Recognizable? you mean like the RBR, which appears on screen for.. what, two
minutes, and mainly from behind? When I heard they released the Tantive IV, i
said "the what? where was that in the movies?" and then i saw the engine
cluster and recognized it.
Growing up, the Mon Calamari ship defined the way I thought space ships should
look, and still do to a smaller fashion. The graceful oval shape with little
'bulbs' all over it. Personally, it was my favorite of the large ships
following the SSD.
But personally I think a UCS MF is the best hope. as mentioned before, it is
*the* starship of the Star Wars series, and the most recognizable vehicle after
the x-wing.
