Smaller, more snub-nose X-wing, with larger engines, sleeker profile, painted matte black.
It fits the description ( Minus the paints) And would be a cool nod to a cool idea from the novels/comics.
for those who have NO idea what I'm talking about, the Stealth X's were designed for jedi pilots. They had minimal computer systems for guidance and sensors, with more powerful engines, and no proton torpedo launchers, but still carried the torpedo's, which were reffered to as "shadow bombs". Designed to be hard to see, and hard to detect by sensors.
They were designed to be flown by Jedi pilots ( Like Luke), who would use the force instead of relying on computer systems to fly them, similar to what luke does in the Death star Trench in New Hope.
Are you getting the same Stealth X vibe from it that I am?That X-Wing is a thing of beauty. It's amazing how it's instantly recognizable as being an X-Wing and yet the differences set it apart to be something new we've never seen on screen. And yet it's retro and familiar due to McQuarrie's concept art. I wonder if they'll look as beat up and worn out as that model does. I think it'd be neat to see some old X-Wings flying alongside of the these. Sorta like BSG had both the Mark II and the Mark VII Vipers flying side by side?
