Upsilon is Kylo Ren's baby. And a different type of shuttle entirely.

I'm actually starting to look forward to the Ups coming out now. I've got a nice little idea in mind for it.

I would like them to bring out the Tie Hunter OR an AWAC type of Tie Bomber.

It seems like this season of Rebels is making nods towards the X-Wing community, they've been pulling in several of the expanded universe ships onto that show lately. I do hope they are setting up the X-Wing for a reveal soon - it's been strange just seeing A-Wings and Y-wings on the Rebels side. (though they could do a Rebels prototype A-Wing model that would be nice).

I'm hoping after the Upsilon they back away from the big transports for a bit. I think the shuttles from Rogue One would probably be Epic ships; Sabine's Sentinel-class shuttle is probably too big as well (If Mel's Minis is right the thing is the size of the old Action Fleet toy).

I would, however, like to see the Empire/Rebels/Scum get some large military vessels along the lines of the Decimator - ships really designed for use as fighting craft, and not transports/shuttles pulled into a war zone.

It was my understanding that they were sticking to A-Wings and B-Wings deliberately, to show that they were a different cell to the group that supplied the ships to Red, Blue, Grey and Gold squadrons.

They've been talking about how people keep on asking them for the Assault Gunboat for years still haven't released it.

The missile boat also from TIE Fighter well be, well a little too insane.

Well I know they just came out with the S&V Epic C-ROC but I really wanted Pre Vizsla's - Gauntlet Kom'rk-class fighter transport. The C-ROC is a great add though for classic smuggler appeal so its good, but I like Protectorate & Firespray to try and float a Mandalorian appeal and a Kom'rk-Class Fighter transport would add to that a bit more. We'll see in the future though, or maybe they'll drag in some other shady groups to roll with.

I'll admit, I'm a bit miffed that we could have had an Action VI transport and a StarViper upgrade, and we got the Scyk instead.

Ah well...

Well I think the scyk and z-95s are the basic fighters in the faction. Like the T-65 and TIE fighter are. This thing is Gozanti sized so I'm actually surprised it didn't have 2 little gnats. Anyways the space crocodile is gorgeous.

If I remember correctly, Rebels takes place 20 years after Episode 3 and 18 years before A New Hope. That means there is plenty of time before the Striker is introduced, if I am not full of horse poopoo.

Rebels starts about 14 years after ep3 which puts the siege of Lothal aproximately 5 years before ANH. Ezra turns 15 in season 1. He's currently (S3) 17. He's the same age as Luke, basically. (Pablo Hidalgo, LSG).

Ohhhh found another pretty ship. Scum maybe?

Definitely not scum. Imperial if anything for the Chiss/Empire of the Hand

Actually a guy in my local area 3-D printed the wings to one of those to make an interceptor for Soontir Fel, if I can, I will try and get a picture of it on Monday.

Sentinel class shuttles are bigger than the lambda shuttles (they show up in the SE for SW dropping troops off for the pod search). First showed up in concept art for jedi.

I think the Chiss Clawcraft will remain forever in Legends continuity and not much else. They've been really busy repopulating the CW Era and bridging the gap between Ep. Vi and VII with the comics and novels.

Speaking of which, has Soontir Fel even made a reappearance in the new canon?

I dont believe he has, but they do show a TIE Interceptor with the 181st's Veteran Markings on it in Rebels. I believe it was piloted by a Baron of the Empire too, but it wasn't Fel.

I agree, U-Wing and Striker were definitely not near the Clone Wars at all
