Lucasfilm Animation asked if LucasArts had designed a Republic fighter, so I jumped at the chance to quickly design a light, yet disposable fighter that could work. I took reference from the WWII Corsair's folding wings to imagine a ship that could be stored, then expanded for flying. To my surprise this design then showed up in the Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars, then again in the Dave Filoni Clone Wars.
