Star Wars Rebels - origin of B-Wing

[spoons]

Anyone watching series 2 of Star Wars Rebels?

I've been really impressed, particularly with the B-Wing origin story this week.

It was original trilogy good!

Yeah I watched it with my son, the 'Blade' wing was awesome and I never realised they packed so much fire power. Wasn't too fussed on the colour though

We watch it S a family too. Big event each week - and I liked the orange

 

[tiefighterboy]

Loved it and Yes...I watch every episode.

I only recently watched the clone wars series - a few duds but some great episodes

Anakin is so much better than Hayden and it helps to know the back story for Rex and Asohka in Rebels

If you start the prequels at about 1/2 through season 1 of TCW and end at ROTS it's so much better.


The origin of the bwing is that the A wing was originally known as A fighter ship and the B wing as B fighter ship. The A wing sort of looked like a Capital A and was hence named. The B wing (which looks very little like a lower case b from 3 miles away, in the dark and with a squint) was called after the inventor Bill George, Bill-wing then eventually B-wing

You just have watched a different episode Rich - the B Wing was invented by a fat mon calamari on a remote planet out of sight of the empire
