E-Wing: 1st Official Photos

Micro Galaxy Squadron E-wing

The highly anticipated Micro Galaxy E-wing can finally be seen in its full glory, just hours after the Pirate Snub Fighter.

Front packaging

There will be two E-wing versions in the wave; Ahsoka’s blue E-wing fighter (Common), and this Legends E-wing from the Dark Empire comic series (Rare variant).

Back of packaging

It comes with a Rebel Alliance pilot in a green jumpsuit similar to the A-wing pilot, as well as an R-5 droid.

Features include an opening cockpit, movable wings, and retractable landing gear.

One notable change is the look of the E-wing fighter. Instead of using the EU version with its tri-cannon setup, the MGS ship uses the new one from Disney.

This is because it uses the same mold as the new E-wing from the Ahsoka TV series. Hence we’re seeing a repeat of the MGS A-wing situation, where the new Resistance RZ-2 A-wing is also used for the older Rebellion-era RZ-1.

This means the old Action Fleet E-wing remains the only one of its kind. While the new E-wing is available in 3.75″ (Hasbro), 1:72 (MGS) and brick versions (Lego), the original E-wing exists only in Micro Machines Action Fleet version.

The MGS E-wing also seems to be a clean, brand new fighter compared to the “used” look of the AF one.

The Micro Galaxy Squadron E-wing escort fighter is part of Series 6 Light Armor Class. It was first teased during the Star Wars Celebration in London in April 2023, and will finally be released in the coming months.
