Thank you, nerd.

I was pretty sure it wasn't X-Wings that were kicking around on Hoth in Empire.

Though I realized something as I watched this movie (and I loved it, BTW) - the Rebel Alliance isn't exactly the rag-tag group of misfits that the original trilogy painted them as.

These guys have a fighter wing that rivals the Air Force. And it sure seems like they have some fire-superiority over the Empire with the X-Wing as well.

Rogue One gave us a bit of a different feel regarding our plucky upstarts - these guys are a pretty heavily armed military force in their own right.
