--- Quote from: Neko_Ali on 15 Aug 2014, 11:12 ---I expect that the Empire splintered and the Rebels would have to keep fighting. I mean, people are not just going to turn over power if they've been lording it over the locals for years. But the suggestion is that the back of the Empire was broken at the Battle of Endor. Now some decades later, X-wings are still beat up junkers, while Stormtroopers have new, even shinier and slicker armor suggests to me that nothing really has changed in the decades since Endor.

IIRC, at the end of the Yuutzang Vong War, the New Republic that the Rebels founded a few years after the Emperor's death collapsed and was replaced by the Galactic Alliance, which had elements of the Empire (including an ex-Imperial Admiral as the Chief of State). By the point we reach The Force Awakens, therefore, something resembling the Empire is on the rise again, although it is no longer Sith-dominated.
It makes sense that the T-41 X-Wing, a design that is over 30 years old, is approaching or passed obsolescence in front-line terms. So would have the original TIE.f TIE Fighter. However, I have no doubt that private operators and the national guards of extreme Rim systems would still use them and consider them their top-performing vehicles.
That's assuming that Lucas and Abrams don't retcon the entire EU out of existence. I've got to say that this sounds more likely.
LeeC:
The trailer just raises more questions! :-D
Edguy:
So, how about the lightsaber with laser arm guards? Am I alone in thinking that looks pretty silly?

Actually, I don't think that's an X-Wing at all. IMO, it's one of the predecessor type, the Z-95 Headhunter. If so, the fans will go wild; they never forgave Lucus for using that ridiculous two-seat six-foil heavy fighter instead of the Headhunter in Revenge of the Sith.
