I really like that he made the wings folding, it would make sense on a "space aircraft carrier" sort of concept. And honestly, before I got to that part of the video, I was thinking those wingtips could be removed, Star Wars has never really shown aerodynamic designs to be very prevalent. EDIT: corrected a syntax error.

@@johns9652 Repulsolift technology makes aerodynamic lift irrelevant. Wings on Star Wars spacecraft are either there as structural elements (to support engines away from the main body, as on the B Wing) or for additional manouvrability in atmosphere.

@@SnoW-pk9zo Yeah well his design actually looks like something from star wars, the original looks like a mockup design.

I could have seen a ship like this during the reign of Darth Krayt and later the Triumvirate around 138 ABY. This asthetic favors well with the Pelleon Class Star Destroyer and E-Wing and T-85 X-Wing. Or even an advanced ship designed to fight the Yuuzan Vong. This might hold up well against a Coral Skipper or a Vong Worldship. But then again, after the "Vongforming" of Coruscant and obliteration of a fifth of the galaxy, it's doubtful anyone would have the money or expertise to create such a craft.

Not necessarily, but it's definitely a better Star Wars ship.

Gw G Ha ha ha couldn‘t agree more!

I actually think the sequel trilogy is a problem as well

haha I dont agree tho. There are many problems

I read this post exactly when he got to that part.

Honestly I can’t argue with that

I will respectfully disagree. He isn't arguing for a "Star Wars design language"... he just wanted to make the thing look like it came from the same company that designed the X-Wing. He starts out in the first two minutes stating that Star Wars doesn't have a set "design language" and shows a good half dozen examples.... then spends the rest of the video directly contradicting his opening. When you are talking about a vast fantasy galaxy with thousands of civilizations set light years apart from each other, an overarching design consistency / language is absurd on it's face. There is nothing consistent between a Nebula B Frigate vs a Naboo Royal Starship vs a Trade Federation Droid Ship vs a Lamba Class Shuttle that screams "these came from a similar schools of design / engineering" apart from maybe thruster thingies and windows. I'd have no issues with his approach if he actually did just state that "I wanted to make this look like it came from the same company that designed the X-Wing"... but to claim some deeper understanding of "Star Wars starship design language" where it's clear no common language exists is just... ridiculous. Sure, the rebels and Empire have their unique schools of design, which makes perfect sense... as they would have their own suppliers / designers / engineers / etc. But to claim some random design isn't "Star Wars enough" when it could have came from some barely encountered civilization in some far flung corner of the Outer Rim is just completely antithetical to what Star Wars is. Sure, the major players have their "design languages" but to speak for the entire galaxy? It's silly.

@@control_the_pet_population If you actually paid attention to what he said after the 1 minute mark, you'd understand why he contradicted himself; there is no standard design language, but there exists a sort of 'style' that most people will claim 'Oh, that's a Star Wars ship!' which is what Porshe and Lucasfilm *attempted* to do, but failed. Star Wars ships, to me at least, have an aura of rustic antiquity to them. Yes, there are outliers like the Naboo Royal Starship, but most ships in the series look old, with hard edges and 80s-esqe technofluff slapped onto them. Incom, Gozanti, CEC, the Mon Calla ships, and of course the Imperial ships by Kuat, they all share some similarities while not sticking to a strict 'code' of sorts. That's the whole point of the video, which you missed. If you put the original design next to a bunch of Star Wars designs, it looks out of place. You are right that it mostly looks like an Incom ship, but he could have chosen any other manufacturer to fit the aesthetic while keeping in mind the Star Wars style. "It looks like it belongs in Star Citizen" is bang on.

@@ilove401 We will agree to disagree. What you described is a "style" that is so vague as to be meaningless. Yes, there are areas where similarities exist. The rebels starfighters for instance are busier with the greebles, while the imperial designs are cleaner, more angular and geometric... and they each clearly convey the idea of common lineage.. But Kuat and Incom does not equal the Star Wars galaxy as a whole. So outside of those two warring factions / design schools, there just isn't anything holding vague notions of a "style" together. I stand by my original point, he wasn't trying to make it look like it belonged in Star Wars, he made it look like it belonged in the Incom showroom. Nothing wrong with that, besides one being an actual fresh take and the other being much more bland and derivative, but to each their own. Naboo ships look like Art Deco hood ornaments from the 1920s, Trade Federation with the spindly insect looking droid fighters have zero in common with anything else, that goofy prequel landing ship that Yoda flew around in... the one with the big glass gun turrets sticking out of the side... didn't share a lick of similarities with anything else... The Genosian solar sail ship that Dooku flew looked like something lifted directly from the pages of Dune and nothing else is Star Wars looked anything like it... the stolen "space yacht" from Last Jedi looked like it was kitbashed from the 1970s Buck Rogers starfighter... and this is just three minutes of rambling off the top of my head. None of those previous examples, with maybe the exception of the goofy prequel landing ship, had anything remotely designed to look "antiquated" or "rustic"... Again... he wanted to make it look like it was from the same design team that made the X-Wing... cool... but there is no overarching "Star Wars" style... designs shoot off into weird tangents every time we are introduced to a new civilization... and I hope it stays that way.

@@control_the_pet_population Again, as with what EC said in the video, the original Porsche design looks to 'futuristic'. Another way of thinking about it would probably be trying to come up with a ship design if you were sent back to the 1970s. Times have changed, but the aesthetic of Star Wars remains largely the same. Agree to disagree, sure. It's a big galaxy, but ironically, the ship Porsche designed looks like it belongs in a completely different galaxy. I think EC's design wasn't just 'copying Incom', it (for me) incorporated the Star Wars aesthetic a lot better just in general.

@ilove I just find that line of thinking so limiting for a vast fantasy universe. Here on boring old Earth, our automobile and aircraft designs have advanced quite a bit since the 1970s ... There has clearly been an evolution, correct? Why wouldn't or couldn't the same hold true in the SW galaxy? Just from a simple lore perspective, having the original Porsche design being an Incom product is something I would find much more interesting... the team that designed the original X-Wing in 15 BBY is long since retired... and a new team with new advancements and a new approach has been brought on board. "It needs X-wing engine pods to look more Star Warsy" is boring in my opinion.

lol

Like your profile pic

to be fair, that one guy has been working on star wars themed designs for years. :P

To be fair, he was working off the model they spent 6 weeks working on.

"Too many cooks..."

Their design looks like a Star Citizen craft, which made me eye twitch.

Pretty much agree. Current design were more like startrek's. the new redesign were closer to starwar's design. though i prefer if the nose were a bit longer, and the cockpit a bit slimmer. love the engine and overall design.

@@ThatConfused1 Yeah it fits right in with SC, and EC Henry's design also works better from a piloting perspective. The Canopy drove me nuts on the original and mentioned that on a rather lengthy critique there. His one is much better for visibility, both since there are no obstructive elements on the frame, as well as the Cockpit being place higher in the Aircraft. The seating position of the original is very low, which is seen as a good position in a sports car, but is horrible in a fighter, because it limits vision into all directions. And the windscreen is not as steeply inclined, reducing glare, especially from the instrument panel, and visual distortion. Still don't like the front end, there is a reason why pretty much all fighters, including those in star wars have a tapered front end.....and that is drag. This design still has a bit too much frontal area, but overall it works much better and looks star wars. It also makes more sense, that light grey is visible but not as much as the bare metal look of the original. When the B-17s and P-51Ds flew bare metal at the end of WW2, the glare off them could be seen, on a good day, for about 150 km (roughly 80-ish nautical miles or 93-ish statute miles.) That is generally a huge tactical disadvantage and the USAAF only did it n the late war, because they wanted draw the Luftwaffe out, to fight them. The Luftwaffe then was mainly ill trained young pilots of under 100 hours before combat, even less than 50 sometimes down to 20 hours of flight time before their first combat mission, going up against well trained US pilots with often 200-400 hours before their first combat. So to the USAAF it made sense, to a small rebel force, it does not.

I like both designs, but don't agree that one is 'more' Star Wars than the other.

@woollimy yeah I'm thinking the same. Not a single point of what he is talking made sense to me besides the point that the ship doesn't look like Porsche. But that's all.

As another comment pointed out, this ship looks like a mandalorian-esque starfighter or a luxury cruiser you'd find on a casino planet.

@nefarious gremlin You should have seen his Resistance B-Wing and New Republic Y-Wing designs along with his First Order TIE bomber, They're all badass

@@VelocityFilmsCO I would buy it. ANd I didn't even notice there WAS an astromech until EC Henry said there was one

who cares?

I think they're both great designs. Obviously EC's has a much more Star War(sy?) feel to it. But that doesn't make it an inherently superior ship. The original design is a work of art in it's own perspective. They're both made by talented people, and are great ships in their own right. The original keeps an extremely overtly sci-fi feel, and it maintains the base design that EC uses. If it was bad, so is EC's. EC took said design and made it appropriate for Star Wars, on the other hand the original design would be better suited for other Sci-fi series. I can't really argue with you on opinion, but know this; They're both great designs, and I feel like you, and people like you have this really childish; "we hate big company" mindset. Apologies if that assumption is wrong.

Absolutely yes. He's exactly right that if I saw the Porche ship whitout somebody telling me what it was, the only way I would realize it was supposed to be from StarWars would be the astromech, but his design is *instantly* recognizable as being from StarWars, even without the astromech no one needs to tell me, I just know by looking at it.

Lucasfilm is unfortunately run by people who look at it for profit. They aren't truly excited or invested in the universe they are tasked with caretaking beyond that. That is the reason why someone like EC Henry likely won't ever be approached by today's Lucasfilm, and why we ended up with a very non-Star Wars design in the first place.

You and or Fractal Sponge.

I heartily agree. Too much vehicle design in Disney Star Wars has been purely derivative and disappointingly unimaginative, without any innovations like the original Lucasfilm used to crank out with every new episode. Prequels included!! Disney needs people who understand Star Wars.

@@Noone-of-your-Business This is precisely why Filoni and Favreau make the Mandalorian work.

People have been saying that Lucasfilm blatantly plagiarise Star Wars fan's art work. So just because Lucasfilm don't hire or pay EC Henry for his designs doesn't mean Lucasfilm won't incorporate his designs into canon.

Well, he made it "fit" into the Incom universe not the Star Wars universe as a whole. Star Wars is a vast fictional galaxy with thousands of civilizations that none of us have ever seen because they haven't been written yet. He just took the thing and made it look like it came from the X-Wing design team. I find it dull to be honest. The original ship could potentially come from some rarely seen civilization with their own approach using design details that fans had never seen before... seems pretty obvious that different ways of doing things would be expected in such a vast galaxy... But nope, it's a "fix" that essentially boils down to "Star Wars design language = X-Wing". I generally like his work, but this one is just so much less interesting overall than the original design.

Whereas the X, U, and Y are like an old Ford F-series, a Toyota 4 Runner, and maybe Chevrolet Suburban of fighters. Utilitarian, beat, and boxy. Why not throw some sleekness in there?

@@autofixation actually in fairness the X wing is Ford Falcon, U wing is Ford Econoline and the Y Wing is the F150. The A wing is the Shelby Cobra.

And eroded paint accents. Wear and tear makes a Star Wars ship as much as anything, which is why Amidala's ship in Episode 1 was such a noted departure.

@@MonkeyJedi99 Well, that ship does have connections to the royal Family of Naboo so I’d doubt that the Royal Family would let the paint to wear and the outside of it to crumble. Not everything in the Star Wars universe has to look like it hasn’t been to the shop in 20 years. That sort of design I feel is left to the Rebels, Pirates, and really any others who don’t want to take care of their ship because a clean ship doesn’t have any use to them.

@@JustANervousWreck For reference to the "used aesthetic", I would refer you to the external surfaces an any past and modern spacecraft after only one re-entry. The majority of them have not gotten out beyond the Van Allen belt protections, though they have ballistic re-entries. I think the two balance, in the realm of wear, with interstellar travel (even with shielding) and controlled repulsor-lift re-entry. - The lack of atmospheric and spatial wear on the Naboo royal ship(s) is what made them stand out as "hoity-toity" fancy.

@@MonkeyJedi99 they managed to invent space travel through another dimension, I'm pretty sure they can keep their ships clean during reentry

Cockpit scale. That's a one-man snubfighter, not a three-crew strike craft.

It should be flat with a greebly surface. 4) Clip off the "tail" wedge end.

@@hw2577 The front of the engine should have an intake grill of some kind.

Actually with a slight elevation behind the pilot, we would be looking at a vague ARC 170 minus the 3rd crew member. It's got potential, perhaps a Fel Empire or even Darth Krayt (130 ABY or so) or even a good fit for a fast gunboat for fighting coral skippers of the Yuuzan Vong. I know legends territory but still.... It's an awesome design for perhaps a later age of Star Wars at least a century after Yavin.

He increased the profile when viewed from the top or bottom, leaving this ship more vulnerable to point defense and other fighters, especially when hunted from behind (turning to shake them off would expose the large profile). From an in-universe perspective, I would rather be flying the Porsche ship, even if it doesn't fit in as well.

@@darjanator Thing is its not a BAD design, I could see Incom making it, we know they can make sleek and stylish stuff. Look at the Clone Wars Y-Wing for example.

They'd probably strip anything off them they didn't need to produce a bare bones, but very effective craft. The Porsche ship is possibly what Incom COULD do, if you had the credits and needed to make a ship that was both effective, modern and sleek. Instead of easy to maintain, cheap to build, rugged and effective. Its like comparing an Italian Sports car to a good old Toyota Pickup Truck.

@@sentrysapper45 I've been hearing about that. It's unforgettable as far as I'm concerned.

Lol, the fact is if this design appeared in a film fans would deride it as being unoriginal and derivative, just like they have done for several recent designs that entirely logically were meant to resemble older SW ships. Now if you go the other way in do something unique and different your still going to be shit on, just for an entirely different reason. I dont thing Henry would ever want to officially design for the franchise, the "fans" are as likely as not going to turn on him with the same self destructive ignorant rage they have been directing at the franchise for years.

To me, it looks like it would be right at home next to the Mandalorians ship.

Hahaha. Am I the only one who got this joke?

Honestly, it could actually work with more minor modifications than EC Henry's... if it were being designed as a fighter for Naboo. Naboo values the artistic quality of their vessels. Swap the engines out for Naboo's preferred aerospike style ones, smooth out the parts a bit, give it the N-1's frontal chrome appearance... You get the point.

Not to knock Canto Bight, I like how the aesthetic clashes with the rest of the galaxy because most ships are rougher and more utilitarian to convey the dystopia of the SW universe while Canto Bight ships are gaudy and flashy, which conveys how out-of-touch Canto Bight is with the rest of the galaxy.

I mean, at least its not a clown ca... I mean, CLOUD car.

Diego Grajeda more like retro futuristic, and I love that aesthetic

im definately nit picking but there is still a distinct lack of Y-wing

@@kobaltmyst8074 I disagree, the blocky head of the ship and exposed nacelles make it quite clearly reminiscent of one. Much more so than the Porsche design too!

@@kobaltmyst8074 The way the nose is shaped is very Y-Wing, imo.

I really like the EC version. It would make a great replacement for the Y-wing as a dedicated heavy bomber. I like the pilot aramgent with a side by side seating like an A-6 Intruder. Make it an assault bomber with Electronic warfare variations. also I like it going without an Astromech droid since it has a dedicated onboard computer. All you need now are E-wings. also I need to point out it should not look like a Y-Wing since its an Incom design and Y-Wings are not made by Incom.

Sometimes too many people on a project can really cloud the design flow. Very strange comparison that might seem out of place. Factorio. It's a game about making factories. Get a bunch of friends to join and you find out real quick that not everybody thinks the same way or plans ahead. Play solo, you can very easily plan out and project your ideas in a single fluid design.

I think the issue tends to be people are jiust assigned to "DESIGN THIS SHIT OR YOU LOSE YOUR JOB" rather then someone who acutally really wants to do it

I think they were trying to emulate the kitbashing used to create the original star wars models.

There's nothing wrong with the cut-out part of the process. However, I think you do have a point about them mixing too many styles.

It's design by committee and to "make everyone feel good" rather than designing by the clear vision of a single or small group of people. American corporate culture is toxic shit and most of the things they create are sub-par garbage.

Yeah, what the heck with the name "tri-wing"?

That's what I was thinking as well. It's not like every ship in StarWars hast the classic "ratty" look to it

It think it still looks out of place in the prequels, lots of the prequel ships (i.e. the Naboo ships) are a lot sleeker and more curved, the engines and the front of the ship on this look way more Star Trek than Star Wars and the matt grey and thin sharp plates just look like generic futuristic aircraft concept art. Maybe the style would fit in with sequel-era ships (looks kind of like some of the Canto Bight stuff) but sadly we didn't see much of them, but when I look at the Porsche design I don't see prequel or OT style.

@@thomaskennydrums true, maybe Mandalorian universe, old republic, pre OT or as u said, sequel. I said the design fits in prequels cus i was imagining if the ship was colored it looks like something Fett would use, or maybe the separatists or citizens of coruscant, perhaps even in clone wars or used in tattooine for racing.

not... really. Maybe it fits some specific obscure company or planet, but definitely not the Grand army of the republic, naboo or the separatists (although maybe it fits the seppies a bit, but i'd say not)

I kind of disagree, it got too many intricate geometries.

Hey I know you.

of course, hollywood is copy waste.

all the young movie-magic creators used to be in Hollywood, now they're here & hollywood struggles more each day to keep up.

Not all of Hollywood.. it's mostly the soulless drones at Disney that have no hearts left that pour their misguided ineptitude into it

Well in Hollywood, the board has final say on anything these days. And the board doesn't even know what they are looking at.

I work in the industry. It’s not us, it’s these soulless companies calling the shots. We have almost zero creative control nowadays. It’s whatever the suits above us demand.

That's the understatement of the year

Because they do. *True* fans (I say true because the term fan has become so meaningless and light in the modern era) always tend to know more about the franchise than corporate schmucks who only see it as a way to make money. This is why official products designed by actual fans instead of some random big-name Hollywood person tend to be better than the other products. i.e. the live-action Bumblebee movie compared to the later Bayverse movies.

@@CryosisOfficial You mean earlier bayverse movies? Bumblebee wasn't released until 2019 and the Bayformers films were going from 2007-2017

@@tracytron7162 I meant later as in the later Bayverse releases, the first one was pretty good and then it sort of gradually declined in quality.

@@CryosisOfficial Oh ok, gotcha

Hey if I'd be a Star Wars character I'd cruise around in the EC (Henry) Wing. It is one of the better design to come out of Star Wars besides the classics like the X Wing or Falcon also while it still has the feel of a fighter you can at least fit 3 person's in it. This ship is awesome and sadly not even part of the movies, or the canon at all

Nope. Not everyone else.

Not really. I think the Porche's aesthetics could fit in as an imperial vehicle, but is clashing because it has a Rebel ship thrown in it. Henry made it more Rebel looking, so it looks even weirder, but still more Star Wars

The fixed version looks like a modified U-Wing

Absolutely yes. He's exactly right that if I saw the Porche ship whitout somebody telling me what it was, the only way I would realize it was supposed to be from StarWars would be the astromech, but his design is instantly recognizable as being from StarWars, even without the astromech no one needs to tell me, I just know by looking at it.

Also a lot more Porsche oddly enough

Lol you're not wrong

It's from Alderaan, it fits with that planets aesthetic.

In what episode did you see it?

@@fabianoperes2155 In the first episode, just when Leia was ship-gazing in the woods

@@Tazirai Good point, their speeders and transports have a similar appearance. Looking at it as (canonically) an Incom ship tho, I don't really get the same feeling I get with EC Henry's lovely design

Oh it's lovely looking ship, no question. Like you said though, it just doesn't look like a Star Wars ship

Fits much better in something like Star Citizen

It looks like it belongs in Star Trek or Star Citizen to me.

If you beat it up a bit it’ll probably look okay lol
