I'm not sure if this has been addressed already or not..... 75018 Stealth Fighter is a black E Wing fighter. I was in one of the local independent stores hunting for 2013 sets and was allowed to look through the book.

Very cool build. The detail is really nicely captured without overloading anything. I don't know if "Darth Vader" would be the object of a memorial statue erected by Jedi, as opposed to Anakin Skywalker. As Darth Vader he murdered many Jedi, and even dismembered and tortured his own children, but as Anakin, he defeated the Emperor. I'd think Darth Vader would be remembered by Sith or Imperial Remnants, but even within the Empire itself, Vader was a hated man. Semantics aside, this is a seriously good piece of work.

Pretty decent build for the ship, stickers will be a pain in the butt. Figs look pretty awesome. I still think the Han figs are lacking, there's no side printing for his bloodstripes. I'll probably buy at least 1 if not 2 of these. I hope the Planet series has an A Wing in the future, getting a squadron's worth of A Wing pilots this way is going to be a mite pricey. The new B Wing pilots from the planet series have equal levels of detail, and a new helmet as well. This is going ot be a very expensive year for buying minifigs.

I think it's high time they mined the Expanded Universe more thoroughly. A serious version of the Outrider w/ Dash and Leebo, Mara Jade and Jade's Shadow, Thrawn and C'Boath at Weyland with the cloning cylinders, Tosche Station w pre Rebellion Biggs, the Solo and Skywalker children, the Noghri, Barabels, Bothans, Quarren, E-Wings, K-Wings, there's so much out there to be brought to life. Even with the Old Republic, they could get REALLY historic and put out Jedi figs with the externally powered lightsabers.
