With one week left on the Star Wars: Force for Change initiative being championed by J.J. Abrams, a new video has been released. The video shows Abrams standing in front of what turns out to be an X-Wing from Star Wars: Episode VII.
The X-Wing looks a bit different and now has a blue paint scheme happening, as opposed to the red of the Rebellion. It will be interesting to see where this X-Wing fits organizationally…. as in, is it part of an official militia? Is it a personal X-Wing left over from a war? Does it still open into an X shape even though the wing doesn’t seem to accommodate this? And for those questioning if it is really an X-Wing, the Star Wars twitter account confirmed that yes it is:
@CDCanimation It is in fact an Episode VII X-wing, not a Z-95.
