Background[]

The RZ-1 A-wing interceptor was a starfighter developed by the Rebel Alliance, and was considered to be one of the fastest mass-produced interceptors in the galaxy. Green Squadron, a unit of A-wings, participated in the Battle of Endor. The squadron's task was to disable the ion cannons present on the Star Destroyer fleet so that the Alliance fleet was able to manoeuvre into position to attack the Executor. Whilst leading a run on the Executor, Arvel Crynyd (Green Leader) was hit, and his craft spun into the unshielded bridge of the Super Star Destroyer, causing it to lose control and be destroyed after crashing into the Second Death Star, though Green Two crashed into the Executor's body, disabling many turrets and enabling Arvel to fly undeterred into the bridge

Minifigures Included[]

Notes[]

  • The A-Wing pilot's helmet is a new piece.
  • The word "Warning" (in Aurebesh) is displayed on the dashboard.
  • Ackbar's marks on his headpiece are slightly darker than in his first appearance, in 7754 Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser.
