New Kylo Ren ship revealed

May 17th, 2017 by Marc Comments

 

AN image of Kylo Ren’s new ship in Star Wars: The Last Jedi has appeared online.

The image, above, is somewhat similar in appearance to the TIE Interceptors used by the Empire in the original trilogy.

A description from the retailer reads: “[Kylo’s] new TIE has pointed wings like the TIE Interceptor but with a pill-shaped body. The cockpit is sort of like an old B-29 bomber compared to the classic TIE cockpit window.

“The thrusters in the back remind me of the Falcon as they glow blue and sort of evoke the Falcon. The custom ship was supposedly made to his specifications so he could take down the Resistance and I believe we see Kylo fly from the Mega Destroyer in his new ship.”

Talking of ships, we’ve also gotten a clearer look of a vessel we caught a glimpse off in the last trailer.
The A-Wing first appeared in Return of the Jedi but a book called IncrediBuilds reveals a clearer image of what we’ll see in Rian Johnson’s forthcoming film.
The cover of the book (see below) features an almost complete top view of the fighter showing off its similarities and differences from the original version.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens on 15 December.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
