Why the B-Wing is CALLED the B-Wing - Star Wars Explained #Shorts | Star Wars Explained

Report from the Holocron of Xela. Description: Do you know why the B-Wing is called the B-Wing? It doesn’t look much like a B. During production for Return of the Jedi, two new Rebel fighters were created and simply labeled A fighter and B fighter. Visual effects artist Bill George had a lot of input on the B fighter, and it received the nickname the Bill-wing. Star Wars Legends eventually called the ship the Blade-wing for its swordlike appearance in attack mode. The Star Wars Rebels episode Wings of the Masters brought the name into canon. So we can assume the B stands for Blade. #shorts --- Subscribe for more Star Wars videos every day! --- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/starwarsexplain Second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5KUexDNjIDcGPz4nAY9mBw Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@starwarsexplain Alex on Twitch: https://twitch.tv/alexdamonlive Mollie on Twitch: http://twitch.tv/molliedamon Instagram: http://instagram.com/starwarsexplained Twitter: https://twitter.com/StarWarsExplain Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/starwarsexplained Discord: https://discord.gg/ZPwEnDT Google+: http://goo.gl/Q3gDkY Star Wars Tees: http://shrsl.com/?~9i83 Mailing Address Star Wars Explained 1227 Rockbridge Rd SW Ste 208 PMB 264 Stone Mountain, GA 30087
