So I'm hoping to hear more about Victory star destroyers.  A couple of people told me why they don't support it, but have I changed anyone's mind, or is anyone reconsidering?  Some votes were flat out yeses to the extra ships, and a couple specifically said no.  I just think that Victories would blend in perfectly, but would be nice support craft.

Also, I was watching the Clone Wars today, and again saw the BTL-B Y-wings, the heavily armored sort.  I think they were a really cool idea and would be a nice additional starfighter.  Several like the idea of Y-wings bombing the Executor, so if that idea passes, perhaps the this Y-wing could do the bombing run, while the other Y-wings serve more in the starfighter role (as they both have been sort of differentiated in this regard anyway in the EU)/

BTL-B

 

BTL-S3 or BTL-A4 (very similar to each other, former is pilot and gunner, latter is single pilot, shown in the films)

EDIT: I'm also thinking it would be cool to add Interdictor cruisers, as they are specifically designed to prevent hyperspace escape, and it would be more logical to include them to prevent escape.  Thoughts anyone?

I know this is kind of a "prequel mentality" but I think the selection process should be this: we should include ships that look cool. Function doesn't really matter, as we're never going to see them prevent escape. But if they look cool, I'm all for having them.

I think you should consider it more like if Ralph Mcquarrie the concept artist for Episodes 4-6 did not design it then it's not really intended to be there...

I would really hate to see loads of CGI ships at the end it would be pretty horrible, and this is far from conservative... To use existing footage of B-wings and A-wings and X-wings from the other films would keep it looking the same but expand the space battle. a bit. I think it's a big mistake to start putting loads of CGI ships at the end it would be like 2 different films in the same movie.... Atleast thats what I think.
