about tie-fighters should already be scrapped because darth mauls fighter looked exactly like an interceptor when viewed from the back.
