X-Wing’s Pappy Spotted on Set of STAR WARS EPISODE 7


Earlier today we shared the first pics of Han Solo’s trusty interstellar steed, the Millennium Falcon, from the set of Star Wars Episode 7, but now we’ve got some juicier photos to share. Another familiar vehicle has leaked online, and while we naturally assumed it was Luke Skywalker’s trusty X-Wing, we’ve recently discovered it’s something else. According to our resident Star Wars experts, the spaceship below is a Z95 Headhunter, an early fighter used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.

Check it out below:

EXCLUSIVE Production work is underway on the set of the most eagerly anticipated Hollywood blockbuster for years; Star Wars Episode VII.

Here’s a look at the ship as it appears in the Clone Wars. I could’ve sworn we saw it in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith as well, but I might be mistaken. If so, I can’t track down the name of that Prequel ship. It was in Star Wars Battlefront 2, wasn’t it?

Oh, wait, just did a quick Google search. The vehicle I’m thinking of is the ARC-170. Similar to the X-Wing, this spaceship operated in the same fashion as the classic Rebellion starfighter. Except soulless clones piloted the ship instead of our trusty, dusty Rogue Squadron.
