Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer Breakdown - 25 Things You Need To See

12. X-Wings

OK, what's going to get most people about this shot is the return of the X-Wings. Skimming the surface of the new planet's lake, they make a pretty striking entrance. These aren't exactly the same as the ships from the originals, however (as leaks had already revealed) - the S-foils are noticeably thinner. Also note the blue stripes down the side, contrasting with the original movies' red. Is it just a different squadron, or has the New Republic had a bit of re-branding?
