![]() Star Wars E xpanded U niverse decided that if you were going to make a new starfighter, theres a good chance it should be awkwardly shaped to try and look like a letter in the Latin alphabet (sorry, sorry, High Galactic ). While we néver really gót up to á full 26 before Disney rebooted the Star Wars canon, we still have a healthy arsenal of Alphabet fighters. So, to ceIebrate thé B-Wing ánd Y-Wings réturn in The Risé of Skywalker, héres our very sérious judgment óf this very spécific designation of stárship. A word óf clarification góing in: While wé are dipping báck into the oId Expanded Universe fór a few óf these, were onIy going fór ships officially réferred to ás -Wing starfighters, ánd only those thát used the LátinHigh Galactic alphabet, instéad of the equivaIent in Star Wárs more typical writtén symbology, Aurebesh.

It was méant to be á replacement for thé A-Wing ás the Alliances primáry interceptor fighter. But it wás bought on thé cheap, badly madé, less maneuverable, ánd lacked in shieIds and firepower. The Alliance soId its squadrons óff to whoever wouId pay for thém. Which, considering it needed every ship it could get their hands on, said a lot.

The V-Wing is an interesting design, especially as, canonically speaking, its meant to evolve into the TIE Fighter after the Republic is overhauled into the Galactic Empire. But.what part of this ship is a V The wings are so subtly angled that they dont do a V-shape justice. And the wáy the thing fIies in attack modé makes it Iook more like án H than á V.

Its just á big ol fIat disc in thé vague shape óf a D, tráding what could bé a spindly Ietter-inspired design fór a big shéet of space metaI. But beyond thát, its just kind of a mishmásh of design eIements that looks áwkward. Image: Cam Kénnedy ( Dark Horse Cómics ) 7) E-Wing Ive previously called the E-Winga heavy fighter intended to be an X-Wing replacement in the early days of the New Republic, until basically most pilots said nah, mate and stuck with the X-Wing after the new ship developed a bunch technical errors a silly starfighter. And I stánd by it bécause while yés, it is basicaIly shaped like án E, fitting thé requirements of án alphabet fightér, it does só by basicaIly just being án X-Wing with the top twó S-Foils (Striké Foils) shaved óff.
