This is by far one of my all time favorite ships!!!
It is pretty cool, no doubt about it!
Some interesting trivia, the first U-Wing was designated "J.R."
That's right, the J.R. U-wing.
Haha...a Throwback to the days of Dallas. Probably not a lot of these cats are gonna catch that one, but I really liked it.
Good one Jonsey! Precise and Thorough. Well done.
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Was impressed with this ship when I first saw it. I'm not a big fan of that movie but I really like this design alot. Definitely feels like a star wars ship!
It definitely gives off a strong x-wing vibe, no doubt! I think that's one of the biggest reasons they went with the central cockpit and rotating s-foil wings. Not gonna lie, I wish more of the sequel trilogy movies did this instead of just slapping a fresh coat of paint on an old ship and saying it has new systems. There was so much potential for new ideas while still maintaining the familiarity of the other movies!
@@hyperspacedatabase definitely agree with that! They had an opportunity to introduce a ton of new ships but they didn't do it. Still, I think they hit a home run with this one.
Just picked up the SW galaxy squadron U Wing. It's dope
Sweet! That's awesome!
I love the Rebel U Wing Starfighter and the Imperial Zeta Cargo Shuttle from Star Wars: Rogue One (movie).
The X83, u-wing and stealth x are favorite wing ships.
Those are all great choices! Very unique ships all around.
And now I'm wondering what it would've been like if just one of these survived into the Original Trilogy. I doubt it would have survived at Yavin. On Hoth it probably could've been helpful against the AT-AT invasion. As for Endor, maybe to drop troops off to support Han's team?
Any critiques of my theories?
Good observations! Endor is tricky with all those trees, hence the beach landings on Scarif, but I think it would have been very effective in those other battles!
@@hyperspacedatabase oh, right. Hadn't thought of the tree issue. The dedicated and improvised landing zones would've been Imperial territory, huh.
@@hyperspacedatabase now that I think about it, a U-Wing probably would've helped draw fire at Yavin. If it could fit the trench and boost its rear shields, it would've provided better cover for the bombers.
@@konstellashon1364 Yeah, I could see that!
epic poggers
the U wing is 79 ft long!?!?! what are you smoking?
You'd have to ask the guys who designed it. Those are their specs I listed.
@@hyperspacedatabase I apologize, I read that as "79 meters". On my second watch, I saw my mistake. Again, I apologize
@@VaughnKing lol, no worries. That would be extremely long indeed!
