Well... In Rise of Skywalker, Finn did call it "Red Five".

Finn: Red Five is in the air. Rey's alive.

Poe Dameron: I see her.

Finn: People are rising up all over the galaxy. Poe... we did it.

Poe Dameron: We did it.

Yes, even weirder since Luke abandons his xwing on Cloud City under Imperial control at the end of E5.

There’s always a way to make it work if people really want it, just doesn’t make a lot of sense from continuity. But who needs to care about that.

I always assumed Red 5 was an assigned call sign during the attack and not the official name of a specific ship. Like “Gold leader” or “Red leader” was a role they had and not something the ships were referred to afterwards (in another attack another ship could be Red 5 or Red leader).

Yes, this would be generally how ship callsigns are used, which is during a mission. Callsigns can also be assigned to pilots, but the movies used real names and not callsigns for the pilots, at least during the Battle of Yavin.

See what happens, Meathead ? Go to your room and think about what you did.

I really don’t want to keep going back and forth. It’d be more plausible that he was issued another xwing and it’s registration was changed to Red 5, or that he hunted for the parts and rebuilt it while he was picking up force artifacts like Vader’s helmet.

Is it possible to confirm the ship on Achto is the same as OT Luke's? I believe novelizations confirm it is.

Probably a mystery like how Maz ended up the lightsaber.

Assuming you mean if it was the original Battle of Yavin Red 5, which would take some impressive hoop-jumping explanation, considering Luke abandoned his x-wing on CC in E5, and a “Red 5” used in the Battle of Endor was blown up with a non-Luke Rebel red shirt piloting.

Besides, I’m not really sure what is required for CG when it comes to canon/non-canon sourcing. Or that it even has to be explained. Maybe it is Rey 5. I hope it’s farmboy.

Star Wars #4 Luke goes back to Cloud City to look for his lightsaber. He never finds it but rescues Lando and leaves with his X-wing.

Nice, so apparently he did go back. I stand corrected.

Still hope it’s farmboy though.

- Rebel Pilot Luke
- New Death Star raid
- Red Five shards for completing raid
- Both will be needed for the Galactic Legend Leia Organa ( Rebel Leader )

That could be what's in store for the end of 2022 and most of 2023.

Hey as long as it works with Mace's capital ship!

Yup, no possible way he could have ever returned for it.

Especially since after the rescue han in ROTJ, he takes off to Dagobah in it...

Surely it with either be farm boy (which almost no one has geared above GVII) and is featured in a feat this conquest, or it will be a new Luke for people to whale on, along with the absurd kyro requirements of a modern unit.

Ah yes, almost no one has geared farmboy above G7, even though you basically need him at G9 to unlock CLS

Mot much of a difference between G7 and G9.
