I was just curious if anybody was digging the new but subtle design changes to the x wing as much as I am? I think it looks freakin' awesome.

I like it, but also am a little confused as to how the turbine-like engines work when the s-foils are split. lol

These new ones seem to be adhering a little closer tot he original Ralph McQuarrie drawings, which were hella cool! I always thought when the model makers really got down to actual building of the X-Wing, and asked themselves that same question, the response was "Well, it looked good on paper, but from a practical perspective, each engine needs to have its own fan housing", or words to that effect. So, they made subtle changes, which I thought looked great too.

This time around, going back to the older design is being portrayed as an updated version (T-70 vs. T-65). I still love the design, so we will see how they portray the workings of the engines on-screen, if they even really care to. Might be one of those "it works, because the script says so" kinds of things.
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

err... because they're vents! Yeah, that's right, they're vents! You say they're corkscrewed like a turbine and it make no sense that they're bisected? Nah, they're vents so it's all cool. Whatdya mean that vents are found behind intakes and not in front? Um... Nothing to look at here folks, move along... Move along!
