[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 2291294, member: 4720"] Well, the only named ship in the original trilogy was the [i]Millenium Falcon[/i]. And really, the reason the Falcon became important is that it's [i]Han's ship[/i]. No one in the new trilogy is really DEFINED as a pilot or smuggler or anything of that nature. While it might have been nice to have a ship like the Falcon that was iconic, there's really no one to hang it to. Obi-wan doesn't especially like to fly. Anakin will fly anything. And besides, Jedi aren't supposed to possess things, so having any of them own a ship is right out. Who do we have left that could have a ship? Padme? Meh. It would feel VERY tacked on for her to be particularly enamored of any particular ship. Besides, if any ship had been recurring and important to the plot, everyone would have been whining "THIS is his idea of a replacement for the [i]Falcon[/i]!!" Oh, yeah, they WERE doing that with the chrome thing from Episode I, anyway. Man, we fans are picky, irritating, jumping-to-conclusions punks, aren't we? [/QUOTE]
