STAR WARS: EPISODE IX Newly Surfaced Set Photo May Confirm The Return Of A Familiar Spaceship
A first look at Star Wars: Episode IX should be with us by April, but a newly surfaced set photo may reveal a familiar ship from the past. Does that mean we're getting flashbacks to fill in some big gaps?
Star Wars: Episode IX recently wrapped shooting but that doesn't mean the leaks are over quite yet. As you can see below, a familiar ship has been spotted and despite Disney and Lucasfilm's best efforts to keep it hidden, that looks like Luke Skywalker's X-Wing!
The familiar red stripe is there and rumours are already swirling that we could get a flashback featuring a young version of the Jedi Master (possibly shedding some light on the night he decided to flee to Ahch-To or the fallout from that attack by the Knights of Ren). Either way, the last time we saw this ship, it was submerged underwater.
There is, of course, another possibility and that's a return to the Rebel base on Yavin. The X-Wing could be one of the old fleet that the Resistance come across during this adventure. Given how badly defeated they were in The Last Jedi, it's also possible the heroes are having to use old, outdated ships.
Either way, with a trailer and title reveal expected during Star Wars Celebration in April, we'll find out a whole lot more very soon...
