^ I thought it was the same car used to crash the Star Destroyer Bridge? (an in-joke? as it was the substitute for the A-Wing crashing through the Executor bridge on film?)
Speaking of which…
The A-Wing
…my favourite craft, much overooked and doesn’t get much love (I looked in the recently necrobumped X-Wing or Y-Wing, which ship would you prefer? thread and in the ‘Ships & Vehicles Index’ but couldn’t find a thread for it - so will post some love here (in ‘ooj’ style)…
The ship that brought down the Super Star Destroyer ‘Executor’…
^ Respect and remember Green Squadron! 😃

If anyone has some images of the A-Wing models being built or used by Lucasfilm for ROTJ, please post them up!
obligatory Rogue Squadron reference:
“The A-Wing is fasted fighter we have - capable of matching a TIE Interceptor in speed. Twin J77 Event Horizon engines power the craft and twin blaster canons provide offensive weaponry. However, what we gain speed we lose in defence - deflector shield capability is significantly less than the X-Wing - so make sure you use your speed to dodge lasers than rely on shields. The A-Wing also carries a limited number of missiles.”
