Yeah and maybe Anakin grabs it for that chase through the streets of Coruscant. "There's something familiar abou this bike..."
I doubt that we'll see any of it again. Hope to see a new Tie though. Maybe Palpy starts building a Republican Army and Navy and we'll see the first prototypes of Tie Fighters.

Well, according to the time line (and I think this is Insider's Guide material as well) the X-Wing was developed four years prior to ANH. It was a superior design stolen by the rebels. The Y-Wing is older, later replaced by the B-Wing.
So if GL sticks to it, no X-Wings in the PT. And I think Palpy would go for TIE's only.

sith infiltrator
it wont ever be seen again. I very much doubt, lucas probably has so much he wants to say in episode 2 he wont bother telling us what happened to the sith infiltrator. What i want to know is what the stormtroopers looked like in episode 4 when luke and han took their armour off them. They must have been clones but as lucas couldn't show this he just didn't show them.
Re: sith infiltrator
Darth Sidious/Palpatine would fly it back to Coruscant. He's too clever to leave it lying around waiting to be discovered. Remember, the new Sith value secrecyI don't know if Darth Tyrannus will use it or not in Episode 2. The Sith Infiltrator will probably be used to help design the original TIE fighter.
