This is one reason a lot of us old coots thought we would be seeing shiny new X-Wings in the prequels. ;)

Exactly. It is amazing it took them this long to do it.

Maybe it was because I was younger then, but I always found the OT ships fascinating. But the only PT ship to ever be of any interest to me was the Naboo fighter. Not sure why, but I always kind of liked that one. Kind of funny how we all made such a connection with the Falcon in the OT, but there was nothing like that in the PT. No special ship they flew around in and cared if it got damaged or not, everything was extremely expendable.

It is also kind of silly that we don't see a bunch of the PT ships flying around in the OT, Obviously we still see people driving around in twenty year old cars today. But nothing in the PT even resembles sleeker versions of ships seen in the OT. It honestly feels like two different universes. I really thought we'd be seeing Y-Wings and X-Wings or something a lot like them in the PT.
