I know GL is absolutely intent on selling new toys, but why the heck didn't we see the "debut" of the X-wings, in all their shiny new splendor and glory in this film. After all, they're pretty old and battered by the time of ANH. Instead of these W-wings or whatever they're bound to be called, the story would be better serviced by the "old and battered" technology in the OT being "brand spanking new" in the PT.
