"I don't know, fly casual!" In this video, we break down one of the most beautiful ships in Star Wars, the Sienar Fleet Systems Lambda-class T4a shuttle. Music Courtesy of Epidemic Sound: Racing Hearts | Mattie Maguire Stardriver | ELFL
When building one and having trouble figuring out how to get the Crew Cabin, body, & Ramp just Right, i learned the Set Designers of ROTJ had the same problem, especially with the 7 foot tall Vader, so the Actual Built Shuttle does have different dimensions than the miniature in the movie.((Very end of the Video You mention it too. Great Job!!))
I've loved this ship for 40 years and you're the first person to explain why it's called the Lamda Class. It's hilarious how simple, Like A,X, or Y, just didn't know the Latin alphabet. Thank You!!
The intro to Star Wars: Rebellion features the shuttle prominently whether you choose the Empire or Rebellion. I bought three of the die cast shuttles to have one open for the memories, one for storage as new, and one for a gifting. It's an icon for the saga. Which reminds me I should dust off my lamb or llama shuttle.
The nose doesn’t actually move on the Lambda shuttle, its position is just inconsistent between the original filming miniature and ground set. It would be cool if it did, though!
What an excellent compilation of information. The way that you pronounced Nien Numb is different than I have ever heard, is there a source that you got this from (did any Bothans die to bring this information)? I am curious because so many other words were pronounced the same as I have heard, leading me to believe the difference was intentional. Either way, thanks for a good video I subscribed.
It’s spelled “Nien Nunb” like Numb with an N instead of an M, so I figured that’s how it was pronounced. I don’t know if that’s actually correct though.
I plan to make one about that! I might wait until TBB Season 3 comes out, though. I also have a video listing all the Greek letter shuttles in the works too.
I didn’t say it was two variants, I said the set didn’t match the filming miniature. To my knowledge, the cockpit has never been depicted swiveling (though that would be a cool feature!).
