I don't think that actually was in the movies. And I should know, because I watch them a lot.

I don't actually know if the still I posted is from the movie specifically, but it's from "Behind the Magic" which covers some of the changes they made in the Special Editions, one of which was adding a Sentinel-class shuttle flying over Mos Eisley. B.t.M. is the closest to a real source there is, so that's what I'm sticking with (and regardless of whether it's actually in the movie - and now I'm probably going to have to check - that's the best render of one that exists, it's by Lucasfilm, and it's over Cloud City).

I'm still pretty sure those were X-wings that Kota's Militia used. They looked like they had four wings, but maybe my eyes were tricking me. I don't know. I didn't look closely enought, but I'm almost sure those are X-wings, but this gets too far off-topic. This is gonna be a good mod though. :thumbs:.

As always, awesome work Mav on this. The Vanguard effect is the real kicker though as it's a nice new visual that can have later applications beyond what you made it for.


To clear some stuff up, the Sentinel does appear in the movies, its in the first Sandtrooper scene in the background, its the ship taking off in the back (the profile and Fin layout confirms its a Sentinel). I can't remember if it appears again in Mos Eisley.


There are also many variants of the z-95 Headhunter, so Mav has alot of leeway and creative licensing he can use. The later variants made by Income Corp are primitive X-Wings straight down to having 4 S-Foils and 4 Blaster Cannons in a Split configuration.

...and you thought I was done with units (I thought I was done with units). I decided not to cheap out on the space units, though, and made them unique too. Here are the four space-only(?) units:

TIE Pilot

Equipment: Commando Pistol, Fusion Cutter, Thermal Detonators

EVO Trooper

Equipment: Repeating Blaster Rifle, Shotgun (Charge), Rocket Launcher (Charge), Thermal Detonator

Equipment: ARC Caster (Charge), Fusion Cutter, Thermal Detonators

Kel Dor Commando

Equipment: Blaster Rifle, Dispensable Remote, Detpacks, Poison Detonators, Thermal Detonators

And no, the Kel Dor isn't supposed to look like Plo Koon, but if you want to get it out of your system feel free to rage about how he doesn't look like Plo Koon.

Dangit Mav! That Kel-Dor looks NOTHING like Plo Koon! :P
Looks awesome, Mav!

Well, the pilot looks like he has anger issues, but maybe that's just me. Nice work, Mav!

He looks really cool and I didn't even think he looked like Plo Koon until I read that sentence.

Very nice units, Mav. You could make the knees of EVO Trooper symmetrical but it looks awesome anyway. The TIE Pilot is a reskin of the AT-AT pilot, no?

The TIE Pilot is the only one that's not a reskin or new model at all; it's just the regular Imperial pilot. The other's are all (technically) new models (although the EVO trooper and Rebel Pilot are really just hexedited models).
And there's no symmetry, the original (SWBF2 trooper) model only has one kneepad.

That's the regular pilot face; he just has a rebreather mask on top of it.

Really? I can't seem to remember what the stock TIE Pilot looks like. Oh well. Anyway, Ace edited the Stormtrooper model for me awhile ago so that knees were symmetrical. Would you like to use it?
