J.J. Abrams Reveals What a Star Wars Episode VII X-Wing Looks Like
J.J. Abrams saves the best news about things that won't suck in Star Wars Episode VII for his charity videos. The first time he put out the word about the UNICEF-benefitting Force for Change, he showed us a creature built with practical effects. Now, breathe another sigh of relief as you get look at this X-Wing.
Although some fans thought it looked like a Z-95 Headhunter, the official Star Wars Twitter account confirmed the ship you're seeing here is a new iteration of the most famous rebel fighter. (Cue the sound of thousands of lightsabers retracting simultaneously.)
@CDCanimation It is in fact an Episode VII X-wing, not a Z-95.

Earlier leaks from the set also indicated that Han Solo's Millennium Falcon, a one-of-a-kind modified Corellian light freighter, would also be making an appearance in Disney's first Star Wars sequel.
So far, so good.
