For the split second it was intact it actually looked really cool.

Well that was wonderfully predictable.

Real Life != Fiction.

Excellent, must be some properly disappointed geeks standing watching that.

Dont they know anything the attack position of the x-wing should only be used in space....

Actually, that was pretty cool. Would be ace if we saw them flying about in a couple of years time.

It doesnt even explode! just falls apart like someone glued it together!

Nice attempt though

That's funny, the one with the Tie fighter is better.

Hobgoblin · 17 Oct 2007 at 14:05

i love the comments on the first video. arguing about a parsec and then complaining about the wings position

SGCWill · 17 Oct 2007 at 14:07

Apparently they heard him over the radio saying "I can hold it..."

It was his last transmission.
