I don't care what anyone says, the fact that the Resistance and the First Order are using SLIGHTLY modified X-Wings and TIE Fighters 30 years after the Galactic Civil War bugs me. Let me put it to you this way: Do you still see people in the Air Force flying around in Sopwith Camels? No. Because they're old and vastly inferior to what we have now.

    They are technically different models, not slightly modified old ones.

    Maybe. Changes are visible in the new X-Wings, and the Special Forces TIE Fighters now have hyperspace capabilities, but the basic TIEs seem more or less the same, with a new coat of paint. And the X-Wings don't seem to have any real difference aside from the longer nose and split engines. Maybe the cross-section book reveals more real changes, though.

    even if they are slightly different models there should be more things that were either added on or a complete overall design. It bugs me too. if you look at our society, Alot has changed in 30 years. with planes, choppers, drones and cars. but here its like 3 days past return of the jedi technology wise of course lol

    I agree even in episode 3 REVENGE OF THE SITH the Jedi Interceptors hardly change into Tie Fighters in that span between the Republic and the Empire.

    Keep in mind though that in ANH, at the beginning of the rebellion, they are using Y-Wings, which even then were ridiculously old because it was all they could scrounge up. The X-wings at the time were all but brand new because the company that made them defected to the rebellion. So to see them 30 years later isn't that huge of a stretch. My only question is why was it ONLY X-wings. /nerdrant

    It kind of bothers me, too. But it's more than likely that they have changed a lot on the interior of their craft rather than the exterior.

    Another explanation would be that it's the result of military surplus on both sides from the Galactic Civil War.
