Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?

No, bad quote! Do you know the story of the V-19 Torrent starfighter? Let& #39;s go for a short ship thread...
[Ship thread] V-19 Torrent starfighter - Clone Wars (Animated TV series, 2003).
From the old SW databank: "As external licensees began exploring the action of the Clone Wars, it became clear that the Republic needed a fighter-class space ship that was faster and more maneuverable than the Republic gunship."
For this task, Lucas Licensing turned to LucasArts& #39; Art Director, Chris Williams and Concept Artist Greg Knight, who together have had over 1,000 approved Star Wars designs used in games and comic books.

Greg Knight: "Back in 2002, I had just finished a project at LucasArts where I designed a bunch of Star Wars vehicles. Lucas’ Licensing department asked if I had anything that could be used as a fighter for an undisclosed project."

We">https://gregknightart.wordpress.com/2010/08/2... can clearly see the evolution of design:
Apparently, the Torrent fighter& #39;s folding wings were inspired by the Vought F4U Corsair (1940).

If anyone knows Greg, I have a couple of questions for him. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😇" title="Smiling face with halo" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with halo">

Greg turned in the design shortly after, in 2002.
"Six months pass and I saw it shown in Genndy Genndy Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars Series. What a surprise!"

There were a lot of Torrent in Clone Wars https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙃" title="Upside-down face" aria-label="Emoji: Upside-down face"> ">https://youtu.be/xPAmVRWiZ...
"When Dave Filoni’s Clone Wars Series came out, I was blown away to see that they were still using it."

Greg Knight: "On top of that, they made a toy out of it! We bought one for my girls. Apparently Polly Pockets fits perfectly into the cockpit. I’m feeling proud and a little bothered at the same time."
There was a cool Lego V-19 Torrent, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X14bhdIdoE">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

In-universe, the Torrent is gradually replaced by the V-Wing at the end of the Clone Wars. A thread for another time.
More recently, we saw the V-19 in Poe Dameron (2018). 53 years after the end of the Clone Wars.

Last time, I think, was in Age of Republic - Anakin Skywalker 1 (2019) by @Jody_Houser

Hope to see it again in the Cassian Andor TV series! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😏" title="Smirking face" aria-label="Emoji: Smirking face">
For now...
Then thanks the Story Group team and I& #39;m counting on you to see the Torrent soon ;-)

I really like this design. https://twitter.com/Jody_Houser/status/1253479042486960129">https://twitter.com/Jody_Hous...
