I think I follow. "Teams" (plural) implies competition, when all the units should be on the same team (singular). It feels sloppy to me as well, but I find it fitting for "the resistance" to be like that relative to the First Order.

As will I. [emoji106]
So Leia has a really big B-Wing, you see it in one of the new TV spots, Finn is boarding it. Also as predicted, Kylo has. Normal face.

Because it's not correct. You can clearly see the context because he's talking to the other fighters, which would be a wing, a group, a squadron, a squad, etc. Team doesn't sound like the correct term. People have been b*tching about the Prequels for 16 years so I'm allowed to complain about one thing. Geez.
Yeah but we've all SEEN the prequels!! This movie hasn't even come out yet! Maybe there is a competition going on or a Nascar race with X-Wings and he's calling for his TEAM! YOU DON'T KNOW!!! That's the point I'm trying to make here! Gimme a break... don't b*tch just to b*tch!
"Team" doesn't need to be in the context of a competition. It's a group of individuals tasked to a common goal. In this context groups of fighters may be assigned to different aspects of a mission and thus are operating as independent teams as opposed to a single squadron or wing.

Yes, but not everybody that spoke with English accents were bad guys, which puts a big gaping hole in that theory.

That's true, just look at US social operations forces, they often break down into smaller units that they call teams. The best example of this is Army Special Forces, they operate in teams which they call A & B teams and neither are in competition with each other, then there's Navy SEALs who are broken down into numbered teams at the highest level. Even outside of the Spec Ops community it's not uncommon for the military to break down into teams and call themselves such and not for the purpose of competition either. Granted that it's uncommon for aerial units to use the term teams but there's no reason that they couldn't, it's not like there are hard & fast rules regarding unit designations saying that ground units can only be called certain things and aerial units other things. In the US cavalry they have squadrons of ground vehicles and both the US & Russian armies/air forces use teams like battalions & regiment for their serial units while the USAF, USN, & USMC all use squadrons & wings almost exclusively.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if, as it is the spoiler topic, anyone had informations about the crimson corsair. Like who is he, what does he do exactly, etc. This character is really intriguing for me
Thanks ^^
