Dave Filoni Has Enriched Star Wars Space Battles With This Subtle X-Wing Change
Dave Filoni introduced a subtle change to the X-wing in Ahsoka to enrich the space battles. These types of battles are some of the most exciting elements of Star Wars, from the first depiction of the X-wing team heading for the Death Star in A New Hope to Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting en route to General Grievous’s ship in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Since then, live-action television expansions of the Star Wars galaxy have continued the tradition of thrilling space battles, most notably with X-wings. The X-Wing is one of the most recognizable ships in Star Wars, after the Millennium Falcon and perhaps on par with the TIE fighters and their famous screams. Series creators like Filoni have included X-wings in shows like The Mandalorian and now Ahsoka, primarily to represent the New Republic. These X-wings haven’t had the chance to participate in too many space battles, mainly used for patrols and simple transport, but Filoni gives them a taste of the action in Ahsoka – with a subtle but great change.
Dave Filoni’s Star Wars Shows Are Giving A New Perspective On X-Wings
The X-wing is ready for action as its S-foils lock into attack position, as first shown in A New Hope. This was demonstrated from an external perspective, where the X-wings could be seen extending outside the ship. However, Filoni changed the position of this shot, instead keeping the camera inside the cockpit while the S-panel extended. This provides something close to a first-person perspective of what it’s like to be an X-wing pilot preparing for combat, and it also allows the focus to be on the pilots, rather than the ships themselves.
The Cockpit View Is An Exciting & Immersive One For Star Wars
Ever since the X-wing debuted, Star Wars viewers have wanted to imagine what it would mean to pilot one. This change of perspective by Filoni in episode 4 of Ahsoka gives viewers that opportunity, making the experience engaging even through the screen. A closer look at the action from a pilot’s perspective connects viewers more closely to these action-packed moments and gives them a taste of what it would be like to sit in the cockpit of an X-wing. how. Given the success of Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth and her team in launching to Grand Admiral Thrawn’s location, it’s likely that viewers will get the chance to witness a space battle from this perspective on Ahsoka. Captain Carson Teva will likely stay behind to help Hera and may even recruit others willing to go against orders to fight Thrawn. Getting an Episode 4-like view of Ahsoka from the X-wing’s cockpit will make for exciting combat, alongside allies who can join them along the way.
