Star Wars combat vehicles are iconic,
sure, but almost always dumb in design and employment. Look no further than all-terrain transports that have legs instead of treads and
are now shaped like apes for no good reason. So when
Star Wars spilled details on a new First Order spaceship called the Dreadnought, I expected something visually cool, totally unusual, and wildly inaccurate—like a spaceship with wings and a dragon neck or something.
Instead, the opposite happened. At first glance, it looked like Star Wars had actually veered toward the plausible. The reason for this rush of excitement? The Dreadnought was muchmore symmetrical.
