Totally looks like a snowspeeder with the side flaps stretched out front to me.
Either way, looks dumb.

Not as dumb as prequel era ships that an Artoo unit can’t possibly fit inside the fuselage of. 😉

Really? The Naboo fighters were one of the very few designs I liked from the PT. R2 practicality or not, it’s a better looking ship and didn’t rely on recycled bits of ships we’ve already seen just to make it look ‘Star Wars’.

^ It’s a Snowspeeder with X-Wing engines.
I don’t mind the little TIEs, but I’m not diggin’ this U-Wing. Maybe it’ll grow on me. One of the things I like about the OT is that not every thing looked super cool. Made the world more real. But those engines on the back just look SO out of place to me…
Obvious Kitbash was Obvious. Reminds me of some of the Kenner smash-ups. In a bad way.

Yeah I think it could have only helped to have just called it The Big Friendly Giant. Then no one would have been confused.

I agree. But, I do kinda like that they’re saying “That’s the name of the book, that’s the name of the movie”. Not like they’re taking some kind of stand or anything, but I can appreciate that they’re sticking to the original title. I didn’t know it was based on anything until Bing’s post.
Still, titling the movie The Big Friendly Giant and then referring to him as “The B.F.G.” in the movie would be better, I think.
