These gorilla walkers remind me that when it comes to designs, the sequel trilogy REALLY has lacked in creativity. Max Landis made a great point about how even in the OT, we had Y-Wings, TIE Bombers, TIE Interceptors, etc. In the prequels we got a load of new ships. Far different than the OT but I really appreciated them from a purely visual perceptive. Even Rogue One introduced a new ship and made sure to include Y-Wings. And they made a new type of TIE Fighter.
The Force Awakens literally had TIE fighters and X-Wings. That is literally it. Very lame in my opinion. The resistance ships on Crait seem really new and unique though so that excites me! 😃
