In case you wanted to counterbalance your excitement with sadness.

It’s angry because it looks like a desert rain frog

It has a luxury badge. Of course it’s angry. As are so many cars out there with luxury badges.

So is Rita Ora also going to remake that “Brother o brother” song for the clone fight sequence?

Now that would be a trap.

Nothing but respect for my Mark X

Have a ZZW11, can confirm. Mine has manual locks and windows and no AC, but it’s still surprisingly usable, though as a fun car only.

IIRC, Lawrence Holland, creator of TIE Fighter (and X-wing, and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe) specifically wanted to explore the “good people on both sides” concept. Doesn’t quite translate to modern sensibilities.

This is quite the Boschian tableau.

Science has better things to do with its time, mostly surrounding the definition of “coupe”.

You know those “gas, grass, or ass” requests aren’t legally binding right?

Tom Gale is the man. IMO he’s the most underrated modern car designer.

Yeah, the timing is a bit on the nose.

That’s not what I wanted to see mere hours out of stepping out of my own Saab which has had the heated seats running all winter.

Nope, it’s an aftermarket abomination in all markets; no XK came from the factory with a leaper since the XK150 in the early 60s.

Reminds me of the time I found my old car back on craigslist but being sold for its parts after a later owner apparently blew a head gasket. Not much of a big deal, you might say, but on a V8 Jaguar XJR just getting to the head is a chore and a half. Still hurt.

Especially now that Aaron Allston is one with the Force.

And may there be more unexpected species like Gamorreans in the cockpit!

Beautiful, really? It looks like an inflated F-Type.

Bonus points if they swap in a non-turbo 2JZ-GE like you actually see in that scene.
