The imperial equivalent would appear to be a TIE Reaper, also something of a troop transport.

The U-Wing gave me Vietnam Huey vibes, probably intended, seeing how the movie aims hard for the 70s Star Wars look and feel.

I hate that videogame cutscenes are more interesting than the current Star Wars films.  :(

That trailer reminds me of the Clone Wars show  :)

Awesome little movie. At this point, I don't even care if the game sucks if they keep putting out content like this.  :lol:

They got help from pros:
QuoteMade in collaboration by Motive Studios, Lucasfilm, and ILM, "Hunted" is set before the events of STAR WARS: Squadrons, introducing you to one of the ace pilots who you'll be fighting alongside in the story to unfold.

OT, but I feel like that's because cutscenes are more utilitarian than standard filmmaking- they're really there just to segue into different level designs. We don't worry as much about motivation or plausible deniability because we're already in the PC's head providing that motivation ourselves. That's where the Disney trilogy and Solo got bogged down- they buckled under the weight/pressure of constant callbacks to tie themselves back to the original trilogy's characters; they were so self-referential that they didn't really leave themselves much room to tell a unique story. Say what you will about TLJ, but I feel like Johnson ultimately got cut for deviating too far from the callbacks gold mine for Disney's/Abram's liking.
Experience bij!

I am very much so. :) Just pondering if I should bother swiftly relocating to the Pacific to start playing it half a day earlier.

I have it in m library, but ... eh. I will probably play the campaign at some point and maybe some battles against bots, but I'm in no rush.

Supposedly it is released world-wide at midnight in London, which should be 5pm MDT.
