New destroyer manages to be even less interesting from all angles than the slapped-together TFA destroyer. Didn't see that coming. New walker looks like a big old NERF launcher will fit nicely in the head. Hooray. New X/W is still terrible, with absurdly undersized wings, and engines that make no sense. New TIE...hahahaha...just kidding, silly - it's still the same TIE, just painted in a reverse colour scheme. Kylo's new TIE...looks like someone sat on a T/A from the TIE Fighter games.
I am continually stunned that the design work on this new trilogy continues to be so totally abysmal across the board. Not a single interesting silhouette, not a single interesting angle on any of these things. How has this group completely missed the rules Lucas set down for 6 movies? STRONG silhouettes; MULTIPLE appealing angles; designs that READ to an audience immediately. I mean, even if you hate the PT, you have to admit there are some terrific designs there - the Acclamator, the Republic SD, the AT-TE, all of the Naboo ships, the Eta-2s, just off the top of my head. The only appealing designs so far in 2 films of the new trilogy are the Falcon, the new X/W, and the FO TIE...soooo......yeah. Awkward.
