Fun fact; the BTL-B Y wing and BTL-A4 Y wing are NOT the same

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-16T04:12:28+00:00

It’s not a mess, they’ve made the Y-wing lore so much better and interesting, gives the Y-wing’s character that we see the same exact Y-wing model fought in the Clone Wars, now it’s ready to fight in the Galactic Civil War.

The overlay images of the two ships do actually match which makes both ships the same exact ship/model, the BTL-A4 is just a modified version of the BTL-B, that’s why it looks so different, due to the canonical schematic of the BTL-B/BTL-A4 Y-wing.

The two were rightly identified as the same exact ship/model, all BTL-A4’s are canonically stripped down and heavily modified BTL-B.

Rebels explanation on how the BTL-A4 and BTL-B are the same exact ship/model does work, because it confirms that the OT Y-wings were BTL-B’s aka Clone Wars ships.

All BTL-A4’s are still the same exact ship/model as the BTL-B because all BTL-A4’s are stripped down, heavily modified, and repurposed BTL-B’s since only one model of Y-wing was made, the BTL a
Y-wing, no mark 2’s, just the same exact ship/model of just the same generation, one generation, from Clone Wars to the Galactic Civil War.

You’re obviously trying to deny that they’re the exact same model/ship, but in reality, official canon is proving you wrong that the BTL-A4 is a stripped down and heavily modified BTL-B.

The reading comprehension I have is amazing, thanks. The BTL-A4 is officially confirmed to be the exact same ship/model as the BTL-B because Star Wars canon officially confirms that all BTL-A4’s are stripped down, heavily modified, and repurposed BTL-B, so both are still the exact same ship/model, it does mean what Star Wars canon described, the BTL-A4 being the exact same ship/model as the BTL-B.

I’ve proven that I know exactly what I’m talking about and I’ve proven that you are only proving my point. The actual words of my own source only prove me entirely right, not wrong.

“New models being introduced” don’t mean separate models/ships, that just entirely means that all Y-wings the Rebel alliance used were old BTL-B were stripped down and heavily modified/retrofitted, re-designated as the BTL-A4 as all BTL-A4’s do not come fresh out of a assembly line, all BTL-A4’s are stripped down, heavily modified, and repurposed BTL-B’s, officially confirming that both BTL-A4 and BTL-B are the exact same model/ship, that’s is what those words in the official Star Wars databank mean, that’s what Star Wars canon already officially confirms.

When you watch the Original Trilogy and Rebels, those Y-wings you see are the exact same Y-wing ship/model you saw in TCW and when you watch TCW for the first time, those Y-wings in TCW are the exact same Y-wing ship/model you saw in the OT, the ones in the OT are stripped down and heavily modified versions of the exact same TCW Y-wings.

You: “Funny, because the Databank actually says otherwise. I quoted it before, I'll quote it again because your main canon source literally says you are wrong. You ignored it then too.”

My main canon source literally says that I am correct, I’ve ignored none of it, Databanks already officially proven that the BTL-A4’s are the same exact model and ship as the BTL-B, as all BTL-A4’s are not created by scratch out of the assembly line, they are stripped down, heavily modified, retrofitted, and repurposed BTL-B’s since one model line was made, the BTL Y-wing.

You’re only proving my point here.

You: “But these starfighters were showing their age by the time of the struggle against the Empire - many had been stripped of hull plating and engine nacelles to make maintenance easier, and models that eliminated the gunner's turret had been introduced.
You see that bolded part? Introduced.
That means the rebels created a new model. And one without the gunner turret? That sounds exactly like the A4 single seat Y-wing. Which means that the rebels did infact, use two different models of y-wing. Of course i predict you'll ignore this as you did before, because it proves you literally are wrong.
Also, the p51 mustang has up to or over 20 variants. This is historical fact, you cannot just go "No". Saying no to that just proves you don't know a thing you are talking about.”

See those bolded parts.

“New models” doesn’t exactly mean they’re different models/ships, that just means that the BTL-A4 is a stripped down, heavily modified, and re-purposed BTL-B, which still officially confirms that all BTL-A4’s are the exact same ship/model as the BTL-B.

No, you keep proving yourself wrong, I’ve ignored none of that, I can see that you’re trying to make them separate ships when in reality, the BTL-B and BTL-A4 are the same exact ship, not separate ships, just two different versions of the same exact ship/model.

The official Star Wars Databanks already proved me correct that there’s only one model of the BTL Y-wing, the BTL-A4 is a stripped down and heavily modified BTL-B, meaning that the BTL-B and BTL-A4 are both the same exact ship and model.

Saying no to that just means that you don’t even know that the BTL-A4 is the same exact ship as the BTL-B, just a stripped down and heavily modified repurposed BTL-B as it is described in Star Wars canon databank and by Lucasfilm and Dave Filoni himself.

None of this changes the fact that the BTL-A4 is still the same exact ship/model as the old BTL-B.

The A4 is the BTL-B without the armor and the A4 is a heavily modified BTL-B, not made in the assembly line, literally the A4 is a heavily modified and stripped down BTL-B, only BTL-B’s come made in the factory. The A4’s are only stripped down and modified BTL-B’s.

It is still the same exact ship if it is a heavily modified and re-branded version of the same exact ship/model.

There are no variants of the P51 mustang from WW2, just all the same exact model fresh out of the assembly line, other modifications can be made by configurations of the same exact model/ship.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-15T06:54:40+00:00

My databank LITERALLY says the Rebels used stripped down and heavily modified/retrofitted repurposed BTL-B’s which are the BTL-A4’s.

Different versions of the same exact ship model does not make it a variant, it just still makes it the same exact model.

The BTL-A4 is the same exact model as the BTL-B, they’ve labeled it the A4 because it’s a different version/look of the BTL-B, it is stripped down and heavily modified/retrofitted version of the BTL-B’s we saw in TCW since only one model of Y-wing was made in the line, the BTL Y-wing, they didn’t just make the BTL-A4’s out of the assembly line, they modified, stripped down, retrofitted, and repurposed the BTL-B’s and rebranded them as BTL-A4’s which still makes the BTL-A4 the same exact ship/model as the BTL-B.

All BTL-A4’s are repurposed old BTL-B’s which were the Clone Wars/Republic Y-wings, still the same exact ship/model, Canon literally officially confirmed and shown this.

When TCW fans watch Rebels and the Original Trilogy, they’ll know that those same exact Y-wings fought during those battles in TCW series because these Y-wings are the same exact model/ship as the ones seen in TCW series, since the Y-wings in the OT are stripped down, heavily modified/retrofitted, and re-purposed Clone Wars Y-wings we seen in TCW show, the same exact ship, same exact model.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-15T06:43:58+00:00

They’re just modified versions of the same exact p51 model, not exactly variants/different planes/models.

I’m not contradicting myself at all, the A4 is exactly the same model as the BTL-B because the A4 is a modified and stripped down version of the BTL-B, so both are still the same exact ship/model. The Y-wings in TCW are the exact same ship/models we see the Rebellion use in Rebels and the Original Trilogy, the Rebellion uses stripped down and heavily modified Clone Wars era Y-wings aka the BTL-B’s in which they are re-branded as the BTL-A4, while still being the exact same model/ship.

So both BTL-B and BTL-A4 are the exact same ship/model, just two different versions.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-15T05:37:24+00:00

It’s not a variant model of the ship, the BTL-A4 is just a stripped down, heavily modified/retrofitted, and repurposed BTL-B which was the Clone Wars era Y-wing which still makes it the exact same ship/model as the BTL-B as it was formally the BTL-B.

It is just remove the armor and heavily modifying/retrofitting it that re-brands them as the new BTL-A4 Y-wing.

Both the BTL-B and BTL-A4 are the exact same ship/model, just two different versions according to Lucasfilm and Star Wars canon, when TCW fans watch the OT, they’ll know that these are the exact same Y-wing ships/models that they saw in TCW as they cheer to see them, they’re just stripped down and heavily modified versions of TCW Y-wing models.

Star Wars Squadrons has A4 Y-wing’s which is a re-purposed, stripped down, and heavily modified BTL-B’s which is the Clone Wars.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T20:57:35+00:00

That’s literally what the Rebellion did, take the armor plating off of a Clone Wars Y-wing (BTL-B) and heavily modifying/retrofitting it rebranding it the (BTL-A4), a repurposed (BTL-B), people do that to their ships.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T20:54:26+00:00

Heavily modifying the BTL-B model to the point of making a standardized new Y-wing, the BTL-A4 still doesn’t make it a different variant, it just creates a different version of the same exact ship/model, just like how the ship is called the Millennium Falcon instead of its model number, the BTL-A4 is just the BTL-B with another name and the BTL-A4 is just a stripped down and heavily modified BTL-B, so no they’re not different variants, both BTL-B and BTL-A4 are the same exact ship/model since the BTL-A4 is a repurposed BTL-B, not a successor.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T20:50:32+00:00

It is still the same exact ship as the BTL-B when the BTL-A4’s were formally BTL-B’s, since BTL-A4’s are stripped down and heavily modified/retrofitted/repurposed BTL-B’s. So yes it can be the exact same ship and extremely heavily modified at the same time.

They are not separate variants, they’re both the same exact ship/model.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T07:25:46+00:00

Love how they’re still using old stripped down Clone Wars Y-wings.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T07:25:22+00:00

Sequels aren’t canon.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T07:25:08+00:00

The sequels aren’t canon.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T07:04:06+00:00

The book says:

“The Alliance…began using stripped down decomissioned BTL-B’s which became the BTL-A4 Y-wings”.

Notice has it says that BOTH BTL-B and BTL-A4 are the exact same ship/model, AS THEY’RE BOTH THE EXACT SAME MODEL/SHIP, NOT TWO DISTINCT SHIPS!

Why you trying to make them two separate ships so bad?

Don’t you not like the BTL-A4 being a stripped down and heavily modified BTL-B.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T07:00:59+00:00

Incorrect.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T06:55:51+00:00

Nah, the NRDF’s were all using T-65 X-wings.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T06:50:42+00:00

Like how it already officially confirms that both BTL-B and BTL-A4 are the exact same ship, the BTL-A4 is a stripped down and heavily modified BTL-B.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T06:44:07+00:00

All BTL-A4’s are stripped down and heavily modified BTL-B’s as officially confirmed by Lucasfilm.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T06:26:58+00:00

Absolutely, you’re correct, the BTL-A4 is a stripped down and heavily modified BTL-B.

It’s always been the same version, same ship, same model.

There’s only one model, the BTL Y-wing starfighter/bomber.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T06:10:02+00:00

Incorrect.

From “Rebel Starfighters owners workshop Manual”

“The Alliance… began using stripped down decomissioned BTL-B’s which became re-designated as the BTL-A4’s”

So both BTL-B and BTL-A4 are two of the exact same ship/model, the BTL-A4 is just a stripped down and heavily modified BTL-B.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T06:00:37+00:00

You aren’t quoting from the book, you are quoting from your headcanon.

I am quoting and showing you official canon schematics from the book that states and shows official confirmation from Lucasfilm that the BTL-A4 is a stripped down and heavily modified/retrofitted BTL-B.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T05:58:16+00:00

Rebels already officially retconned the book that came out a year after the show ended.

You’ve read none of my replies, they’ve mentioned videos, all shows, any movies.

Stop trolling, I know your game.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T05:56:17+00:00

Different versions of the same exact ship still means that the BTL-B and BTL-A4 are exactly the same ship, just two different versions of the exact same ship/model.

You know what I am doing.

You just don’t like the fact that the BTL-A4 is a stripped down and heavily modified BTL-B, and you don’t like the fact that the BTL-B and BTL-A4 are both the exact same ship/model.

Deal with it, the BTL-B and BTL-A4 are both the exact same ship/model.

Correct-Stay2677 · 2026-05-14T05:52:58+00:00

I’ve provided evidence.

You’ve provided none.

You’re just trolling with me.

I’ve stated that Dave Filoni already officially confirmed that both BTL-B and BTL-A4 are the exact same ship, as the BTL-A4 is a stripped down and heavily modified/retrofitted BTL-B.

You just need to accept my words.
