Why the Resistance's ships are so damn lazy

Resistance is the Rebel Alliance that you get from Wish.

I mean the entire resistance is lazy...

I think it’s a shame that there are so few original new ship designs out of Star Wars now a days especially capital ships

"The Republic era Y-Wing was uncircumcised" Poetic

Leia Organa: "We need your help!" Everyone in the Galaxy: "We sleep." Lando Calrissian: "I need your help." Everyone in the Galaxy: "WE ARE ON OUR WAY, COMRADE!"

I’m never gonna get over the description of the republic Y-wing as “uncircumcised”. I’m never gonna unhear that. Thanks Eck

What bothers me is how underpowered the resistance was. Their predecessors, the alliance struggled to collect manpower and materials. That I can understand since it was a collection of cells unifying. But Leia formed this group as a paramilitary essentially. They should’ve had more from the get go. I’d even believe if they were a well funded branch of the new republic intelligence service instead.

In each of Prequel episodes we saw numerous of completely new ship designs, while in Sequel episodes it's the same TIE Fighters and X-Wings (slightly modified)

Even the in universe explanation is "remember when?" Lmao

The highlight of sequel ships: Tie-Dorito and the shoebox class transport.

I think we were robbed. Could have rolled out the E-Wing much earlier (or later depending on your point of view), made it the successor to the X-Wing, or at least made it a major presence in the Resistance Fleet, given us something new(ish), AND payed homage to Legends. It deserved more than the glorified cameo it got in Ashoka.

I always felt that star wars is in a very weird stage right now where theyre almost scared to to tell new stories in fear of alienating old fans or scaring away new fans. I'm probably wrong, but I feel like the stories really havent changed since I was a kid.

Me: Mum I want a rebel alliance. Mum: we have a rebel alliance at home Rebel alliance at home= resistance

The issue I always had was the ships never evolving despite it being around 2 decades after the OT. The leap in tech from WWII (which the OT was based around) to Vietnam was huge. And George designed ships in the PT to look like natural evolutions to what comes in the OT. In Star Wars the PT Y wings were covered since the republic was well funded. The rebels were using scraps so it made sense for them to look less new. In the ST only the X wing looked like a natural evolution with new engines at least. All other fighters even in the First Order were just reskins for the most part when neither the New Republic or First Order were lacking in funds to make ship upgrades. Demilitarizing the Republic was beyond dumb, and probably to make them weaker than they should have been and an excuse to have less new designs. But It especially doesn’t make sense for the First Order to not upgrade when the Empire lost the conflict and all they did was keep old designs.

JJ: why don’t I put in a TIE fighter Disney: TIE fighters already exist JJ: what if we put an antenna on it Disney: slaps table GENIUS

“The y wing was uncircumcised” that going into an eckhartsladder out of context compilation isn’t it?

my head cannon is that what disney is making the resistance Y-wing was created in the NR era more for sector forces who were used to using the old Y-wing but needed an updated model, while the true sequel to the y-wing is something like ec henry's design. Same for the b-wing

I can imagine that the same craft, at least upgraded versions, would still be in service. Jet fighters from the 1960s were in service in a number of second tier militaries up until recently, in particular the F-4 Phantom and MiG-21. Slightly newer fighters from the 70s and 80s are not only still in front line service, but with upgrades, aren't likely to go out of service any time soon, see the F-15, F-16, F-18, MiG-29, and the various Flanker variants. And don't even get me started on the B-52.

When they mean by key role in the battle of Endor They Really mean that one A wing responsible for 911ing into Vader’s SSD

I like Legends NR designs
