Star Wars Titanium Series B-Wing

Star Wars B-Wing Starfighter: Round and Round it goes

Presenting the Star Wars B-Wing Starfighter from the Titanium Series toyline.

This is the B-Wing Starfighter or A/SF-01 B-wing heavy assault starfighter, AKA Crosses. Supposedly when the craft is upright the B-Wing's outline makes a "B" shape, but we don't see it. The idea that the name comes from the fact that the wings look like blades, makes more sense.

At the core of the B-Wing is a special gyroscope that keeps the cockpit steady while the entire ship rotated around it. Piloting a B-Wing required a certain amount of skill.

Speaking of Blades, here's where the controversy begins: the traditional canon states that B-Wing Starfighters were developed by the Slay & Korpil corporation and were designed by - Gial "it's a trap" Ackbar - who was then a mere Commander. Star Wars Rebels recently rebuilt the history of the B-Wing by having it created by a mad-engineer named Quarrie on the planet Shantipole.

Star Wars A-Wing POTF

Presenting a Rebel Alliance A-Wing Starfighter from the Star Wars Power of the Force (POTF) 1997 toyline.

There is actually a bit of confusion with regard to what exactly is an A-Wing Starfighter as Kuat's Eta-5 Interceptors (Descendants of the ETA-2 Interceptors used by the Republic Jedi - which surprisingly we've never shot) used both by the New Jedi Order and the Galactic Alliance Defense Fleet is also referred to as an A-Wing. Further a plethora of book and game developers portrayed something that looked like an A-Wing before it's first and actual deployment during the Battle of Endor (Although the A-Wing was used by the Rebels in small raids prior to that).

The previous sightings of "A-Wings" prior to the Battle of Yavin were retconned as being R-22 Spearheads developed by Tammuz-an space navy. The R-22's carried less firepower, were not as fast nor as maneuverable and could carry two pilots.

Star Wars: Saesee Tiin's Jedi Star Fighter

Presenting from Star Wars: Saesee Tiin's Jedi Star Fighter. I found Saesee Tiin's Jedi Star Fighter while trawling the black market. It was complete, loose - with no stickers unfortunately, but the paint job well hid that fact. I purchased Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter for PhP 300 - a big steal considering that if you trawl the market now, despite the influx of this particular Star Fighter, you'd find it selling for around PhP 500 to PhP 600. A lot of people remember Jedi Master Saesee Tiin as either a member of the Jedi Council or one of the Jedi Masters who accompanied Jedi Master Windu when they went to arrest him. Jedi Master Saesee Tiin was cut down there by the emperor - he was the horny guy - the book version of the story gave him a longer fight than the movie did. In the book, Emperor Palpatine tricked Jedi Master Saesee Tiin into trying to use his  natural telepathic powers. Palpatine cut him down while he was distracted. A lot of people do not know that Jedi Master Saesee Tiin was a ace pilot and a member of the Jedi Starfighter Corp and one time commander of Red Squadron (Of no relation to Luke Skywalker's Red - and later Rogue - Squadron - just a nice coincidence). 

Which is why we are here.
