It's not an X-Wing. Looks more like a Z95 Headhunter...

...which was based on Ralph McQuarrie's original concept art for the X-wing.

Not at all a fan, especially when the final design used in the films looked a LOT better.

It's a Z-95t.

Time to break out X-wing alliance  :x

I love that there are going to be actual sets and props in this movie as opposed to green screen city.

Z95 has single laser cannon on each wing:


X-Wing has one on each s-foil, hence 2 on the "wing tips":


But, notice the single engine intake, which is different from both. It is a new style fighter based on previous designs.

It really looks more like a Z-95t to me, visually modified a little here and there, than an X-Wing. :noid

As I said, this looks built from the original McQuarrie concept art.

It should be noted that pirates, rebels, backwater outer rim gov't's etc often use what they can get andheavily modify their equipment.  It's possible this particular ship is a modified version, or even a combination of two different fighters built with cannibalized parts... 

Hard to know without context.  I have seen Z95's in comics with two cannons on each wingtip tho...

I'll be honest, I'm seriously hoping to see this crash and burn. Lucas already milked the cow dry, now Disney's trying to squeeze out a last bit of curdled milk. I can safely say I've never been sitting around thinking, "Gee, you know what would be awesome? Three MORE mainline Star Wars movies and a bunch of solo spinoffs for supporting characters."

The only potential good I foresee this doing the franchise is giving more fuel for Darths & Droids to continue after they get through Return of the Jedi.

Seriously, it's really kind of pathetic that a webcomic satire gave the Prequel Trilogy more dramatic weight THAN THE MOVIES THEMSELVES.
