(...) Ouch, I would have to disagree with you on that last one. The B-wing is no where near as fast or agile as a Tie Advanced, but it does carry way more armor and weapons. TIE Advanced were one of the latest developments in the TIE series and were (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The Shuttle is just a really cool ship! I think that kids will want it just because it looks cool. And, IMO, The Shuttle is highly recognizable as a SW ship.

(...) Basically the Y-wing is an old fighter/bomber that by the end of the trilogy was pretty much past its useful service. The A-wing is a very fast but not very powerful fighter. Because of its speed it is better at fighting Tie-interceptors in (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

No flames please = ) I consider myself a SW fan, but by no means do I know as much as many of you... What is the purpose of the B-wing and A-wing? (vs. the X-wing and Y-wing) I realize the x-wing is a mainline fighter and the Y-wing is a (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
