In a special video message from the set of Star Wars: Episode VII, director J.J. Abrams announces the creation of Star Wars: Force for Change, a brand new Star Wars initiative from Disney and Lucasfilm, in collaboration with Bad Robot, dedicated to finding creative solutions to some of the world's biggest problems. The first Star Wars: Force for Change campaign will raise funds and awareness for UNICEF's Innovation Labs and its innovative projects benefitting children in need. To support the launch of Star Wars: Force for Change, Disney has committed $1 million, and fans can now donate directly at http://bit.ly/ForceForChange for a chance to appear in Star Wars: Episode VII. By pledging as little as $10 through the Omaze fundraising platform, any eligible supporter will be automatically entered for a chance to win this once-in-a-lifetime experience. The campaign runs from 12:01am PST on May 21st until 11:59pm PST July 18th.



That's quite a reveal! We know that the Millennium Falcon will be back in Star Wars Episode VII, but the reveal of the X-wing starfighter is equally as exciting. What relevance do you guys think this will have to the plot f the movie? Be sure to sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!

its the original mcquarrie x wing, with a blue stripe. either its a one of a kind custom x wing flown by a main character, or like the recent rumored stormtrooper appearance changes, the x wings went through some subtle changes too

good call Badmuffin, i could see it wasn't an X-Wing, but didn't know what it was, it's definitely a lot closer to a z-95 (on research, more specifically a Z-95t which differs slightly from the standard Z-95) than an X-Wing

Grayson7954 - 7/21/2014, 6:37 AM
@badmuffin, headhunter has only two cannons, this clearly has four...

Question is why use a forty year old starship design? I was hoping for the Stealth X designs.

*cough*http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Z-95_Headhunter*cough*

it doesn't have the S foil of the X wing, unless that tube thing splits in half, i'd say it a Z-95 Headhunter Variant or Proto-X wing

I can accept the Falcon still being around because of Hans love for that hunk of junk. But the X-wings are still around? I was really hoping to see some new stuff, especially being set 30years after the events of ROTJ... sigh!!!!

My most aniticipated movie of all time possibly?

This is a Z-95 Headhunter. The nise is stubbier like a Z-95 and not as long as an X-Wing. Also X-Wings have 4 engines. This has 2, like a Z-95. There no S-Foils on this. Its just a single wing. There's no way that wing can split.

Also, Z-95's have been modified to have multiple guns on each wing. Some have even had 3 guns on each wing.

The evidence is overwhelming. Unless this is unfinished, its a Z-95.

So I'm guessing the Empire is intact? Rebel pilots, stormtroopers, etc.
