FrozenPhoenix32 yep So how bout them E-Wings? Personally I dont think theyd have a chance against an XJ3 No way. I don't really like the E-wings. I understand that it doesn't make much sense to go through all those great starfighter designs in the prequel trilogy and Clone Wars, then have one that hangs around upopposed for thirty years, but the E-wing just isn't as cool as the X-wing.
Plus, it was rushed into production before it was ready, and there are a number of flaws with the blasters. The R7 droids only work with E-wings, and E-wings are almost useless without R7s. That was eventually changed, though. On the other hand, the X-wing was good and only got better.
Of course, out-of-universe, the guys at Lucasbooks put all those flaws into the E-wing to give the X-wing an excuse to stay, even though it should have been replaced after such a long lifespan.

FrozenPhoenix32 plus the fact that the E wing didnt have s-foils, only two lasers, i think. Anakin Solo did get a R7 to work with an XJ though. howsa bout K-Wing bombers ? Three lasers, actually, one on each wing and one over the cockpit. Another thing, looking at the art of the E-wing in the New Essential Guide, it reminds me of a shuttlebus, or a monorail, or something along the lines of mass transit, rather than a maneuverable starfighter.
K-wings are different. K-wings filled a needed niche, rather than replacing a successful craft. Bombing had always been a secondary role for Y-wings, and unlike X-wings, those were becoming quickly outdated. The B-wing and the K-wing split the Y-wing's duties between them. It's a shame the K-wing was never seen in more than one trilogy.
