Totally looks like a snowspeeder with the side flaps stretched out front to me.
Either way, looks dumb.Not as dumb as prequel era ships that an Artoo unit can’t possibly fit inside the fuselage of. 😉
Really? The Naboo fighters were one of the very few designs I liked from the PT. R2 practicality or not, it’s a better looking ship and didn’t rely on recycled bits of ships we’ve already seen just to make it look ‘Star Wars’.
