Jarek’s version captures the obvious color differences from the standard A-wing as well as structural and shaping differences as depicted in the animated TV series. A-wing Starfighter LEGO set released in 2016). The R22 A-wing prototype appears in Star Wars Rebels (and was part of the 75150 Vader’s TIE Advanced vs. This blue A-wing depicts the fighter as it was originally envisaged by designer Ralph McQuarrie and portrayed as part of Phoenix Squadron in Rebels (and as it might have appeared in Blue Squadron from Rogue One). The A-wing is Jarek’s all-time favorite Star Wars vehicle, and both in 2008 and now in 2018 he’s built a number of variations of the A-wing. The new version also has foldable landing gear, as this underside photo shows. Jarek says that his updated A-wing has better proportions than the 2008 version, with properly brick-built missile launchers. It’s always interesting to see how builders approach the same subject matter years apart, with improved building skills as well as access to new LEGO pieces. Fortunately, with a skilled pilot the A-Wing proves time and time again that you cannot kill what you cannot hit.It’s been more than 10 years since Jarek shared the first version of his LEGO A-wing, a sleek starfighter first seen in Return of the Jedi.
As a result, even a light blow can cause significant problems with the ship's systems. This caused the designers to wedge many miniaturized parts into a crowded hull. Although it was blindingly fast and quite maneuverable, maximizing speed meant minimizing size. This is not a finished model, this is a set of sheets of paper for cutting and assembling a.
It didn't take long for the fighter to fall almost entirely into the role of a hit-and-run (or, in the jargon of its pilots, 'hit-and-hype') fighter, a fortunate confluence of ability and necessity.

On the other hand, that same strength came in very handy when eluding the escorts of the same sort of convoys the A-Wing was originally envisioned to protect. The highly-trained Rebel Alliance pilots who fly them.
Originally intended as a convoy escort, it was quickly discovered that the A-Wing's primary characteristic – the incredible speeds its twin 'Event Horizon' engines were capable of pushing the small craft to – was overkill for escorting large, bulky, and slow freighters in convoy. The RZ-1 A-wing Interceptor is one of the fastest and most maneuverable starfighters in the galaxy. Instead of designing a poor ship for the right job as is so often the case, the R&D team responsible for this tiny snubfighter introduced an excellent fighter into the wrong role.
The A-Wing was, at its core, a happy mistake.
