Not quite. These have an aft-facing back seat for a gunner. Don't know if Dodonna's cell removed those for weight savings and personnel necessity, or if these particular Y-Wings are out of commission (temporarily or permanently) at the time of the Battle of Yavin. If nothing else, the markings are repainted somewhere between this and R1/ANH.

One of the thing that I'm really liking this season is that most of the Ghost crew have gotten new costumes, it's so rare to see new costumes in animated shows, most of the time characters are seen in the same outfit from the beginning of the show's run to the end. This is a particularly bold move for a 3D animated show since it involves, at the very least, creating new textures, if not new models to reflect the costume change. It's a lot easier in 2D animation since you have to draw the characters from scratch every episode anyhow so a costume change is just a matter of familiarizing your animators and painters of the change(s).

Actually, having done 3d...I'd think it's alot easier in 3D

The computer does most of the in between work.. you just move the character like you did before and take maybe 6 hours creating the new costume.
In 2D, you have to learn to make the character walk all over again in the new costume and figure out how the costume is going to react to each movement.

I'd think 3D changes are easier.

Bit of a mixed bag of an episode. I enjoyed the stuff with Kanan and the Bendu was an interesting and new look at the Force. I agree the Ezra characterization is going I tad off the rails and he seems less sympathetic and more snarky and petulant. Hondo is always fun and the assault to steal them a fun enough ride.

very cool!!
 
I kinda miss Hondo being the leader of pirates. Squaring off against Kenobi or maul. He was a lot more fun. Now he's like that alcoholic uncle who impressed you when you were young.

6 months?? Ezra has grown like 12-18". Looks more like 3 years.

Or maybe the artist just thought it looked cool.

Maybe this is just me, but I think you guys are over thinking some of this. There were inconsistencies in the movies so I have to think a weekly kids cartoon is going to be even worse.

Yes, for all intents and purposes these are the Y-Wings that will eventually be Gold Squadron, minor design differences not withstanding.
 
anyone know in ANH if the y wings still didnt have hyperdrives? if all else failed it would be like a suicide mission for those Y wing pilots... death star blows of Yavin, they are lost in space...
