Retconning Dreadnaught into ROTJ? (HD screencap)

[Noble713]

I know the topic of identifying the various blurry background ships in the rebel fleet has been mentioned frequently, but I think I have some clearer evidence to contribute:

That has damn-near the same profile as the common depiction of the Rendili Dreadnaught IMO. Retcon worthy? How would one go about that anyway? My finger isn't exactly on the pulse of SW canon procedures and power-players.

The front part could pass, but definitely not the rear.

Do you have a larger image to put it into context? It clearly is not a Invincible-class. Too elongated. It looks Mon Calamari, a bit like a squashed wingless cruiser or Home One-class.

That actually looks a bit like a Bulk Cruiser

Oops. Just noticing I gave the wrong link to the full-size pic in the OP.

It's from the scene when the Rebel fleet makes the jump to hyperspace.

The front part could pass, but definitely not the rear.

The rear looks more like the depiction from XvT/Xwing Alliance, with its flattened and slightly angled engines. Wouldn't be the first time a ship's styling has gone through different iterations though (Nebula-class SD, anyone?).

I meant wider-angle or zoomed out enough to see its size relative to other ships, if possible. EDIT: Oh, thanks. It's pretty obviously a kitbash using the head of the rebel transport, but it likely isn't a Dreadnaught.

Dreadnaughts have been consistently drawn since WEG first created them, in terms of general lines. The Nebula was drawn inconsistently, but it first appeared in text. However, I've heard that the Dreadnaught was based on some concept art. This may be related to that concept art as well.

If anything, the ship to the left of the mentioned ship looks more like the depiction of the Dreadnaught.

Added the GR75 and an actual Dreadnaught to the picture. Comparing to the kitbashes, they look similar, but the "Dreadnaught" is still somewhat unique. Maybe it's made by one of the local manufacturers mentioned in the AOTC:ICS?
