>>6470320Even in the evolution of stealth, the F-117 and B-2 were derived from the german engineered Ho 229 design. The jump to the Raptor, as you said, was to combine elements of stealth and bomber into the fighter design.
And that conparison to tie fighters is exactly what I'm saying. It would make sense for the First Order and the Resistance to continue using old models like TIE and X-wing for cost effectiveness and for newer ships to just be improved updates of older ships.
