I wouldnt have thought so. The design looks too advanced to be in ep3

That be me Junky

No more advanced than the new Jedi Starfighters.

True, but i must say i always thought the Lambda looked outta place in the OT. It always looked too clean and ellegant compared with the other battered and grey spacecraft. I think it would look ok in the PT.

But that aside, it's definatley my fav - gorgeous!!!

The new versions of the star destroyers are not Victory class. They are pictured in the new SW Insider, if someone explains to me how to post a pic, I'll scan and post it. The info Clai posted can be found in the Essential Guide to Vehicles and the Roleplaying games stats for ships. As far as the films go, they've never shown the so-called "Imperial Class" Stardestroyer because in all the pics of it in the Guide to Vehicles, it has a bunch of antennaes and crap on the command head piece. All the Star Destroyers in the movies look the same. Its just info they cooked up to add more dynamics to video and roleplaying games.
Anyway, the new ships do look much longer then they are wide, as opposed to the near equilladeral triangle of the AOTC troop transport. They have the groove down the sides that widen into the engine area very similar to the OT Destroyer. The head piece now runs perpendicular to what the OT Destroyer has. (it now runs lengthwise). There are insets about half way up the fuselage, one on each side. They also have a red stripe painted up the center of the fuselage. Its a very dull red, it looks subtle. In the same pics, there are also ships which strongly look like the rebel transports of ESB but they are clearly different ships. Older models perhaps. Again, tell me how to post pics and all put them all up, including the one of Obi-wan the jedi council member (as he now sits next to Ki-adi-mundi).

Hey mephistodesigns, check your private messages. I have given
some wise information about posting photos on threads. 😄

thanks, I'll get them up shortly....

okay, they are already up on a site vanyoda pointed out to me.

Here's the battle, a "star destroyer" is seen at the top and another at bottom right.

and no, Ki is not a ghost, he's in the meeting via hologram since he's out fighting clone wars.

Thanx Meph.

Meph, the OT SD's were "imperial" class. The "victory" class is the SD that's never been shown in the films. It's a horrid looking ship with annteni as you said.

The only SDs that are canon are in the OT every thing else is EU. We will have to wait and see what they call them in ROTS.

Another major difference between Imperial Class and Victory class Star Destroyer's are that Victory's can actually land ON planets...

in A New Hope, the two Star Destroyer's pursuing the Millenium Falcon at Tatooine are Victory Class. As you can see, they look the same as Imperial class.

and Victory class Star Destroyer's were made near the end of the Clone Wars, so im pretty sure they'll be in Episode III. We'll probably also see Dreadnaughts, but any other light cruiser like the Dreadnaught (ie Carrack or Lancer) were developed in the days of the Empire, so we most likely wont see it unless Lucas doesnt stick to EU.

They are victory class?, never knew that. Where did you find that out?

As said, the whole Victory Class and Dreadnought thing is EU. The ones in the neww film will not necessarily bare any resmeblance whatsover (they certainly don't looke like visual representations of them).

nice images meph...and there are early star destroyers in episode 2 people.....ill find an image

They have already been mentioned...
