   ...No sir, I don't like it.

I mean, I don't like the whole retro-tech thing in general-"Let's build a super-fighter, in the shape of something that totally wasn't engineered for this job." Do you want to be murdered by engineers crushing you to death by dropping drafting tables on you? The result, by all logic, would be a tortured creation of 'modern' technology forced into ancient forms, like building a modern warship in the shape of one of Nelson's Ships of the Line. It would be either a cripple, a joke or a monstrous money pit.

But this one...The Avro Arrow is largely a myth, even today. In 400 years, what would they have to go on to reconstruct it besides a few photos? Why burn effort and time working on a centuries old design that you aren't even sure will match something a lot cheaper? Unless you could build a modern starfighter to look like literally anything, in which case the DIE-WING should be a much more successful design, and there ought to be something made out of force-fields, guns and engines strapped to a lawn chair out there that out-performs the TIE series.

And then there is the designated punching bag status of the villains, who can't notice the building of the factories, the shipments of ultra-rare alloy, or the building of the airbases when they are ostensibly in control of the area. That sticks in my craw as well. How can I take them seriously when they're idiots? And if I can't take them seriously, how am I supposed to care about what they do, or why the protagonists are fighting them?
