AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: LAUNCHING THE TRANSPORTS!


Created by Joe Johnston and originally nicknamed 'tuna tubs' because of their pink-ish visage, the flying pod transport container vessels, essential vehicles for the Rebel Alliance to be protected at all costs, are not fully appreciated visually unless you see them close-up in model-form, especially with their maws, filled with cargo containers as well as evacuated Rebel crew members.
