    X-Wings were officially in use for decades after the GCW. They were slowly phased out by E-Wings and Stealth X-wings for recon. Hell, Y-Wings were still being used in ROTJ. Horton Saalam used them to great effectiveness at blasting Ties over DS2.

    Okay, the X-Wings buzzing the lake was pretty badass.

    I've got some new hope that this one won't suck like I thought it would.

    Indeed!! Their wings look different if you pause it on a large screen. Maybe it's an upgraded version? To use the earlier F-15 analogy, it could be like the F-15E where we saw the A model in episode VI? I also noticed that the Falcon has a new squared satellite/comm dish.
    Before you suggest that licensing, background checks, or other restrictions for the 2nd Amendment are reasonable... Apply those same ideas to the 1st and 4th Amendments. Then tell me how reasonable they are.

    Yeah they're definitely different.

    The Falcon has a new dish because Lando promised to not scratch the Falcon in RotJ. And like always, he lied. He broke off the entire dish when he hit some structural part of the Death Star 2.

    They're probably the MkII X-Wings (X-Wing MkIIs?) that were shown during JJ's call to action or whatever for some cancer or disease or something.

    I'm kinda disappointed in the lack of, well, stars in this teaser. But then, it is a teaser and it is an Abrams movie. And it doesn't give us anything more solid than Spock in a volcano did for Into Darkness.

    Color me strange, but I can't wait for the LEGO sets to come out. And I'm still horked that they moved the release from early-to-mid-May (when every other Star Wars movie has been released - and also around/about my birthday) to December.

    I remembered that, but I guess I figured they'd have replaced it with one just like it. I was thinking the one in the teaser was newer technology, more efficient, etc. Perhaps Lando's piloting was the excuse for the upgrade. I don't know anything about the Star Wars universe between episodes 6 and 7.

    The only things considered official are:
    Ep 1-7, Clone Wars tv series, Clone Wars movie, Rebels tv series, and books released since September this year. I think two books, New Dawn (a prequel for Rebels, which takes place between 3 and 4) and Tarkin, about the guy who commanded and died on the first Death Star.

    I'm still a little sore about that decision as I have every book up to the swarm war, but oh well I guess.
    I paint spaceship parts.

    I read "Han Solo at Stars End" as a kid. It was set before Han and Chewbacca linked up with the rebels though.
