I've got to disagree on this one too. Needa would have had a Lambda shuttle. The Empire was based on Nazi Germany and the Nazi officers always had the best cars. It was a status and power symbol, very flash

But there's no need for it to be a Lambda. Needa's shuttle WAS cool. It also gets away from the notion that seems to pop up in EU stuff that there is ONE kind of anything. We have 39 kinds of Star Destroyer but only one kind of "best" shuttle?

And maybe the Lambdas were NEXT years best model?

But the original Needa's shuttle was just a TIE bomber. What was he going to do? Bomb the hell out of the Executor so he didn't get strangled? lol

As I have always said.........I would have left Needa's shuttle as a TIE Shuttle.

The TIE Shuttle was conceived for ANH's opening scene but never used, but the design did make its appearance in ESB as Needa's shuttle & as a bomber.

Before I did my first Youtube mock-up, I did try to convince Ady to keep the TIE Shuttle as it was as I thought a Lambda shuttle was a bit OTT to make a Star-Destroyer to Star-Destroyer trip......and the Lambda shuttles are a bit over used in the films.....thats when I suggested maybe a Shuttle classier than a TIE Shuttle/Bomber design, just for interstellar flight thus keeping its solar panels...thats my Avatar.

......but alas Ady said no.........Lambda shuttle it is.
