Hurricane29 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I think that its forward too. The left side of the pic shows the area where the wing folds down to and you can see the same gray area behind the droid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Jenius Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I wonder if that Tie-Fighter is actually in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 (edited) which tie fighter are you talking about? the one in the list of upcoming 2005 legos? on the bottom it say Star Wars Original Edition , thats the only one that says it so i think it is a re-release of the classic star wars legos instead of something in the new film, who knows maybe we might see a glimpse of it at the very end. i would also say during the middle and end of the year you will probably see a ton of other OT and Prequel stuff released, considering this is the last Star Wars film being made they are going to want to get as much stuff on the market as possible. as for the folding wings on the jedi star fighter, if you look at the lego version it shows the R2 unit in front of the wings, so the wings should be able to close. edit: i just noticed on the Lego tie fighter if you push down on vaders head the light saber lights up, cool.

GRAND CANNON Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 edit: i just noticed on the Lego tie fighter if you push down on vaders head the light saber lights up, cool. Yeah, this is cool. Man, I wish I kept my SW Lego sets - or at least the mini-figs, which were the main reason for getting them in the first place. I'd like to check out these illuminating sabers in-hand.

HWR MKII Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 (edited) ill have to check my references but the defender doesnt look like that. ill scan the image tomorrow and edit this post with it. the defender , clutch and phantom all have 3 wings but the defender is larger behind the ball section. they are all variations of a theme and easily confused. look in the vehicles and vessels book for the EU line art and the defender is in there.

eugimon Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 that is definitely not the tie defender... tie defender comes along much later, and has three wings that look like the got taken off tie intercepters but instead of the fins being folded in, are folded out. Besides, the tie defender comes along after RotJ... in the game, the empire finally catches on the shields and a hyperdrive on snub fighter is a good thing.
