Welcome to the Legion!

With every new Star Wars movie, there has to be some new aliens, new troopers, and new ships. This isn’t a complaint. I’m actually excited. (New merch, yo!) Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the latest installment in the Star Wars franchise, has a new ship for the film. Readers, behold! The U-Wing Fighter!

“The U-Wing is a new ship in the Star Wars universe,” Matt Martin, Creative Executive of the Lucasfilm Story Group revealed. “It’s a troop transport and gunship. So it’s there to bring in rebel troops to heavy fire zones and get out as quickly as possible…The wings move depending on the situation and it’s there to both drop off troops and provide air support.”

Take a look at some pictures below. For full coverage, check out StarWars.com’s The Star Wars Show, with special guest “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is set for release on December 16, 2016.
