Luke's ship

Maybe we sough Luke's ship leaving Jakku in that Rey's flashback?

 

Nice catch! I forgot about that scene in the Forceback. If some rumors are true, that very well could be Lukes ship.

Im sill going with Vaders ship though

 

My prequel knowledge is shaky at best, but was there a reason that the Jedi used that particular class of fighter (or "classes" as OB1's AOTC fighter differs from the ROTS one)? Presumably, Jedi could be as effective in any fighter, provided that the machine itself was up to the task.

That being said, while Luke in an X-Wing might be a cool way to go, I wouldn't mind seeing Luke in a new fighter for the Jedi. No reason to stick with the old design, especially since they were clearly a design that inspired the TIE fighters (along with V-Wings) anyway.

 

This image of a X-wing under water could be Luke's ship?

 

Possibly. If so, Luke may not have a ship at all and might just be catching a ride on the Falcon with Chewie?

 

The internal logic of the PT films would be that the AOTC fighter wasn't as advanced because the Jedi were like FBI agents or Marshalls, it was designed like a cop car: Fast, nimble, sturdy, with some ability to fight.

The Jedi became more like Navy SEALS or Delta Force in ROTS: they needed something like an F-22 Raptor that was dominant and protected their pricelesss cargo. The clones needed something much cheaper to produce that didn't need all the protection of a Jedi fighter. So they are flying a-10 warthogs: effective for support but not as advanced.


The real answer is toys. They needed to create a new toy Jedi vehicle to sell you.

And I'm dying to see LFL do a movie based on that old SNES video game with V wings and T wings and such.


I appreciate they keep honoring the B wing design by making a few ships in the ST look similar, and seeing the A wings again warms my heart, but with TFA being largely rehash and a spray of cryptic setups, and with TLJ looking like it's already chosen to do homages like the skimmers it's nearly impossible to include new things like a separate kind of fighter Luke had into the narrative without it feeling forced.

We got very little dogfighting in ROTJ, and I hope they make an anthology movie from the ROTJ era like a Top Gun SW movie.

 

Im not counting his X-Wing out just because of it being underwater.. . .

 

I'm no astrophysicist but wouldn't spaceproof be a higher level of proofing than waterproof?

 

Last thing we saw Luke in on camera was a Lamda Class Imperial Shuttle.

 

Now that would be pretty cool if Luke and Rey infiltrate Snoke's SSD with that old shuttle.

Hux: Do they have a code clearance?

Phasma: Its an old code, but it checks out...

 

Ok, I have been biting my lip for a few days now over this pic of Luke on the PB machine. Is it me or does he look like he is straining on a real hard poop?

 

When I saw the title of your post, I thought you were going to ask about the pinball machine image. If I might add another topic/question to the mix: what do y'all think they'll do with the underwater X-Wing? I'm hoping it's not going to be a re-do of the scene from TESB, in which Luke asks Rey to find a way to lift the ship from under the water. But in the BTS video, there was a shot of Rey diving into the water, no? This indicates that she will interact in some way with the X-Wing...

 

Spoiler

There have been rumours of Rey fighting with some aquatic monster, so if anything, the underwater scenes will most piely tie into that.

Speaking of the X-wing from the pinball machine - I believe it was Luke's and he put it underwater because he didn't really plan to escape Ahch-To... and that's pretty much it. It's a cool image, but I don't think it holds any more importance.
