Maybe orange is cheaper? I don't know, but I guess it doesn't bother me so
much.

Well in the case of the RBR maybe they flew thru a meterior storm. And in the
case of the X-Wings, they can go astomospheric, so all sorts of alien dust
would cover them. Plus, both ships could recieve all sorts of dings, scratches
and scorch marks from both battle and docking.

I would prefer grey too, but only because I like grey better. Not because of
the movie references.

However just because they are advertising it as a Rebel Blockade Runner,
doesn't mean it is the Tantive IV. Which is the only one we saw. (Or was
it? There might have been another in the attack on either Death Star, I would
have to go watch the movies again to be sure.) But anyhow, I would be suprised
to find out that the only RBR they rebellion had was the Tantive IV.
