The Secret Backbone of the Rebellion (mystery ship fan lore)

July 19, 2025
The Rebel fleet at the end of "The Empire Strikes Back" has a number of unidentified mystery ships. This is my take on the most clearly seen mystery ship.

Interesting use of parts and imagnination.

This guy is great. He has done some fantastic ship creations based upon only blurry images in the early films.

You could look through his channel and see some of the stuff he has done. Something he figured out and then later had confirmed was that a number of the ships in the background in Jedi were just very crude constructions. Little more than shapes. Because they would only be tiny and blurry, they did not need even basic detail. In one of his videos he indicates that after he figured out the overall shape of something, he had it confirmed to him. Presumably somebody had a photo of the actual object and showed it to him, or maybe he got a back room tour of Skywalker Ranch and somebody showed it to him. He later constructed a more detailed version.
