Saw this earlier, those ARC engine-glows make me think of the SE approach to the Death Star in ANH.

I hope Lawrence Holland makes a new star wars simulater game with those new ships.

I was hoping we'd get to see V-19 Torrent fighters in the battle, as background elements at least if not included in the storyline. I guess the chances of that happening is getting less and less which every leaked screencap.

That battle scene screencap is awesome, though.

I've seen that Tank Droid before, I believe... in the ORIGINAL guide to Vehicles and Vessels, I think. However, I don't have it on hand.

There´s said to be holograms and viewscreens showing many battles in the Separatist war room on Mustafar, maybe we´ll get lucky and see some (*grasping at straws*). Will be a good place for cameos, anyway.

Wow, that's an awesome screenshot. Question: what is that ship at the left hand side, past the last separatist cruiser?

VT-16 · Post by **VT-16** » 2004-11-26 04:36am

There are a couple of unknowns there, I have no idea about the far left ship (with three or four engines along the sides) or the one in the lower left (with the main hull cut down halfway along the ship, you see a ship of this type in one of the bookcovers as well). I´m fairly certain they´re Separatist ships, though.

The Banking Clan cruisers are in large numbers and easy to identify (take a rebel transport, paint it dark grey, add wings and a command tower above and below the main hull)

Grievous´"Invisible Hand" is the centre ship, with a tall tower at the back, and a small tower directly below the main hull (said to be the General´s Quarters).

And the Trade Fed. battleships have blue stripes. (One is on the bottom centre of this pic.)

There´s also Trade Fed. droid fighters (with a possible color-change) attacking the ARC-squad (which is lead by two "Jedi TIEs").

Is there any guessestimation of scale on these ships yet?

We could come up with a pretty good one of the Venator based on Anakin's fly-by of the guns as they fire, couldn't we?

My response to the Battle of Coruscant pic, ala Cartman...

"Sweet."

You must be mistaking it with something else. There is a "tank droid" in the original EGtVV, but it's basically a turbolaser tower with tank treads from the Imperial Civil War era, specifically appearing in Dark Empire. It looks nothing like the Corporate Alliance Tank Droid.

This is the latest image that spoilerrific has released. General Grievous' flagship can be seen to the left (just above the Trade Federation battleship).

That's an awesome shot, but I have to echo what others have said about not being too thrilled that they are all bunched up like that...

For you people with Hyperspace, go there and check out this week's Before the Helmet. It rocks!

Ahem!

Monster tank.

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday -- the Grand Army of the Republic lets loose with ten wheels of supercharged destruction as they shake hands with twisted metal carnage on the banks of a Kashykk lagoon! Be there!

Juggernauts rule.

I haven´t got the pic, no Siree... *hinthint...*

I didn't even dare mentioning it by name above

. I'm very glad to see yet an other unused OT design in the PT, as I'm not that keen on Doug Chiangs' designs.

VT-16 · Post by **VT-16** » 2004-12-03 02:08pm

I´m just happy to see more Imperial gear in the movies, so sick and tired of TV or movie sci-fi where every single faction uses one type of ship or just one type of tank and stuff. Nice with some diversity!

President Sharky · Post by **President Sharky** » 2004-12-03 05:36pm

Heaven forbid that this Juggernaught pic should arrive at danielbalint at sympatico. ca. I would have to personally send LFL a letter of complaint if such a horrid thing happened.
