I agree that the old design is timeless and would have been happy to see all the old designs come back. All things considered, this looks pretty good though. It's infinitely more "Star Wars" looking than anything in the New Trilogy. |

I would also point out that the one we are familiar with is canonically an Incom T-65b Space Superiority Fighter, colloquially an 'X-Wing.' JJ Abrams' prop might just be their vision of a T-65c. |

The rebellion was also not exactly known for flying the latest and greatest gear. There's that whole "crushing weight of the empire making you flee your bases" thing.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Alliance_Fleet Quote HistoryThe Rebel Alliance fleet was originally quite small, composed of small to mid sized cruisers, converted freighters, and outdated starfighters. Much war matériel had been scavenged from fleets of the former Confederacy of Independent Systems. In terms of organization, the Rebel fleet was scattered and under various command structures. All ships in service of the Rebel Alliance in the early years before the Battle of Yavin were owned and operated by each individual Alliance member, such as the Sullustans, Corellians or Chandrilans. |

Note that I said "first impression," meaning that I noticed all of those points in the second half of the video when the camera finally scaled out allowing all of it to be visible. Don't get me wrong, though- I do appreciate a good condescending nerd-lecture from time to time. 
To wit: the Z-95 has variations in which it has a nose-cannon for a total of three guns, and another in which it has three on each wing for a total of six- per descriptions in two different books. Oh yeah, and it's spelled "separation," too.

Anyone else notice that that the nose, wings and the majority of the body of the X-Wing appears to be computer generated? At least it looks like that on my screen... No I don't think so looking at it. J.J. Abrams is going though a lot of trouble to make this movie, for lack of a better term, "real." Minimal use of CGI compared to Ep. 1-3. ETA: second look - maybe. The shadow of the X-Wing doesn't cast the same as his own. I don't see it either. Notice the wing tops moving when the pilot climbs in. Abrams made a lot of full-scale models for Star Trek, he's doing the same thing here. Real working models instead of CGI will always look better than CGI when those models are of the highest quality which they are here. |

I'd fly it. I wouldn't. Stupid thing is missing its R2 unit. You only NEED an R2 unit if you're going to go into hyperspace. If you are just going to fly around some, you don't have to have one. What I am LOVING about this new film is it looks like they are using a lot more full scale props and aliens. Less CGI. This will hopefully give it a more real, gritty feel of the original. |

Looks like a Z-95 That was my first impression, too. I saw this version of the X-Wing earlier - and yeah, it looks like a Z-95, but it still has quad cannons. If the wings split open, then It's still an X-Wing. It's been a couple decades since RoTJ, and the X-Wing was considered "old" back then anyway. So I am thinking this is like an X-Wing Mk II. |
