Are these two vessels actually those normally assigned to the Tatooine system? Are they the "local bulk cruisers" which Han boasts about outrunning (and indeed does)? And if they are, does that mean that there are otherwise identical appearing Star Destroyers, some fast, some slow? Which makes some sense, the Devastator captures the Tantive IV above Tatooine, and they leave a couple of Star Destroyers behind to secure the system and locate the droids and Death Star plans.īut then again, does that make sense? If the Devastator itself is seen as enough to capture the fleeing Rebel vessel, then why (and indeed how) does it leave 2 full Star Destroyers behind to secure the planet? These days, having seen the movie "Solo: A Star Wars Story" and the Star Destroyers being manufactured above that world I would tend to think that Star Destroyers as we see them throughout the movies are the "big Corellian ships" and that we never saw the "local bulk cruisers" in the movies at all. So I personally always wondered what the big Corellian ships were like. When I originally watched the movie, I always assumed later in the movie when they're fleeing Tatooine and come under fire from a couple of Star Destroyers, that those were the "local bulk cruisers" that Han was refering to. Now, the above quote comes from the original "Star Wars, A New Hope" and is when Han is describing the Millenium Falcon to Ben Kenobi when he's asked if it's a fast ship. Now this is less of a big editorial, as many I've written in the past have been, but more just a topic for discussion and conversation.
Not the local bulk cruisers mind you, I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now." - Han Solo (Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope)
