i just saw episode 1 to 3 of starwars and realised that the Republic Gunship is a nearly exact copy of the thunderhawk design wise is it just me or is this the best copy case ever

Is that the one that is vaguely reminiscent of a Russian Hind 'copter?

okay okay but its both orbital insertion gun-ships so the similarity is maybe logic dictated

Certainly  The concept is really cool so it is hardly surprising that various designers have adapted it

I had the 'misfortune' of having watched 'We were soldiers' about a week before Episode 2, and some of the vintage footage looked EXACTLY like the motions of the Republic gunships. It looks more like a cross between a Huey slick and a Hind to me, anyway!

Mmmm... I rarely have fictional weapon avarice, but I really want the ball-turret from the gunship. I have a similar desire for Tetsuo's laser cannon (from the movie Akira).
That sounded weird. Better invite Yen over.
