9497: Republic Starfighter from SWTOR

Forget the Wookiepedia visual that everyone has been posting since this morning, I really turned the whole internet around for you and found you a real RED Republic Starfighter visual that served as the inspiration for the set 9497 Republic Striker Starfighter...

This ship appears in the webcomic  Star Wars: The Old Republic Blood of the Empire, a series of comics distributed on the web and which takes place in the world of MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic.

He will presumably also appear in the video game.

By the way, if you are a fan of comics and understand English, take a look on this comic in 3 acts. It is top of the range.

And all of a sudden, this 9497 set takes on a little more meaning: This ship is really red, it has these shapes, and the LEGO reproduction is convincing.

So, thanks who?
