Actually, I lied, there is one more thing: Why does everyone feel the urge
to all build X-Wings, Y-Wings, and Tie Fighters. There are many SW ships
that look a whole lot better, many that have never been done before. Along
with the multitude of other fictional story lines to create customs of,
coupled with the infinite possibilities of actually creating something using
*gasp* creativity... why do people feel so attached to only building SW?

Um, I did post this to the Star Wars group, right? I didn’t think I made a cross
post into Space...
As for why X-Wings, Y-Wings & TIEs seem to be the most popular - well, in the 3
movies, they are the fighters shown the most often. The Rebels didn’t get the
A-wings and the B-Wings until Return of the Jedi. In fact, the only fighters we
saw during The Empire Strikes Back are TIEs and X-Wings (mostly Luke’s at that).
I’m not counting the Snowspeeders and the Cloud City Patrol Ships as fighters -
they’re more of a ‘ground-support’ craft than a ‘Space Superiority’ fighter. I’m
guessing TLC’s license agreement with Lucas only covers the
ships/characters/scenes that are actually seen IN the movies, not in the various
mediums outside of the movies (of course, I still can’t understand how TLC is
including a TIE Droid in the new TIE Fighters pack instead of an Interceptor!).
