Here&#8217;s one more question to throw upon the pile: What&#8217;s up with the U-Wing? This troop transport looks something like an A-Wing fighter, but with an additional forward-swooping wingspan. Is it heavy and slow like a Y-Wing? Quick and poorly armored, like an A-Wing? Able to carry huge loads of bombs, like a B-Wing? Or versatile and capable of light-speed, like an X-Wing? And, what in the world happened to it to make it disappear from action before the Battle of Yavin?<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the case, you can take part of the action and help bring the Empire down a peg or two with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com\/prodinfo.asp?number=HSB7101&amp;utm_source=ee-blog&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=product\">Hasbro Star Wars Rogue One Rebel U-Wing Fighter Vehicle<\/a>. Complete with two Nerf-firing cannons and projectiles, you&#8217;ll be picking TIE Fighters off like a pro. With swinging wings that retract for flight and battle action &#8211; much like an X-Wing &#8211; you can chase down your adversaries or sneak into places where rebels shouldn&#8217;t be. It even comes with Captain Cassian Andor, a guy you&#8217;ve never heard of but will soon know a lot about.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, the opening of <em>Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em> is more exciting than <em>Star Wars:\u00a0The Force Awakens<\/em>, bringing us deeper into the story that we already know and love, as well as showing us what potential Disney has for these &#8220;Star Wars Stories&#8221; of theirs.
