It wouldn't be Star Wars without ships, speeders and transportation vehicles, and you can find several, built at full scale, throughout the landscape of Batuu.


A-wing Starfighter

Location: Resistance Mobile Command Post

With its sleek arrowhead shape, streamlined cockpit and massive twin engines, the A-wing suggests raw speed. Used first by the Rebel Alliance and now the Resistance, it is well suited for quick strikes.

First Order TIE echelon

Location: Docking Bay 9 (First Order Encampment)

A new assault vehicle in the TIE (twin ion engine) series, this echelon shuttle is used by the First Order mainly for small troop and cargo transport.

Landspeeders

Location: Black Spire Station

There are two models of speeders in for repairs in the garage at Black Spire Station: an X-34 model, similar to one Luke Skywalker uses in “Star Wars: A New Hope,” and a Jakku speeder, built from scavenged parts.

Millennium Falcon

Location: Spaceport

Once flown by iconic smuggler Han Solo and his Wookiee first mate, Chewbacca, the Millennium Falcon is sometimes lovingly referred to as “the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.” The YT-1300 Corellian freighter is currently being loaned to Hondo Ohnaka, the former pirate who owns and operates Ohnaka Transport Solutions.

Sienar-Chall Utilipede-Transport

Location: Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo

Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs uses this modified shuttle as a mobile kitchen and restaurant, jumping from one planet to the next as a “traveling diner for diners traveling.” It is currently atop Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, turning the hangar into a dining establishment in Black Spire Outpost.

X-wing Starfighter

Location: Resistance Mobile Command Post

A versatile ship balancing speed and firepower, the X-wing is a nimble starfighter used in dogfights first by the Rebel Alliance and now the Resistance. Its name comes from the “X” its four wings create when they’re locked in attack position.

Her stoic personality is the result of poor directors who don't know how direct a strong female character without portraying one as personality less, bland, dull person, with no emotions. They (various directors) do this constantly now

Except Luke was not introduced to mass audiences in Return of the Jedi. The movie's first 40 minutes are the end of the previous film. And RotJ Luke is also my least favourite Luke.

Funny thing is the several times I rode Hondo was working perfect, but his droid was either still, or simply turning his head. It wasn't until the last time that I got to see how animated he could be.

If you only knew Luke from "Return of the Jedi" one might think similarly.

Confirmed! Galaxy's Edge to get fountain powered by the broken dreams of fans!

Hondo was there and working 2 weeks ago. That's the newest information I have.

I respect your opinion. I also love Andor. Rouge One is my favorite SW film so I was immediately in love with Andor, the production value doesn't hurt either though.

I tried watching the cartoons, but the characters and writing just seemed like it was aimed at children. And for good reason, because it was. But I watched about 15 episodes and stopped because it felt like homework. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. The problem I had with all of the cartoon characters in Clone Wars was that they never gave the general audience a reason to care about these characters. Fanbois were excited to see Ahsoka and the lady Mando, but if you were just meeting these characters in their live-action debut, you just didn't care. Andor did far more. You don't need to watch Rogue One to enjoy Andor, it just is fantastic and features really great writing/directing/acting. You can't rely on previous stories, especially ones that were aimed at small audiences, to do the legwork for characters.

Ahsoka is my favorite SW character so I guess I’m a little biased, but I think her “stoic” personality is the result of the tragic events of the Clone Wars & Rebels. The siege of mandalore and how it leads into Order 66 is some of the best storytelling in all of Star Wars. I highly recommend watching the animated shows

I actually liked Hondo’s inclusion. Is he actually there again or no?

Professortango13 days ago

He's more known, however most of us who didn't watch the cartoons don't know either one. She showed up in Mando and I thought it was some terrible character they created to give Rosario a cameo like Jack Black. At least JB had personality. She was bland as Old Spaghetti Factory bread.

I don’t know if I would say Ahsoka is “unknown”. Way more popular than Hondo and they chose him to headline one of the Galaxy’s Edge attractions

Replacing Hondo with another unknown character from the cartoons?

Mike S3 days ago

Yes, but why Ashoka specifically. If it’s just some kind of test surely they’d just need the bare minimum and no extra fluff like someone’s specific characteristics.
